Hi Coffe pot - hope the activity morning is fun fun fun!!

www.mikafanclub.com

unofficial fan club for Mika - the chap that sings Grace Kelly, Love Today etc.c.

Got into his music nov 06 and sort of stumbled on fan club site - we have an Oldlings thread for the over 30's!! most of us are actually over 40 - we just sort of pop in and chat in there - much like here really!!

But I have met loads of people from round the world and whenever we go away some where there is usually some on to meet for coffee whilst hubby is working!!

Also have been to quite a few gigis - one in Glasgow had 30 oldies from all over - states, canada, Italy, Spain! I felt quite sane just coming from London " !

Pop in on a friday night - it gets quite raucous!

Yes, this site is extremely addictive! I'm on here everyday because it gives me a boost when I hear of people who have landed or had requests for passports etc. I am in limbo at the minute. 18 months into out PR wait and frantically looking for jobs to speed up the process. We are desperate to get out there!!!!

your kids will grow up healthy anyway if you are eating there eggs and giving them beans on toast :rofl: house work gets neglected but the mice are happy ;) and hubby wears the same shirt for a month and goes comando but hey how much can you reach from your keyboard :p

we have one of those that is up at 6 especially during the holidays :confused:
We are off to the village hall for an activity morning, ( wonder if they have wifi there ) :D

have fun and try not to eat all there easter eggs :wub:

Think I'll have to join the Exfats club at this rate!!! Well if I'm honest that should have been the first thread I joined.

How long can a slim woman live in a fat ladies body????

I have started looking at each choc bar with the thought of, " Is it you who is going to give me type 2 diabetes?? They keep answering, "Not me!!" And I believe them!!

Anyway, off to the shops to do my weekly shopping, so I’ll count that as exercise for the day. May just sneak into the café for a cuppa and cake, got to make the most of hubs half day from work!! Hee, hee. It's his turn to have some of that glorious quality time with the kids!!

Thanks for keeping it all in perspective for me! X

Oh it will happen Neeki.
Getting is a job offer does seem the quickest way and with perseverance you'll manage it.
What job area are you looking in??

I must be honest though, my hub is getting a little crabby with me for spending so much time on internet! Hay ho! I must remember to get him a few treats when I go to Tesco!

We are heading to Vancouver - probably this summer -all a bit quick really - we went to Toronto last sept for hubby to talk at a conference and really liked it - had been considering moving to the country side in Uk - but thought a complete change of lifestyle would be better.

Started looking at Ontario etc and CIC - realised it would take a while - then other half got offered chance to set up the Canada / North Amercia arm of one of the transpot consultants that he uses!

They knew we were looking to move and they have work with Vancouver Govnt but no offices there!!

So all my planning anad looking into schools and resi areas in Toronto went down the pan as they want to locate to Vancouver - plus they want the office up and running by JUNE!!!!!!
