Default Nearly On the Streets

We have had the worst experience in moving to New Zealand, my partner lived here before and moved to England eight years ago we both moved to NZ at the beginning of December, (first mistake). The exchange rate wiped out savings, my work gave me less money than they promised when I left (manager had his facts wrong), everywhere people expected money way above that quoted well in excess of what we had budgeted for, the people helping us move never turned up so we went over time! another £400 gone and we didn't get everything on the container!

Then the kennels (for the dogs flights) wouldn't answer the door when we got there so we had to go all the way back home to the Midlands after going to Heathrow and moving our flights, so we had to hire a car a second time we could not leave our dogs so now nobody will rent property to us unless it costs a fortune, except one which has basically taken most of our money due to the expense, cost of living is massive and work is non existent at least while companies are on xmas break, 10th of Jan what's that about. Have maybe one week left rent money with nothing coming in, and our container arrives in 3 weeks, well at least we have a car to kip in, chin up eh!!

Oh yeah and our bank account was robbed online 4 weeks before we left £907.00!
Sorry its so depressing but it is actually worse.

We will get sorted somehow, its just a pain and worry, and scary. You do know Dennis would never fly on a plane don't you? he never travelled with Arsenal abroad unless in a coach.

Dennis would never fly on a plane because he was more scared of being used as a drug mule by the others..Merson, Adsams etc
