I will never say never, so if things change then we may give it a try, or carry on dreaming

I'm sure you will all laugh at me, but I need some kind of purpose in life and a reason to get up in the morning. The novelty of travelling through lovely countryside and all that would go because I could just do it anytime. Perhaps I just need an anchor. I think the 6 weeks we plan in May, will be long enough but who knows, I may like it so much I will stay out longer. Can I just ask the fulltimers what they do all day?

How true.....and quite pathetically sad when you consider you have given a lifetime in taxation, conformity, loyalty and kept your nose clean, only to find yourself still shackled to this country.As was mentioned in the first message, having an adress is essential when you go fulltiming. My pension was stopped because my mail adress stopped (you can only have it for 6 months and a 6 months extension, after which the authorities just pull the plug). I was in Spain at the time and fortunatly I had savings which sustained me until I got back and sorted it out. One has to plead with familiy and friends to get a new mail adress every 6 months, its terrible!!! I started this fulltiming to be free after a life of work and commitments, but it seems the government wants a deathgrip on you till you die.Apart from that, I just love the life! Recommend it!!!!!!
I ain't laughing. Here are my thoughts from our experience: http://pjlnphillips.wordpress.com/2010/01/23/at-last-i-understand/I'm sure you will all laugh at me, but I need some kind of purpose in life and a reason to get up in the morning.
Funny you should ask that! See http://pjlnphillips.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/what-do-we-do-all-day/Can I just ask the fulltimers what they do all day?
as said before .you need an address for driving lic ,log book .and lots more. it aint easy being of no fixed abode.
No fixed abode or without fixed abode is a legal term generally applied to those who do not have a fixed geographical location as their residence. This is applicable to several groups:
People who have a home, but which is not always in the same place:
Those whose occupation requires them to live permanently on boats, ships or movable oil platforms, or to travel constantly (as showmen, for example).
Nomadic peoples (Indigenous Norwegian Travellers) and Romnichal and traveller groups (Irish Travellers, Scottish Travellers, New Age travellers, Norwegian and Swedish Travellers); as well as individuals who adopt a mobile lifestyle, living in narrowboats, recreational vehicles or the like.
In the United Kingdom "no fixed abode" is a valid residential address. The law states:
If a person has no fixed abode he shall be treated as having his sole or main residence in the place where he is at any particular time.
—Local Government Finance Act 1988[1]
A person may wish to provide a temporary forwarding address to ease contacting them, or the locating of their where-abouts can be left as an exercise to the sender.
I disagree Jim. In the UK the authorities require an address they can contact you at or via, you do not have to actually live there.
In answer to your point on the passport a friend has just renewed his using a contact address, not the one he lives at which is in Spain.

The joys I have full timing just keep piling up, one of top of the other, higher and higher into one huge, high, joy filled thingy... :thumb:
JJ :Cool:
Each to their own, personally just the thought of living in a motorhome full time with one other person would bore me rigid.:shout:
I will settle for a nice house, nice car, camper and the occasional flight to somewhere new. Now that is what you call freedom.:Cool:
I could think of 100 reasons why it would drive me crazy.
What is the fascination.![]()
