I'm coming home to blighty
« on: 28 April 2009, 19:47:36 »
Well guys the movers have been and taken all but the fridge and a matress which will be collected tomorrow with my garage full of tools  ;D

Tomorrow and thursday I close out the last few things with work and then drive though Germany, Holland, brussels and france to dunkirque where we jump on the ferry and kip the night in Dover somewhere.  Saturday we drive upto Aldershot and move into our new quarter.

I'm driving the miggy with the boat strapped to the roof and the wife is driving the Jag.  Needless to say a full complement of fluids, tools and typical spares are accompanying me as the car was layed up for several months until last week.

So if you see a silver miggy with a blue dinghy on the roof, honk away!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheeky get!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well we got another spouse visa which I found out the army will pay for as she needs one for my posting back to the UK so good news there.  In getting this one I found out the original advice we were given over the phone by UKBA was pish and we could have gotten ILR back last year.  I was right whilst accompanying me while I serve abroad she is still considered living in UK, we both are hence paying UK tax and NI.  So I feel a letter of complaint coming on  ::) ::)

As soon as I finish the seats above the water tight battery compartments (electric motor  :y) and finish the sails off I'll be up there in a jiffy.  Are there any launching fees on bala?
