NOMADS

Well D-day is approaching although we have not had a date to exchange contracts it cant be that far off maybe only a month , at most it could be six weeks.

I have seen my line manager and said i need a few weeks of  work so i can sort out somewhere to live and get our belongings in to  storage until we have a place to call home .

Hopefully Helen needs to sort out a provisional license and organize driving lessons and get her test passed and booked this would make life a lot easier for her and me i cant remember the last time i was a passenger in a car , when you drive it is amazing what you miss when you are concentrating on other cars drivers and roads.

I took some cardboard boxes last night i got six and will get another six tonight as i am working until two in the morning and have the car it is an ideal time .

I hope we never regret selling our home and hopefully maybe someday have enough money and time to buy another property but i have a feeling i will never have another mortgage attached to my name whether this is good or bad i am not sure , there is pluses and minuses on both accounts , my age would mean more than likely i be paying a mortgage until the day i die anyway so what is the difference paying rent , maybe we should have waited another ten years to sell up but time dictates are needs.

The scary part is being in no mans land being in a void of being homeless or rather nomadic i prefer the term nomadic or living off grid which wont be truly true but you get the picture.
I need a large well made strong canvas bag with compartments and sturdy  zips and carrying handles and shoulder straps , i also need a suitable wash bag and laptop bag , Helen will need the same , i my car i have a lockable compartment in the floor of the boot that could hold tablets , phones cameras and documents we need .who knows we might even need a couple of sleeping bags if we end up sleeping in the car a couple of nights , that be fun wont it.
