I love Herpes stories, he is a wonderful entertaining writer. I dont think he is arrogant at all, just a very good and humorous story teller. That house was a nightmare, and some of the freaky things he found in it would have had me running for the hills..lol. His "Day one in a low wage job" thread is hilarious too.

I've only ever spotted a few of his posts on other people's threads and never knew he was so funny until I was pointed towards his house thread. He should write some of this stuff for publication. He reminds me a lot of Walter Jowers, who writes for the Nashville Scene.

Go and find the one about the low paid job, it is hysterical and the way he paints a picture of his colleagues is priceless, it's like The Office only much much worse ha ha!!

have you read his " Day one in a low wage job" thread, I literally had tears running down my face from laughing so hard at his descriptions. The Brussel sprout nipple lady..omg, I thought I was gonna bust my stitches..lol

[It'll have to wait until tomorrow, unfortunately - and I'm sure I'll have some very weird dreams tonight now I've read that]

well guys I finally got my date booked to head home..... Luckily room opened up in the kennels for my little dog on the Queen Mary 2 for Oct 7th of this year..... So crazy how once you book that ticket how kind of surreal it still all is..... I have had a few "what if" momments... but i just tell myself it must be the right thing for me right now because I have planned so much and wanted it so bad for so long..... and besides I am very lucky in having dual citizenship so i can always come back to the states should my mind every change... Over all I am happy and excited and even more thrilled that I don't have to put my poor little dog under the plane as that was my bigest fear.... I try to avoid the "ney sayers' and the "anti-uk" people now as i remember many of them have never left England so things everywhere else must seem Rosey to them.....They don't know what its like to miss home and ache with that feeling of needing to feel like you belong somewhere again............. SO the countdown is on, lots to do, find housing and a job.......Happy, nervous and excited.... Here I come!

How exciting, and wonderful trip on the QM2 what a way to travel and defiantly easier on the animals

Well done Hayley!!!!

And hey what a way to travel home in luxury!! Does the ship leave from New York and then arrive into Southampton? OOohhh just sounds lush!! When is your mum going?

I have 22 sleeps and feel all of your feelings then some days I have meltdowns and cry over nothing LOL!! So be prepared, it seems to be quite common!!

i know the trip itself is very exciting and cheaper than flying.. I could have been cramped in coach on an airplane for 9 hours worried about my dog in the cargo bay for $2500....

now i get a cabin for 2 (mom and I) a private kennel for my dog i can see 5 times a day, a 6 day cruise and a holiday for $2300...... best way to go, cant beat that.......

hayleyatfla

I didnt realize you were going back so soon yourself.... how great... Everyone on here is wonderful we should all stay in touch maybe one day once we are all home we can all meet up for a cuppa (:

Yes NY to Southampton, mom is coming with me as the price is the same for 2 people in the cabin as it would be for one, problem is she has 2 dogs... so she may have to come back and then leave again at a later date... However when I booked on Jan 30th they had no room for any dogs and put me on a wait list, 2 days later there was a cancellation and i got on. So she has now put her dogs on the list and we get that luck it will be amazing....

Good Luck with everything...... I am sure I wll cry as I pull away on the boat as I have experienced so much in 20 years but ready for a new long awaited chapter at home.... You will be great back home I know it (:
