Hi everyone
I'm Paul from Essex and have long been thinking of moving abroad. This forum looks like a great place to find out your views and advice on moving to different countries.

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum

I see you're finding your way around the forum so will leave you to it. If you get stuck on anything, just ask, won't you. As you've already discovered, there's tons of info on here, and plenty of folks to help you out in whatever section you delve into.

Whereabouts in Essex are you living? I lived in South Woodham Ferrers for about 18 years. Have not been back there for donkeys years. Probably wouldn't recognize it now I suppose.

Thanks
I live in Ilford Essex and have done for the last 16 years. I don't want to spend the rest of my life here, I need a new chapter in my life. I see you are in malaysia. Big change from the UK . I'm currently looking at Aus and Canada.

bakedbean

Yes, Malaysia is definitely different to UK

Ah well, hope you find somewhere good to go to. If you haven't already done so, do check out the Aus and Canada forums on here, and join in with some threads or post your own questions. Most folks are helpful on here.

lark

will do, thanks

Hi, and welcome to BE.

You might want to re-read site rule 11 and contact admin (Sue) re: a username change.

Good luck with it, maybe see you in the Canada forums sometime.

lark

sorry I confess I never read them. I will try to get it changed.

Alfresco

Just PM Sue and it will be done.

lark

Thanks but I don't know how to do that. I did send a message through the contact us page though.

Sue

I haven't got that, sometimes there is a blip and they don't get through.

If you PM me and let me know what I can change it to I'll go ahead and do the necessary.

Thanks for understanding.
