Emigration Fair report.

OK, I've been slightly remiss in not updating sooner.

Mrs. Smidsy's passport arrived this week after she had her passport interview. I have posted off the last piece of proof for SmidsyJnr's passport so we are now just waiting for that.

The fair was useful in that it gave me some contacts, espeically with banks and financial institutions in NZ. I was also able to get a rough price of getting a 20' container of my household goods shipped to NZ. (£3500) Given the cost of some of the furniture in the house vs the cost of sending several small boxes (£1,000) and buying all new furniture over there, it makes sense to hire the container.

Costs this week £3 to park at The Royal Highland Show, entry to the show and the demonstrations £13. Petrol, £15. Stamp 37p. Mrs Smidsy's train fare into Glasgow £1.40 Total £32.77

Total costs = £283.97+£32.77= £316.74
