After a long search, I got in touch with the Head Priest in charge of this circus and I was told in no uncertain terms that the investigation into my divorce would go on for months. And also it would be kind of expensive, but very diplomatically he called it a "donation".... I don't dare mention the ball-park figure he came out with, as other members here, might think that I am talking out of my.
To get over this hurdle, we decided on a civil ceremony instead... Less hassle... Eventually in future, we will have a church ceremony, with all the trimmings. But for now we are happy with the civil.
I will be leaving on saturday 3rd, 10 am from Manchester. ETA is 1.45 pm sunday. I just don't feel like working the next couple of days.... But I guess my bank manager will have a different opinion on the matter...
