Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
I know those of us going through 24 straight days over 100F think you are crazy! Seriously, Belfast has been described as a grey city with grey people.....most likely due lack of sunhine. Having done (just like Barb) the zigzagging several times.....when I was much more financially stable.....I almost like the fact I will have to stay and learn to love it. I am stubborn, spoilt and now for the first time in my life I will have to be responsible for me. A doctor's wife and then a lawyer's wife and now there will only be me and no one's wife. I think at 67 it will force me to grow up......still pretty scary....
Sorry CS my reply seems to have included your comments. Mine is the last sentence. Just when I thought i was getting better with technology!

we will be able to next summer, and then I won't be whinging

I'm sorry dear friends but I've just found out that someone has been logging on to BE to check my comments. As you can imagine I feel very upset so for now I will just be reading until I can take time to change my details. I suppose this is just a sign of the times - and a sign we need to be cautious about our privacy. Thank you once again for all your kind words. I will be in touch.

Although my husband and I have no secrets...and he knows I belong to this expats list.... he has no problem with that. He would NEVER think of checking.... We may have a troubled marriage but he has accepted the fact I am leaving.....sadly our issues are not at all about love.....if they were......they would be solvable.
