Re: We're Back!!!!
Sorry sambapink...we all get sidetracked sometimes, that's what makes these boards so interesting. I'm sure we'll shut-up now. There is a seperate thread for this in 'moving back'.

Undoubtably.. but what has it got to do with the OP's point about arriving back in the UK..? Just wondering.. I thought I must have been missing something??

Re: We're Back!!!!
Having mixed feelings about anything just means we're receptive to situations and can see both sides....the alternative is being one of those shiny happy people being fleeced down at Hillsong. You're not wrong at all, life isn't compartmentalised into boxes, nor should these boards be. Don't take it personally -sambapink might be having her own crappy morning too...it's not easy being an expat is it? Sending a bit of karma to help you through the next couple of days.

please don't claim on me. I am a bit grumpy this morning with mixed feelings about the UK and I am leaving tomorrow. and to Jersygirl, you can remove my posts if you want to - if you think I am wrong. I don't care.

But I wish there was a home place to return to as so many of you have. It's been 30 years. Parents dead. Family and friends scattered around, and mostly not in places that appeal. So it'll be starting from scratch somewhere, working from home. Hope to find a friendly spot! Bev I'm in the same kind of shoes as you. I've been here 30 years and am planning to go back -- just me and the dogs. I have family in the UK, but I have no intention of living with or even necessarily near any of them. I kinda like it. I can go anywhere I want!!!!! How cool is that? But it's almost a curse because I don't know where I like best. I like it ALL!!! :eek: Seriously, I will probably start off somewhere close enough to commute to London, and I'm thinking northeast side (Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire). But who knows. But after 6 months or a year . . . . . :p As long as I can get work -- and I may be able to go freelance, so my options would be WIDE open. :lol: I feel really positive about returning. (Now where's the emoticon with pink glasses . . . ?) |
Re: We're Back!!!!
Wow! How envious am I of you?
No kids? No hubby? Nothing but yourself to consider? A job that is totally transferable? Obviously you have a strong free spirit....I can see you now, leaning out over the prow of the ship, arms outstretched, OK...don't do the Titantic, but you get my drift! Well done - you've just taught us vascilatators a thing or two. When are you going?

Well done - you've just taught us vascilatators a thing or two. When are you going? Seriously, though, I do know how lucky I am that I don't have to consider anyone else in my decisions. It breaks my heart when I read posts from people who have to stay where they are because of spouses, kids, or parents. I know there are obligations, but "selfish" goes both ways, doesn't it . . . ? :confused: I don't know when I'm going. I want to sell a mobile home first. There's a possibility we'll close on it next week, but there have been false alarms before. . . |
