Sally- lovely to read your updates. You must be thrilled to finally be back in the UK and I see that you've have even managed to visit London <sobs>.

Good luck with the house hunting and enjoy all your lovely free time now that your children are at University.

Sally, must have missed something at some point as I thought you were going to Exeter Delighted that things are working out so well for you

Sally Redux

Exeter was on the cards at one time but OH decided on the 'devil he knew'.

Thanks to you and Hartley for the good wishes

So glad for you and great to hear how happy you are! I will follow with interest especially about the mortgage part. I'm turning 50 in December (my wife is younger though) but still after another three years wait for residency, it seems like we might have a mortgage term issue if they won't allow a term past retirement age for me. We're now moving back in January (yippee!) due to my wife's transfer being needed sooner. We'll be down in Falmouth, Cornwall and she'll be commuting up to London for a few days a month here and there and working from home for the rest of the time. We want to buy sooner than later and were hoping to do that within a year or so but I don't know now if that will be a possibility.

All the best to you, Sally!

Thanks MrMuffin, and good luck with your own plans!

I will report back on the mortgage. It has gone quiet from the broker

I nearly took offence, until I read past the full stop.

Glad things are going well matey.

You made it bearable

Thanks babes.

N1cky

Stop it now. We're beginning to sound like those Facebook posts you hate so much.

I do miss you though

Sally Redux

Me too <- I'm the one that falls over first.

N1cky

But continues drinking, even when you're on your back.

Sally Redux

Can't waste it.

N1cky

You'd have been mortified the other day, I sent a glass of wine back. Well actually, I had a drink and pulled a face and the server saw me. He quickly whisked it away and brought me something much nicer

Sally Redux

I unintentionally groped a waiter the other night, poor bloke was squeezing between the chairs while I had my hand there getting something out of my bag.

N1cky

Accidental? Right

Did you sneak a photo of him for your collection too?
