Dear readers,

I just got back from CHC with 4 pristine visas in my grubby paws.

I can now reveal the cunning plans of the 876 family:

4th Oct:

1. Mr 876 and Miss 876 to CHC
2. Removals guys arrive and start packing (supervised by Mrs 876)
3. Mr & Miss 876 collect visas and head for base
4. Slap-up binge at local indian restaurant.

5th Oct:

1. Removals guys return with container and we say "bye bye" to worldly goods.
2. Mr 876 drops off small hire car and picks up big hire car.
3. 876 family leave rented house (and good riddance) to stay overnight with friends.

6th Oct:

1. 876 family arrive at Gatwick and depart on Zoom 611 for Toronto.
2. 876 family 'land' sometime after 8.30 p.m.
3. After landing, Limo whisks 876 family to London (ON) hotel.
4. 876 family stagger from Limo with contents of free bar.

7th Oct:

1. 876 family picks up new hire car and house keys.
2. 876 family goes shopping (and how)

8th Oct:

1. Thanksgiving - 876 family in heap.

Read it and weep cneldred (good luck for the 20th)

Any questions?

Wow - hope it all goes that smoothly for you - if not try completing the free bar step first - I find that usually helps smooth everything else out
Good luck

limo, not a bad idea....was trying to organise a car hire i could pick up at Toronto and drop off in Barrie. But your way seems much more simple.

Can i ask how much???

Chris

Oh, we're talking now are we? None of the "mobility scooter" now you want something, eh? Fortunately I'm not a vindictive person.

We looked at the one-way hire car costs and decided that a Limo was worth the bucks. It's not every day you land as an immigrant so we thought, "what the heck".

The cost for the Robert Q airbus to London worked out at $210 for us all and the Limo (Hamilton Limo) came in at $230 - including the free bar, DVD, surround sound, etc. No contest really. big plus is that none of us have to drive.

Let me know if you want the link. We'll be online until 12.00 5th Oct.

Simon & Laura.

Good luck both- its come at last

Simon was that you I shook hands with at the embassy today I was in a total dreamworld & hadnt even thought about anyone on this forum being there. My wife wrote my posts yesterday as I was at work.

Good luck for your new life for you & your family, we will be following in approx 8 weeks time.

It was a strange day all in all couldnt park at train station took an age to get there train was late & I hate going back to London all good reasons to justify our reasons for leaving this crap country. 20p to pee at victoria what a joke

Best of luck Simon. Weathers great over here right now late 20's, and was 32 a few days ago.

Hi,

Really pleased for you and wish you the best of luck but can't help stamping my feet and screaming ITS NOT FAIR!!!!

Yep, t'was I. I'm glad I went - I couldn't have trusted good old RM to guarantee prompt delivery I'm afraid.

The very best of luck to you in your new life!

Simon

Many congrats Simon and Laura and teenkids too. 'Bout time it happened for you all and I'm not surprised that you are going in style.

Hope the move goes smoothly

Good luck! If it all goes smoothly you'll certainly have something to give thanks for when you get here .

sounds like a perfect plan ! good luck to all of you !

all the best,
Tina
