Well congrats to you
Thanks, it's a relief about R.

Hi Sam

Glad to hear your daughter is much more settled, you must be so relieved. Also pleased that Stu is still enjoying the job! Paul still does but I'll be glad when we find out whether we have to move or not!

Let us know if your ever up this way as it would be great to see you again!

Hi Jo,
Thanks hun
mmm....moving....there's no chance i'm moving now R's settled! We'll see what happens but with mortgage, teenagers and OH's with jobs in the area it's a VERY BIG ask to ask you to move!! I'll be glad when this intitial years over though so we can book a nice holiday and actually know more in advance when he's off rather than lastminute.com!!

Glad to hear Paul's getting on well.

fingers crossed to us hey?

You should be fine Sam as there are a lot of stations Stu can travel to, we only really have one and we've been told there are no vacancies so it doesn't look good!! I'm dreading it but the not knowing is worse! I can't wait for a holiday as well!

Take care!
