Re: Timeline for naturalisation.

Hi Elvira - hope you're doing OK! - no - I sent the original back as they requested. Yes, I suspect it was a bad thing to do. OH was in Iraq and I was at the point where I was getting ready to hand...

Re: Timeline for naturalisation.

Would just like to say, in the hope of making everyone feel better, that I live in Texas and applied for citizenship in May 2006. Recently got an appointment letter telling me to get my fingerprints...

Re: Eurovision song contest

I remember Mary Hopkins winning back in 1970. I was only seven. I thought she was great :lol:

Wait - I'm wrong - Ireland won that one...

Re: Right then, only postive posts please!

When I first moved to the States, I got 'homesick' for the Scottish Highlands, even though I'm English. All I wanted to do was climb up mountains in Torriden (Sp?) It's probably the most beautiful...

Re: Is it me

Yes, well. All that's nothing. The other week there was a thread on here about foods we miss from back home, and people started talking about Double Deckers and to cut a long story short, I got so...

Re: Letting go of friendships...

Thanks - and I did email her, bless her. Sometimes we think about these things and don't do them. I got a phone call last night from a friend here in the States, to let me know that a friend of...

Re: What to do when..............

You know, I was thinking that too. Gazza - I have to say, and I know this could be causing some trouble - but what you wrote about your OH's attitude towards you only going back to the UK for little...

Re: "You must be mad to move back here"

Do you know what I think is rubbish about the UK? The attitude of moaning, whining Brits like that (sorry - I know he's your brother! :lol:) But honestly, they whine and moan about the country...

Re: Letting go of friendships...

Do you know what really got me started on thread? On sunday, I made the mistake, being very hormonal and not having eaten any lunch, of going to Sears to pick up my new Dyson vacuum cleaner. I...

Re: Letting go of friendships...

That doesn't sound like paranoia at all. You sound very similar to me, in that you seem to have guilty feelings about this.



That is excellent advice - hard to take, because of the bitter...

Re: Letting go of friendships...

Yes, it does make sense. Also, the people who have turned out to be the most supportive are not the ones I expected, either. My ex-sister-in-law, and my ex-boyfriend (who was one of the reasons I...

Re: "You must be mad to move back here"

You know, I think that people who say that should be forced to emigrate for 5 years. That'd shut the buggers up! :eek:

Re: Letting go of friendships...

Yes, I was thinking about classes and clubs and stuff. It is an exciting thought, and I can't wait, as I won't be working then! Being kind to myself - now that's a hard one - haven't quite figured...

Re: Letting go of friendships...

I'm sorry you're going through that, especially since you have only been away a couple of years. I suppose it is inevitable that we drift away from or outgrow our friendships, especially when we are...

Re: "You must be mad to move back here"

Lucy, I feel for you - and I don't handle it well at all. My family are happy that I'll be going home - as for my 'friends' and their negative attitude, that's a different matter. I find it very...

What about the Ribble Valley? Main town Clitheroe with a population of 10,000 (I shouldn't be telling you this - I don't want my town to get too populated:lol:) Check out this website,...

Letting go of friendships...

Has anyone else experienced the following - I would be especially interested in hearing from older people - I'm 45 - because friendships seem to be a whole different ball game when you're older. I...

Re: How much for a Rat's foot??!!?

I once spent $84 having my hamster operated on - they took a photo of him with the oxygen mask on and everything :eek: As it happened, he had an inoperable tumour, so we ended up having him put...

Re: Cadbury's Digestives

I've not had one for years, and I'm feeling desperate, so I expect it will be easy. Are you telling me they've changed the bloody base? Did I mention I've just ordered 15 of them? :rolleyes: I'd...

Re: Cadbury's Digestives

No. I don't need to have PMS to do that. I don't know what I'm going to do when the Double Deckers turn up, because I'm not known for rationing when it comes to chocolate. Which reminds me of a...

Re: Cadbury's Digestives

You can all cut it out :mad: I've done nothing but eat chocolate and other fatty things and spend nearly $30 on 15 Double Deckers since reading this thread. You're all on my shit list.
