My eldest dog wouldn't be allowed to fly due to blood problem and today we have watched him having another small stroke, his face lob sided again but you pick his ball up or a carrot and he's fine! The youngest dog (7) has gone to my best mates. My husband got accepted for his job in oct, we put the house up a week later thinking it would take a couple of months for an offer and then some till the exchange but it was gone the day after the board went up and we were back into renting again by dec 7th!

nice to see a few old faces lol

and a few new ones.

everyone welcome, this is not a clicky club, its for people to make new friends. Its for support and information

im leaving all my friends here, and my life.

The only comfort for me is that there is a network of other people in the same boat and thank god mostly all decent northerners. The more people you have to call on in a foreign country the less you will feel homesick. Well i think thats the case for me.

As said, there more the merrier and we will toast daunted as the founder member of the Lancashire meet.

Kids more than welcome. The last 2 were bars and no kids. This time its in a quiet boozer in the middle of a retail park on a saturday afternoon nso should be qiuietish, no bouncers and eassy to get to and park.

see you all soon, ill contact mrs jfw and angela marie and a few other to see if they can make\ it
