YEP!!!!!!

OH has been offered a job starting in about 3 weeks. They want him to start now, but we need more time in the UK to sort out a few more things.
Found a left hand drive car and hopefully can put a deposit on it tomorrow as we're catching the afternoon ferry back to Cheshire.
Got a freezer delivered today so we can store all the stuff off the lottie.
Hope to travel between the two places as before, but the otherway round.

Exciting eh????
