True.... though I got the double deluxe treatment of redhair-and-freckles AND glasses. The kind of kid you cast in a movie as either a geeky nerd or an evil snotty nosed brat.

Kids are so nice aren't they?

1. House prices
2. USC hubby might have trouble getting work
3. Weather
4. I might not settle and then start ping ponging and end up skint!
5. Hubby might not settle in the UK long term and want to come back.

However, we are with the military and are going to try and get another overseas to the UK at the end of 2007. If we get it that would give us chance to be back there for 3 years and then see how we feel at the end of it.

1. David Beckham
2. Frank Lampard
3. Peter Crouch
4. Wayne Rooney
5. Michael Owen


On another note, i was supporting Andy Murrey(?) in a little tennis competition over the weekend... then i read some comments he made in an interview last week.. he said he hated the English so much that whenever England play football he always supports the opposing team.
W*nker!

Ignorant attitude of people (generally)

Expensive

Happy here

Too crowded with immigrants
