Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Many of them were Eastenders, pretty tough and resourceful. And you're right, most of them didn't have a clue what they were getting into. But once they were here, that was it, you had to make a go...

I didn't say they were a problem. Your pets pop up often as a hindrance to getting home.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Dear Windsong,

I think your pets are getting in the way of your dreams and holding you back somewhat. Is there anyway you could rehome them and therefore more realistically find a place to live...

My mother is from there also. I seem to remember the countryside outside Aidrie being very beautiful from my visits as a child.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Lovely to hear you're more settled Charley, I had wondered how you were getting on. I'm glad you managed to scale back on work...I know how challenging working with young children can be energy-wise.
