Beats Big Lots every time (imho), and is just that little bit more down market than The Christmas Tree Shop
For example, at the one in Seymour this week there were Hobnobs and Digestives for (I think) $2 a shot.

Question 2
I have looked on the website for the Connecticut State Department of Education website and I cannot seem to work out what the application process is i.e. when and how you apply. Also what is the process when one moves to an area once the academic year has already started?

Question 3
Do you have some form of rating system/assessment method in the US by which I can ascertain how well schools are performing etc. If any of you have any personal experience - good or bad - of the elementary schools in Fairfield I would really appreciate it if you could share them with me.

Westport and Wilton/Weston schools are better (on paper anyway) but you'll pay the premium housing cost-wise. We have friends up in Fairfield and the schools there are highly regarded on the whole.
Stay out of Norwalk/Stamford/Bridgeport schools - some of them are a bit patchy.

Also some of the schools that King Gimp mentioned if you work in that school but live out of district your children can attend that school, my friend lives in Fairfield ,she got a job in the kitchen in Wilton school just so her three kids could go there, two of them are already in Wilton High.

Another vote for Westport - and you get the advantage of the great beach as well. Interestingly, lots of the smaller (and therefore cheaper) homes are in the area near the beach / marina.

I think your definition of small and cheap is very different to mine
Homes down there are not usually small or cheap. Nice though.

There is a tiny place down there on the market at $550,000 - Advertised as a two bed but is actually a one bed - with a room for a couple of small dwarfs.
