At long last I am finished working and living up here at Inverness.

Can't begin to tell you how I feel. Happy

but funny that I am leaving the company I have only ever worked for just short of 27 years.

It has been a long six months I was supposed to be up here for
but 6 years later almost 7 I am going home.

The last month has been up and down to say the least making plans then having to cancel them :( can't be helped that Allans mum took a tumble a broke her back still in hospital but on the mend I would say.

TBH I really have no idea what I want to do was offered a job this week but oh I don't know think I need to take time out and enjoy my Minis. Was just sitting thinking

Over the past 6 years we have travelled and this is a conservative figure some 100,200 miles just on the A9 and that is just using the 1 car more often than not we were in two. In the past 8 months we have travelled over 36,000 miles just on the A9.

Baised of two cars over six years
that works out about 3340 gallons per car or 15,184 litres at a average of say 91ppl works out about £13,817 x 2 cars = £27,634 just travelling the A9 all conservative figures as we usually use ultimate.:eek::eek::eek:

[ianking]

I wish you had said you were selling it before I ordered mine, I would have bought it.

[Big Gordy]

If you don't sell it give me a shout Fi as I stay in Larbert (is that where its being kept..??) and could give it a run once a week to my work if you want :cool: :p:D:approve:

Who , who :question::question::question:;):p

[Craig]

I could keep it at my work...;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

Fi, I was thinking about your impending lack of Internet access, and I was wondering if it would be worth your while going for one of these Laptop 3G Mobile phone card thingys. It is basically a PCMCIA card that slots into your laptop and allows you to surf at 3G (broadband) speeds on a mobile phone account - but with a decent bulk megabyte purchase it shouldn't be too expensive.:D

It's one way to stay connected.:approve:

A.:D

[Craig]

I have used the vodafone connect cards at my work. A breeze to install and if there is no 3G coverage, GPRS still works, so you are not left with no service....(albeit slightly slower )

not the cheapest to use, but well worth it if you don't want to be without internet access

:approve::approve::approve::approve::approve:

[Scottie]

so where would I buy one of these cards things

[Craig]

from a vodafone shop or from their website... can't remember the prices... sorry..:I:D

here's a wee link....

[AndyP & Lenore]

And there's the Orange version....

A.;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

Something to bear in mind Fi is that these cards also work abroad so you'll still get internet access while roaming. It is more expensive abraod, but worthwhile for checking emails and so on.

A.:approve:

[Scottie]

well thanks to my work they kept us online right up to the last. the only reason I will not be online after Thursday is because we have to literally take a hammer to our base units and break them up:eek::eek::eek:

my laptop has to go b though:(

Oh and good old BT still have not cancelled my broadband at home in Inverness.

Funny how when I asked to cancel the 30 odd lines at work wef 31.03.07 they cancelled them the next day BT total plonkers honestly.
