Baldrick Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Hi, I would like to announce I am arranging another meet up in Exeter on Sunday 15th June from 1pm onwards. the location is: KMJ Restorations Swallow Units, Alphinbrook Road Marsh Barton Ind Est Exeter, EX2 8QF. Apologies if this seems to be a long way off but I have tried to avoid clashing with other events/ shows. Again we will have teas & coffees available during the day. We had over 55 cars there in Feb, see pics (and it rained most of the day aswell) http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=66554 see you soon regards. Shaun

escortmad79 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Probably won't be at this one after all as I'll be living 500 miles away by then
capriaddict Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 i'll most likely be there to Probably won't be at this one after all as I'll be living 500 miles away by then Does that mean your moving to scotland instead of michelle moving down here?
sab6024 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 Probably won't be at this one after all as I'll be living 500 miles away by then I didn't know you was moving up there....I'm all confused
escortmad79 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 We've had a complete change of plans, last week was spent looking around houses, by Thursday afternoon we had found a rather nice 2 bedroom house in Torquay, following a meal with my Mum & Dad on Thursday evening we were brought down to earth with a crashing thud when she told us how much it would cost us (c£1200 a month with bills, food & petrol). Michelle went home on Saturday & started looking into houses up there & they're so much cheaper up there! (Small 2 bedroom pokey new build down here with street parking £625pcm, up there a 3 bedroom house with garage & driveway £450pcm) I've been struggling to find a job down here since last November when I was laid off AGAIN! Michelle would struggle to find a graduate science job down here too Up there Michelle has been headhunted by an agency for a science job & she has also managed to find me 5 jobs The cost of living up there is a lot cheaper, cheaper food, cheaper fuel prices, cheaper rent for houses. Jobs are plentiful & one job Michelle has found me is a 2 year mature apprenticeship where I could get a joiners trade (Ideal for escaping to New Zealand in the future ) I can also take my HGV up there for half the price it costs down here, plus could qualify for a £200 ILA subsiduary to aid with training. CPC training to drive plant is also a hell of a lot cheaper up there too (Up to half the price it is elsewhere in the Country!) Plus there is free education up there & prescriptions are cheaper too. It won't be forever, just until we are financially secure & trained & able to move back down & afford to live
NHR115 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 I was gonna reply to you all but Neil beat me to it Its just going to work out better for us this way but I still want to move down to sunny Torquay at some point in the future. We'll come down and visit when the Route 38 meet is on
