Further developments to report!
Firstly, and most excitingly we seem to have tenants! There is still paperwork to be completed and final dates, signatures and checks to be done but it is all in hand.
This means today I am off to hand my notice in at work. They already know and have done for months about the plan and I had a provisional leaving date in the diary ages ago but I need to go and confirm it. A will wait until next week as he has a little annual leave to use up anyway which means he shouldn't need to work his full notice so we'll wait for everything to be fully finalised before he takes his letter in to work.
This gives us about 3 weeks left in our house to box everything up, clear out the last few things which need listing on ebay, taking to the tip or giving away on freecycle.
I've given notice to Sky tv, have lists of places to give notice to once we have a firm date, lists of people we need to try and cram a get together with before we go and a Bye Then party to plan with a large group of friends.
We need to sort out internet access for the van, a solar panel for the roof, waterproofs, thermals and decent work boots. I need to order in a years supply of contact lenses, decide whether a kindle is a worthy investment ;) and confirm dates with the hosts we've already booked and send out the first email enquiry to the zone three hosts on our shortlist.
Let the countdown to craziness commence!
I have dongles from vodaphone, O2 and 3. (don't ask - essential business buys in places where one wouldn't work) 3 has by far the better coverage IME - I bought it last, but have rarely been in places where it didn't work. Although Jax likes MiFi.
