So many forms...

last night I was on the immigration site and wanted to print and fill out some forms,did this until the ink ran out in the printer but still had lots to print....and I hate dragging things out over a few days!

So this evening I printed the remainder and filled a huge amount of them out and nearly blew up my own brain...

Tomorrows emigration related tasks include:
Finding cost of car insurance
Finding list of jobs for him
Finding list of jobs for me
Discovering fuel costs
Looking at places to live
Trying to make head/tail of the driving licence system

Full steam ahead...

decision time

so after toying with the idea of staying here {yes we are v indecisive!} we have definitly decided its canada for us, alberta or saskatchewan to be exact,i thought toronto was too built up for him {& possibly me} plus his work wasnt as plentiful as anticipated,saskatchewan however is another story...

the beginning of a new chapter...


we sat down the other night & figured out rent & taxes & other expenditures and found its nothing like it is in ireland, particularly the lack of a 42% tax bracket

so hopefully at the end of may we'll be leaving on a jet plane & we're going to do our absolute best to make that happen
