The Bowdin's Canadian Adventure........Has been "PUT ON HOLD" :(
This was going to be an online record for family and friends to follow of our trip to a new life in Canada. As most of you will know, we were looking at moving out to Canada for me to work as a long haul truck driver.
A Bit About Me.

Its not over, its just been delayed... for a while
Had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life this week. Contacted H&R earlier this week and told them that unfortunately I wont be able to make the trip to Lethbridge later this year.
My Mums condition has deteriorated over the last few weeks and after a lot of discussion with family and friends I feel I must stay here, where I am needed and try to help her and Dad as much as possible, so much so that I have found a job that gets me home most nights, so I can be around when needed.
Thanks to everyone who has been in touch with help and advice, it was appreciated.
To the people who have made the move,or are in the process of going over, I sincerely hope it works out for you all and I hope to be there at some point in the future if the opportunity arises again.
Good Bye and Good Luck to you all in whatever you choose to do.

Things starting to look up.......?
Time for a change :(
Things haven't improved much at work,I have 1 good week then 4 short ones, struggling to earn enough to get by on, let alone save for Canada, just not getting the miles or hours so i have decided its time to move on before it gets too late to make a difference.
Sent my C.V out to a few places that have been advertising and I've had an interview with one of them today.
I think it went well, i definitely got a good vibe from it. Should find out in a couple of weeks and IF i get it should be starting before the end of March.
Fingers crossed.

As a footnote, heard from the company i had my interview with and they are waiting to hear from their head office as to how many drivers they can take on this at this time, they have said thay will let me know as soon as they find out.
