Busy Times

It has been a busy few weeks in our preparation for our move to Canada.
We have had a number of viewings on the house and another offer which we have negotiated and accepted. We have booked flights and removers for July, wow!! Its not that far away. Things may have to be brought forward by several weeks when we agree a completion date on the house. We may have to move into a holiday flat for a few weeks, or a tent on the prom. Zof and I have started sorting even more of our belongings into those we want and those we can sell or throw away. The Jeep has been sold, not for a great price but more than I was expecting, Zof has started the process of moving the number plate M200UTD from the Jeep so she can sell it. When we should sell the GTI has been a topic of conversation but no real decision as yet
As well as all this we are moving towards the really busy times at work and I am organising a conference for the Governors Association. Why do we do it? There have been some good fun days in the Lakes with friends helped by really pleasant sunny weather over Easter, but most weekends are about planning and looking forward to our new life in Canada.
Every day events include looking at the exchange rate, it is a real roller coaster ride working out what a fall of 3-4 cents per pound would do to our finances. Also Bill spends some time keeping an eye on the Canadian economy re jobs and house prices, lots of concerns there as circumstances change. It seems like Canada has not been so badly effected as the UK but then they don't have the BBC creating panic with every bit of bad news plastered over their news bulletins.
