Hi there,

We won't miss people saying "but I thought you guys were going to OZ", every time we do something!

We are going but that doesn't mean life at the moment has to go on hold.

Won't miss the local Council closing the swimming baths, the gymnastics club and the local ballroom for cost saving measures and then reading a quote in the local newspaper that they already provide "too many amenities" - gotta get me out of here!!!!

We won't miss our cramped, old, overlooked 3 bed semi (slight joke there as my daughters bedroom is so small you can not fit a regular size single bed in). We also won't miss the filth and grime eg dog shit everywhere, yesterday a puddle of vomit in our road, on trip to the local swimming pool urine and loo paper all over the floor of the very smelly loos and a dirty nappy wedged behind a heating pipe in the family changing room!
Need i say more?

Joanne,

We are heading to Christchurch NZ leaving behind shitty Kidderminster, you?
Also won't miss the fact that my kids primary school has got no playing fields because they sold them to build houses on. They have got a small playground though but with no climbing frames because they get vandalised!

I won't miss everybody at work saying 'G'Day Cobber' in a very poor Australian accent, and laughing, as though they are sooooooooooo original!

Also won't miss people saying 'But won't your mom be upset?' - of course she'll be ******* upset, but we're doing it for our kids.
