Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Windsong - I think you've made a good decision, too, to delay the return to the UK for a few weeks. You'll have peace of mind over the passport hitch, and a little more time to get used to the idea...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Jasper - It's been a tricky few months for you, hasn't it, with your dear mum not being too well (it's great to hear that she is getting better) and then you having the heart op, etc. I've read...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Jasper123 - Glad to hear that you've had the operation(s) and that you are on the mend. Take heed of what the docs said and take it easy. I hope the other two ailments clear up quickly for you,...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

I didn't know propeller planes are still around, either. That mechanism for the door is probably more reliable than some of the automated carousels! We had to wait for about two hours at...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Yes, it's very airy and pleasant. We flew into and out of Dublin last year, and it was all very easy. How was Blackpool airport?! I expect the flight was very quick, too. We've flown from...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

At least you will get something from your ex-employer. Very hard on you being put into the situation in which you find yourself now. Also I can imagine it must hurt that your relatives in the...
