Of course! And I should hope so too, would be weird if it hadn't. I'm not searching for the repeat button, just getting on with the next chapter of my life. It will be fun being a foreigner in a once-familiar country....

Aww, thank you, and I'll cheer you on when your time comes. And of course there will be updates, promise!

Oh well, sanity is overrated eh? Pass the straightjacket Maud....

You'd better ration yourself on the worrying or there'll be nothing left of you by the time it comes to move!

I agree with you - property might not be the golden egg it once was but at least it's real, and you can live in it.

The place I'm living in now has changed in the years I've been living in it too!

(not necessarily for the better either)

Whenever I've been back in UK on my holidays over the last 17 years, the only changes I've really noticed are the characters in Coronation St, oh and also I'm clueless which way my card has to go in the chip & pin machines !
Other than that, it is still and will always be my beloved England, my home

We have a 21 year too (DD, and you?) She is the one who started this whole moving thing. She started whining one day about wanting to live somewhere else, preferably the UK. Then she took a school trip to Israel and shifted her desires there. Leaving me with this sudden urge to go home Until then I had been "comfortably numb"

I like that way of looking at it better

Can I join too?? LOL I've been wibbling and wobbling for the past 4 months and am almost set to fly out in 3 weeks. I know for a 49 year old widowed female, with no job to go to, it's going to be hard. But I'm determine to make it work ! I have a house share situation all organized so that's one less thing to worry about. Now I just have to pray my limited funds will last me long enough until I get a job.
I've worked in the medical industry all my life, from Unit Secretary at hospitals, medical receptionist, data entry for pathology labs etc etc. You name it, I've done it ! So hoping that there is something out there for me.

So lets all wobble together and let's get this world rocking !

You can do it! Sounds like you have some great skills and experience to offer. House share is a good idea too, how clever of you.

Fingers crossed for all of us collywobblers

OK please wish me luck..... someone coming to look at car today, so hopefully that will be that sorted. I'm a bit biased but I think it's a great car, and I'm asking a bit less than a fair price - if it was me I'd snap it up!

Getting things done definitely helps with the wobbles, but they're still there!

You will be okay, I know it. It may take a month or so to find a job - or longer - but having the house share is a real advantage. I wish I could find one but I have four little pets and it would be hard to find.

I'd share with you! The more pets the merrier.

Wow!! Thank you very much It pleases me no end to find someone who would welcome my pets.

Seriously . . . if you are ever looking for someone to share with, let me know
