Tresco Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I know what's happening, but I'm not telling. [:D] Well, it's Alis' story to tell. Maybe she has too many fingers 'crossed' to type. [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Good Luck You can tell me to mind my own business for now but when things get moving I am really interested in how it works out for you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewPM Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Erm. What's this all about then ? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Its the LF Soap Opera!Ali and her husband Mark are moving over here, but it's been a rollercoaster ride with dodgy buyers, ailing parent, last minute doubts and generally very high levels of flakiness demonstrated by Ali. so much so that only last night I was moved to call her a ninny-hammer, despite her obvious wit and intelligence.

ali-cat Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hang on!! I've never noticed this thread before now!! How could I miss one ..... about me!!! [:-))]Signed the contract to sell our house today!! Booked the cats journey, with the animal courier, about 20 minutes ago & now have to go & do the dinner dishes!! What an exciting day it's been!! Will hopefully be in France for 25th July!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Why can't you take the cats with you? How are you going to travel out there? Sorry about the state of the thread Ali but it has been outrageously hijacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I wondered why i couldnt lift my head up of the floor[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 The moggies are going about 2 weeks before us - mainly as we don't want to travel with them. I know - I'm a big softie - but I would hate to be in the car, hearing them cry, sitting in the plane, worring about them in the hold & then the same all over again again, from London to France to the house. They will be picked up - in an air-conditioned van - driven to the boat, stay in England & then the ferry to France. Boarded near Angouleme for a little while & brought to the house. Actually, they are going in more comfort & style than us!! We're stuck on a budget airline with no leg room & having to pay £3 for a yucky sandwich!! Oh!! I'm gonna miss them, something terrible!! [:(]Pads, what are your travel arrangements with your four legged friends?!! Don't worry about the thread being hijacked, KKK. I know it's nothing to do with you & I thank you for doing the decent thing & bringing it back, in-line. [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ali and Pads: Are you both coming to France forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hopefully - forever. We're renting for 6 months - just to be sure it's right for us, before sinking our money into our own house. I can't see us wanting to move back to the UK - but we feel safer having the option - just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 well for ever is a long time .................we have started with a small place to give us the option between now and when i can convince hubby its time to retire, to see if we really like it . if we do then we will sell up here move out and buy a place with more garden , if not its going to be a holiday place. I think we more than likley will move out in about 5 years ish or when income tax is less than here which ever comes first . but as hubby works away from home any way we can live where we like, so we will be spending a lot of time out there together or me on my own. to be honest we spend our lives not knowing where we will be next week let lone years. take care[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-cat Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It seems like it's going on forever - but then I look at the calendar, realise how much I have to do & panic!! I'm normally the most organised person I know - but I actually can't get motivated to start, this time. Maybe it's because the move has been on, then off, then on again & I worry if I start, it'll all be off again!! We are having our part-delivery collected next week (the stuff we will need in the next 6 months - including clothes, plants, paperwork etc.) - but I haven't even collected the boxes yet, from the removal people, to start packing!! I'll probably end up sticking the cats into storage, send Marks guitars with the animal courier & shoving Mark in a tea chest!! [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ali, just send Mark here to me !! [Www] Complete with guitars, of course, I could do with some seranading [:D] I'll send him back when you're settled in France [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 No problem!! He actually ended up doing all the dishes last night - told me to sit down & enjoy the footie - & then brought me in a coffee & bun. [:D]I'll PM you the rates, I thinking of charging, for hiring him out!! [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hey Pip, you're already taken![;-)] Send him this way please Ali [Www]Good luck to both of you, I really hope it goes smoothly & that you love it here. BTW, stop worrying![:-))]Good luck to Pads too![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
