My latest mad scheme

On the plus side it would be good for the kids - ages 7, 5 & 3, so they'd pick up the language easily I would've thought.

Probably the least thing to worry about - 3 kids that age are remarkably adaptable, to language, food, culture, the lot.

My cousin offered me a cheap deal on her Transit camper. Should be warmer/securer, but also a lot unroomier!

I'm still chasing the job. It's gone a bit quiet, as these things are wont to do.

where are you working at LHR (what do you do there) i work in T4 (IT projects) there may be some more work in LHR with T2A

go ex pat. as long as your not caught being in the country for more than 90 days you'll not pay tax. also you can declare minimum earnings and claim max child and working tax credits. contractors do it all the time. i can't remember the exact details but an experienced accountant will know.

 

[3narf]

I'd be interested to know more about that!

Thx

I work in aero maintenance; specifically a boil on its bum called 'inflight entertainment maintenance.' I have loads of mainstream (engine/airframe) maintenance experience but I've been doing IFE for 8 years, which apparently to an employer is like having 8 years experience of being on the sex offender's register.

i can't remember exactly how it worked now, it was quite a while ago (+10 years iirc) that i did it, it's all above board and legal. last management course i was on a few years back some oil platform lads were on the course and they were still doing it then.

Paris ? CDG or Orly ?
if the former, lot of nice countryside to the north & west of there that imagine cycling in would be fine. South of CDG you are getting closer to Paris and so drivers prolly less patient.

 

[3narf]

It's CDG...

Frantically applying for jobs, less than 3 weeks to go.

I had an interview on Friday, got one for the CDG job next Weds.

Other options are Saudi Arabia and Lagos (big money).
