I'm Off

Hiya Vicky

That sounds soooo tempting, a bit far to commute though!

Hiya Jenny

You're too kind, thanks

 

Good luck Freddy , hope all goes smoothly and we don't have to wait until next year to hear from you again

 

Thanks Bilbo

 

New builds can overrun, especially due to exceptionally adverse weather conditions, and there seems to be a lot of that about these days.

Check out if there's any residency requirement, and if so have a word whoever lets them and see if you can rent one on the strength of whatever arrangement you have to buy your new home.

If you have BT as your ISP, you'll have numerous free hotspots available (which is normally my first choice when out and about).

I previously used mobile broadband dongles, but now use two Mifis (one on Three) and another on OVIVO (which uses Vodafone network), the latter bought when on special offer @Tesco, also using a money off code and unlocked for 99p.

The cost of mobile broadband sims seems to have increased astronomically recently. I was buying 3gb 3 months sims from Amazon for about £8 each a while ago



They can however be purchased from ebay in 5 packs @ £14 each http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5x-THREE-..._Home_Phones_Sim_Cards_CV&hash=item2ec4dc99f0

 

I hope it all goes really well for you.
I had to spend some time in a mobile home with my animals once and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. An option with your tourer maybe?
We will, of course, want pics of your garden and allotment when it all rolls out.
Best of luck and good wishes.

 

Good wishes on your way freddy xx

 

Hiya folks, thanks for all the replies and well-wishes, very much appreciated
By the wonders of modern technology, herewith an image...

 

Good luck Freddy, see you in the spring.
You could try hibernation, you wont miss much.

 

It's obviously been looked after Freddy and it doesn't look as if your new home is overlooked either, that's a bonus!

 

Enjoy your new home and lovely new garden Freddy.

 

Good luck with the move Freddy especially after all the hard work you have put in to your current garden.

Twelve years ago we moved from a 60x29ft garden to a garden around the size of your new one and kept our 30pole allotment going in the village where we used to live as we have had the plots for 33 yearsEver since we got this garden and filled it full of plants we have said to each other we need a bigger garden because we keep seeing more plants that we would like to buy but don 't have the space for. We keep kidding ourselves that as we get older we wouldn't need a big garden,and are now considering moving when Mr Kandy retires to a nice little house/bungalow which would have a bigger garden so we can grow veggies and fruit trees in it so we can give up the allotment plots

Hope that everything goes smoothly for you and that you spend many happy years in your new home and that you get that allotment plot
