After 16 years of serving the interests of humanity as a volunteer worker in Germany and Botswana, it was now time for me to take my pregnant wife back home to the UK.
Having lived frugally on a minimum allowance for so many years, we knew what lay ahead would be a challenge, but the change to parenthood and self financing appeared exciting in the approaching horizon as we left behind a life never to be lived again.
My father in law owned a small cottage in Moffat, Scotland, not far from the English border town of Carlisle. We took up residency in this tourist town, not fully understanding the difficulties of finding employment in a rural area. When setting up house afresh after being abroad, necessary things like washing machines etc have to be purchased. We had little funds due to our previous lifestyle so we were hoping to obtain 0% store credit - then we received our 1st surprise!
