I personnaly think that the combination of everyone sharing thier experiences is what makes the site, and certainly gives everyone a good understanding of a multitude of issues that me may face when settling regardless of where we come from.
so what is my point for all this waffle (apart from something to do between checking e-client that is). -- maybe that should be my question - what is the point of this waffle - lol.
seriously - I just thought it would be good for people to say where they moved from or are moving from so we can all get an idea of the geographical spread of knowledge we are using, and also I would be interested if people from other countries know of similar sites, aimed at their country,that readers may also be interested in looking at.
Of course if no-one is interested in this thread it does at least give me one more post towards my next star. (Be warned the final stages may have a sever impact on your mental stability. You may find that you do anything anywhere to advance to the next stage of almost anything - except e-client that is)

Hi lizwil98
I spent quite a few summers in Compton Dando as a child, both my aunts were married at the local church & lived at the bottom of Fairy Hill!!
I took my kids to the bluebell woods just before we left Bristol in September, its a lovely part of the world.

I have lived in Hertford - Compton Dando, Somerset - Bournemouth - Purley, Surrey - Earl's Court - Kew - Purley - and Regina, Saskatchewan.
We have been here since 1968!!
And I still miss "home" - at least now I am older I miss home - when my kids were young I was too busy to miss home I think!
