Default The Joy of moving back to a small town

Don't you just love small towns for rumours and gossip Apparently my husband and I are separated I ran in to a girl I know on the Main Street and mentioned something about my OH and she looked surprised and said "oh I thought you had split up". I guess this is what people think when you move home after 8 years in Canada, with 2 small kids and no husband in sight. I think when he gets home on Thursday (after 2 month away working) we'll have to skip along the main street hand in hand Either that or start a more interesting rumour and see how long it takes to spread.

The other day, I bumped into someone I used to work with. She said 'Oh... I thought you were dead.'

I live in a small town, incidentally...

It's such a change after living in Toronto for so long it takes a bit of getting used to. One of the other odd thing was running into ex-boyfriend's at my son's school

I love nothing better than winding up gossips.

If i were you'd i'd find a male friend or relative and stroll down the road holding their hand and pinch his bum when you see one you know
