For those who I haven't 'met' yet, I have been here in the US about 17 yeras now. After the first 5 I was so homesick for the UK that I persuaded my American hubby to go and live there.
So off we went. It was brilliant for about two weeks.
We could never make as much money as we do here. Yes I know money isn't everything, but when you have been living in a 4 bedroom house to a 1 bed flat in East London it can get depressing very fast.
Now I did have my baby there and I have to say the care, delivery and after-care is probably the best in the world and I am still in contact with my midwife to this day, but to try and make it over there with the cost of train fares, taxes and life in general is too hard for us anyway.
It was nice seeing my old friends, but what a lot of you don't realise is that in the time you leave and the time you return, your friends have made other new friends. So after the initial arrival they would be off doing things with their new friends anyway. We were invited,. but I didn't care for the newbies.
Anyway, I love the UK, but I wont ever live there again by choice.
I am not going to slag it off, but I know you all know what I mean when I say it's drab and miserable, you get crappy service and there is nowhere to park.
Ok I apologise for my rant, but I just wanted to let you all know I did it, I went back and it was a huge mistake.
Hopefully it will work out better for all of you. I wish you luck.
Cheers
