Default Told the family

Still planning for my return to the UK, shippers scheduled to quote on Monday and Tuesday, Realtors arranged for Friday regarding the sale of my house.

I have not announced the news to friends in Canada or the UK as yet, however told my family yesterday on the phone and there was tears of joy and excitement. My family are so pleased that we are coming home.
I had a friend begging me to come home last week and I had to grit my teeth and not tell her yet, now that was hard. I will expect I will be breaking the news to all my family and friends in the next couple of weeks.

I am excited to be returning to the UK after 3 years in Canada.

Whoop Whoop.

So glad everyone`s SO excited! Good luck with selling the house. We are at that stage too! Good luck! My amazing news was that while fossicking in the shed I found a tin of the original paint used to paint or walls so I can repaint/touch up and buy more if needed! I`d been messing around up till now not being able to match the finish or shade.

If we are, we're going to have to make the best of things because I know I for one don't have it in me to do this again!

At least as Brits we're genetically prepared for making do and putting on a brave face

indeed. So why couldn't we just settle abroad?

Like you, whether this works out or not, it's the last move, so
