treebloke Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Having a re-think at the moment about what we are bringing or how we are getting there. Been to tax the new lorry today and the miserable gits will not do it until two days before the begining of the next month, bearing in mind that is next wednesday and there are only another three working days between now and then. Is this government tight or what. We were planning to put one on the lorry and trailer the other which meant me and Dawn could travel down in a third vehicle. We have some time off next week so me and Dawn were gonna stay down for a few days. I am going to stand in the yard now and scratch my head to see if I can come up with a plan.

treebloke Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Still scratching? Just come in to get the magnifying glass and a needle. Back to plan A, nearly. We are bringing one of the other lorries (7.5 tonne) and trailer so just need some where to park it for fri night and saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well just been down to the site and its a little wet in the fields to say the least! i even did a little tree clearing for the marshalls so they dont scratch there vehicles on the way down to the site! So whats going to be the going rate to recover a marshall/organiser when they get stuck down the bottom end of the fields then. £10 says Matt has some interesting driving on his well worn Colways!

honitonhobbit Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 To busy this weekend - taking smallist child to see my Dad for the first time. He is back in Chaemo next week with pretty cr*p odds on making it through. Haven't seen The Wife or The Girls all this week as her Dad had his hip op on Monday and she has been with the MiL. The let him home today! He is 80 with a dodgy ticker - talk about tough! Saw Oberst Von Trembath tonight howling up the M5 as I was wending my way home in post 70 hour week fog. What it must be to be a man of leisure! I shall be at the next bash if all is well with the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 James Cheers for a great day. Only damage was a couple of broken rear lights, bent rollcage, bent rear crossmember, smelly clutch, dented doors. But apart from that all is well.
