Dot, is Brian having a good holiday yet? xxxx
Ncle George, that sounds like a very poor tradesman. We have a lovely caravan angel, who comes to our house and has always done a great job. Please save his name for next time...Business is called Caravan Wizard, his name is Chris Dyer, phone 0488-949-273. He was trained by a friend of ours who was the service manager at Jayco Newcastle and came with a great reference from our mate. He is reasonable with prices and has never let us down.
It really did feel like a return to Paradise when we arrived home today. Van is unpacked and still on the street. The rego papers were in the letterbox, so we had to get the pink slip arranged asap. It is getting done tomorrow, so that was a good phone call. The new van is too big for our bendy driveway and we knew that before the hunt was on for real. It will go down the steep hill, but not enough room to turn into the backyard. I am not unhappy about that, because we both hold our breath every time that he drives it down the drive. I had checked the prices of storage before we looked at the van and that is not great, but could have been worse. The guy has no immediate spaces, but always loses vans over Christmas when people tend to have their last big trip before selling their vans. I have put our names down for the next available space and will keep hoping for that to happen soon. Until then, the new van isn't coming for a few more weeks and before we know, it will be us heading off for our usual Christmas with the kids in the
new van.
The rego is due to be paid on the same day as we collect the replacement van. Even tho Watsons are a pretty big company, I will pay the rego so that we are not driving an unregistered van and because I refuse to be petty. Had a laugh at the rego number of the new one. The current one is TR--AK and we have never given our vans a name. New one is TR**QM, we reckon she has to be Queen Mary (of Denmark of course)
