Another step closer to getting on that plane. I discovered that once the funds from the house sale are in the bank account, I can walk into any branch of my bank and ask them to transfer £25,000 to Deb's (our) Canadian bank account, and it'll cost £35 to have it leave the UK the following day. So assuming the funds are there on the Thursday, I can get them transferred out on the Friday. As long as the Canadian bank is as up to speed as the one here, the money will be ready in Canada on the Monday. Deb says banking here is slower than in Canada, so this'll be a small test :-)
It snowed here. One minute it was breezy and cold, and the next it had started snowing. Within a couple of minutes there were flurries, and inch of snow, and I suspect that the UK is trying to tell me "Look, we can give you snow here too, y'know". Anyway, here's a snap I made from the front door:
I cancelled the TV licence, and council tax too today, and counted/valued the CDs, videos and DVDs. On Friday I'll have to do the books and so on, so that on Sunday/Monday we can post the item list to the movers for insurance costings.
Can't do the books tomorrow, as first thing I have a dentist appointment, in the afternoon I will be looking round the British Museum and general Oxford Street shopping, and in the evening a meal out with ex-work mates.
Stuff moves out a week on Monday!
