Re: Seven Months
God, how I wish I'd become a ballet dancer instead of a bloody librarian. Mind you, I suspect if I had, my arthritis and knee problems etc. would be even worse.

Re: Seven Months
Great update! So glad to hear it's going well. We've been back nearly a month and are very happy. Do not miss LA. I think we were completely ready to leave LA this time whereas last time my husband didn't really want to leave.
All the best!

Re: Seven Months
After all those years of wanting to move back, I'm really pleased it's working out and you're happy.

Re: Seven Months
Great update Sally. I agree with your comments on the general negativity from people. When we left the UK just over 2 years ago, I can't say that Chavs etc formed any part of my life. And I don't believe it's changed that much since then. Where you live plays a big part in this!
We just completed on our house and are staying in short term holiday accomodation before we fly out. We have managed to secure a rental home and our container is waiting at the port to be loaded.
We are getting there, not too long now!

I don't think 'chav' is even a thing any more. My husband's family live on a Gatehead council estate; a lot of the women just seem to have a 'Croydon facelift' hairdo, but it's all quite liveable. Young people in general I find to be very polite.
I have a friend back in this area who can only be described as very comfortably off, lives in a big house in a tiny village and her chances of seeing a chav or a hijab are a million to one, doesn't stop her muttering about "The way the country's going"
