It is Pauline, I'm not sure why, my guess is nobody is asking for help and nobody is going home...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

It is quiet all over BE these days.
I wonder if we haven't gone out of fashion a bit what with Flopbook, Twitter and the like.

Still. I suppose we are cosy.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

I'm around and we are heading home late May...just not got too far with organising it yet :blink:

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

Lucky you thats all I can say...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

Twitter has been around for a while, I consider it much different to BE as they are people that know each other, whereas here on BE everyone is anonymous.

I'm not a member of Facebook or Twitter and have no desire to join, Ive never even heard of flopbook.

Thats how I see it.

We are finally making plans to return this year! :britflag: We have a house and a business to sell. Fortunately no mortgage on the house, and it's in an area that generally sells fast. Lucked out on the business too - we are a service business and if someone doesn't want to take it as a whole, we can sell off the accounts to our competitors. We will sell up by the summer and spend a month with our daughter before heading over. I can't believe we are finally at this point! Now I just have to get cracking on the sorting, selling and packing up. Good thing we are minimalists and not hoarders! Hope everyone has started the year off with a bang :lol: More news from you all please!

Perth that is good news! Do you have property in UK?

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

Nope. Wish we did. We will be starting over - renting, at least at first - until we decide on a permanent location.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

Wise move Perth and all the very best. Moving day will be here before you know it :starsmile:

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

Thank you! :starsmile:

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
 

So is everyone happy that it is all over and happy when it was happening?
I didn't get any mince pies or lemon cheese tarts like my mom use to make but I do have a Christmas plum pudding that I don't know how to prepare.
We may get some much needed rain in the next day or two. Upee!?
Have to go to the doctors tomorrow for a check up. 600 miles, I think, one way??
Cheers

Today is my birthday and I'm celebrating becoming 78. Imagin that! I feel like I'm in my 50's

I am celebrating with several glasses of Martinellis Apple Cider which I love.

Cheers

Happy birthday! 78? Wow! I thought I was the oldest on the board at 70!
