In them days they had to do Checks and the money had to go through etc etc, So the next day I took Nathan with me , to go & get the Van, I cant Remember how we got there, but I can Remember getting the Keys and Starting it up for the First Time, it did not start at First!
Anyway the Auction Place was a Few Miles away and we came back on the Inner-Ring Road in Norwich, cant really remember the Journey back, but what I can remember is, we got about 2 Minutes from Home, and the Van Just stopped!
All of this took a little While, so when we Finally got Home that Day, Susan had been Worrying where we were had been for about 3 Hours!
What an Eventful day that had been!
We spent the rest of Easter getting the Van Cleaned and ready for the start of my New Business!
I was going to do whatever I could to make it Work, so I was looking in to what Areas I could Sell around, including where we were now Living!
