Yeah :sad: pretty much 8 years, even though we’re not together he’s still like my best friend :bawling:

:love:

This is the beginning of the rest of your life! /RuPaul

...I think that you both moving forward to another stage of your lives will help you to stay best friends into your futures...:hug:...

:hug:

Maybe your boat will crash and you'll end up shipwrecked on an island with gorgeous people?

Best of luck Smithy :love:

Have a good move.

Make sure to flip Farage off if you see him on your journey

....that was always going to happen though...shipwrecked in Manchester with Annie and Lucas was his destination...

Made it home fine :hee:

First time driving on the motorway was terrifying but I survived!

..:laugh:...big roads, you’ll adapt perfectly fine...surviving is a good foundation to start...and hello, welcome to our country, you’re going to fit in just perfectly...:love:...

Welcome home!

Welcome home....:love:

Smithy simplified move route:

Guernsey -> Manchester, England, UK

Smithy's simplified move route:

Guernsey -> Manchester, England, UK

I’m in Lancaster

Welcome back to this ****hole country :love:

...do you have any apartments booked to look at this week, Smithy..?...

Sincere best wishes loov. Be happy. Xx

Not yet, I need to call the agent later today

I’ve spent most of the morning trying to work out how to sort out all the bloody import documentation for my car :fist:

Have to tell HMRC, potentially pay any VAT due :fist:, then get a certificate to say it’s legal in the UK THEN an MOT and THEN finally register it

If your parents are happy to keep you for a while, maybe don't rush into anything, think about you options especially if you have a lot of savings and could potentially buy a place once you have a job, but then maybe you need to move to Manchester to get a job, I don't know just thinking out loud :laugh:

Yeah I’ve just called up about one flat and they said are you in full time employment and I said no but I’ve spoken to other letting agents and they were happy to provide a six month lease paid upfront prior to a review and they said they wouldn’t do that :fist:

Not wishing to sound like your Ma, but just be careful with the all rent up front thing, you have no comeback if anything goes wrong with the flat, for instance if the boiler breaks down and you have no hot water/heating the landlord has his/her cash so can take their sweet time getting a plumber round as you cant withhold rent until its fixed

Where are the pictures?
