Well, we had a brilliant holiday in T'Egypt again this year, been to same place 4 years running now and it gets better each time, feels like home.

Things definately seem to have picked up over the last couple of weeks with new job, working for Elddis Transport from Consett, County Durham, but running out of the Worksop depot, tramping.
Paid a low basic wage but then money is made up by so much per KM traveled and then so much per drop/collection, so quite similar to how things are paid in Canada.
The new contract has started now so should see if the money's any good before Xmas, just got the holiday to enjoy first, might be the last chance to see the Red Sea for a while.
2 weeks of well earned rest and relaxation around the pool in Sharm el sheik and maybe a bit a scuba diving as well, can't wait! :)

Got confirmation from H&R on friday for my start date.......December 2010!
Not sure if thats good or bad?
Plenty of time to sort thngs out here before we go
Chance to do a couple of reccie's next year, preferably 1 in winter and another when its a bit warmer.

Starting to think i have dropped a major bollock leaving my last job..... not earning enough money in the new one to still be able to save the extra cash we'll need for Canada :(
So, spent all day re-writing my cv and looking for a job that pays a bit better here in the UK or maybe have reconsider the timing on when we will be going?

Been offered the job at H&R, got an email from their immigration lawyers last thursday. I've accepted the offer, to start next year sometime after march, will have a better idea of timing after Christmas.

ACPO report finally came back this week, took its time but "NO TRACE" so worth the wait :-)
