Re: The Ten Quid Pom Returns
okay, at the eight day mark and all is going very well..
The removalists picked up my 4 boxes and 2 guitars yesterday so that is my wordly possessions off into the ether which gives me 10-12 weeks to get meself sorted and into a place....
I've decided to buy a static in the short term so i can take my time finding the right pub that i want to live near whilst taking an extended holiday through europe (2 years should do it)...
The missus/er indoors/she who must be obeyed, is still driving me nuts due to her being the worlds greatesy worrier. 'course, me cracking a tinnie and smiling at her probably doesn't help...

Apart from which, there is a healthcare treaty between NHS and Medicare which covers the basics until i get signed on.

Absolutely, I am planning on buying a static home down south (Cornwall maybe) which will be my base in England during the nice weather.
