Hi.
Yea, once I get a work visa down here, the blog will continue.
As for now I may have to rename it 'a british housewife in america' :unsure:
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope it helped you somehow.

:D yea, you're probably right.
To be honest though, I'd rather do that than run the Coquihalla etc in January.
I'm really glad I did it last winter and now have that experience to remember but it really can be dangerous and I've no interest in doing it again. I saw a LOT of bad wrecks in the mountains and, given the choice, I'll wear yellow gloves.

Cool, any idea when you'll get your WP? have you any idea who you want to work for once it's sorted?
Is there a big driver shortage on that side of the border too?:thumbup:

Work authorisation takes around 3 months from AOS filing.
No idea who I want to work for yet but had some offers for when I get a visa.
Yea, huge shortage here, same as everywhere i think.

Just had lunch :)
Gonna go shopping for Mums birthday present soon, then I'll be back.
I used to run into Corby years ago.
I worked for Littlewoods/home express and ran night trunks to our depot there.
That run from Ferrybridge down the A1 used to bore me to tears.....lol.
