Hi,

Just to let those who live in the Petersfield area know, we had our docs all certified at MacDonald Oates solicitors earlier this week for the princely sum of £20. Seemed like a bargain to me!

What- you are leaving Petersfield, in the middle of the lovely Downs, Churchers and Bedale schools and hardly an hour from one of the greatest urban centres in the world, London. Am I talking about the same Petersfield?
Where are you going to that is better?

Hardly an hour from London? Sure, if you don't count getting to the train station, the train runs on time, you catch a fast train and want to hang out at Waterloo. However I work in the city and spend about 3 3/4 hours commmuting each day, which means I leave the house before my son wakes up and - if I'm very lucky - I get home in time to give him a bottle and put him into bed - a total of about 10 minutes.

Beadles? If you can afford it, and your child wants to pursue a career in the arts, that's great. Churchers? Again, if you can afford it and are willing to pay big fees for what is a rather mediocre education.

This would also be the same Petersfield where I've had to call the police three times in the last 9 months to get them to come and break up fights between local youths (the last time, a group of 10 or so kicked a kid until he was unconscious, he spent over a week in intensive care).

Don't get me wrong, I love Petersfield and it is going to be hard to leave but
unless someone can transplant a job in my field to the local-ish area, increase the business opportunities for my husband (self employed) and get a school with a cracking Ofsted report with reasonable fees, then I think we will be better off. Just my opinion
