I'm still off work sick since last August and have been having a right battle with Lancashire County Council trying to get back to to work but not in residential childcare. I've now given up and am handing my notice in on Monday as they've stopped paying me and I'm now only on sick pay. This time off has, however, given me time to do the house up and get it up for sale. We've only had one viewing in 3 weeks but they put an offer in £500 below asking price which we've accepted. There's only 3 of us in the chain so hopefully all should go through in 2-3 months and then we're off to Hungary for good, in time for the Hungarian bike week.
I've been looking round for a 4x4 to get us up and down the track to our mountain house but all the decent older ones seem to return pretty poor mpg so I've just bought a 1996 1.7 petrol Lada Niva. Parts sre for nothing and the Hungarians ought to know how to repair it should it ever need work doing.
I'll be sorting out mobile internet and another bike when we get over there so should show my face on here a bit more, maybe even see some of you should anyone travel to Hungary. We'll have room to put people up and it would be good to speak to someone in English.
In the meantime I've got to get my impending wedding out of the way in April.
Catch you later.
Paul.
