Bike has arrived in the country. I haven’t got it yet, but at least it’s here somewhere. Now the shippers want $3000. It gets more every time I talk to someone about it.<\/p>\n
That’s on top of all the money I’ve already paid to get my other belongings here. $3000 is what I was quoted as being the total for both. It’s almost doubled.<\/p>\n
Now the bureaucracy starts.<\/p>\n
Don’t worry if you are just shipping over to the UK for a trip, it’s not as bad as it will be for me, I’m importing to re-register here.<\/p>\n
So money out and no more coming in.<\/p>\n
I was offered a job two weeks ago. I accepted. Now I’ve heard nothing about starting. I get no response to emails. No idea what’s happening there, but in the meantime I\u00a0haemorrhage\u00a0money.<\/p>\n
It’s about the time I’d have been coming back to renew my visa, so that’s one lot of paperwork I’ll be avoiding. I guess I’ll just have to console myself with whatever divorce papers Karen has decided I should receive. Bless!<\/p>\n
I hope I can afford to insure and run the bike when I finally get it!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
