I have no idea how this forum could get more confusing, last night I decided I was done with the old original thread, it seems there is nothing or very little I could contribute, infact to be totally honest Im not sure what the so called "posting rules" are for that thread, so maybe I could post or maybe not, I try to stay within the rules and try to keep people happy...

I made the decision to stay on the NEW off topic thread, and not any visit others including this chit chat thread, so then I sign on and can't find that thread, its gone....

Oh Boy.....

Please moderators, Im not mad at you and dont need the explaination, I can see you have a difficult thankless job of sorting out this mess, the logic speaks for itself... but its just geting too much for me... I'm not sure its worth all the aggravation...

And yes I know I moaned about all the different threads, this constant changing does my head in.

Yes, I watch Corrie, but we are 10 months behind the UK. Nevertheless, I watch when I am in the UK too and if I ever get Expat Shield to function, I'll catch up there:).

Oh I was SO nervous LOL!! I have never driven in the UK before though I passed my test in Australia about 28 years ago!! :eek:

We drive on the same side over there and it is mostly the same but some different road markings and signs......

But after a few local "trips" up and down roads to visit family I felt pretty confident BUT not enough to go on the motorway tomorrow as my brother suggested.

He said I should drive and he would sit next to me on our way to Manchester but I have chickened out, that is TOO much for a learner like me. :lol:

So who can bring Easterner, DDL and Islandwoman back on here?

I want to know about the wee dog and the commute and the car buying and the family in Canada.

DDL I want to know about the new job and house search.

Islandwoman I want to know how you are doing in the Blue House and Salisbury and the countryside.

Did I leave anyone out?

Cheers

Incidently I thought there was a new thread started to investigate or get input looking for a house that would be a halfway house for returning Expats. I never saw it but I thought it was suggested
