Hello from IL
 

Hello, just come accross your site. Well just a quick overview of myself......... lived here in the US for a little over 4 years now before that lived my whole life in North Wales. I enjoy working on my house, a fixer-upper, as they call it over here, movies, walking and generally not being in work.

As for work, I am Production Control Manager for a large automotive components supplier, so the way that industry seems to be heading recently I will be looking a new job soon!!! I hope not but being as our #1 and #2 customers have gone into CHpt. 11 things don't look to great.

Well nice to meet you all.

Welcome to BE....love the username :)

Good luck on the job front...and Wales...there's a few taffs around here :D

Re: Hello from IL
 

Welcome to BE. Sorry to hear about things in the job front, it can be really stressful when worrying about the stability of your job. I hope you already have a green card so if the worse happens it would be easier for you to get a job here.

Gosh I sound very doom and gloom - didn't mean to come across as that :o

Hello and Welcome :)

Re: Hello from IL
 

Thanks for the concern. Too be honest I'm not too stressed about it what happens, happens. I am lucky in so much that my wife has an excellent job that is far more stable than mine! Also I have made sure that I have not lived beyond my means and have that emergancy fund set aside like all the financial advisors say to do in the buisiness section of the paper. I suppose I am the product on an extremely frugal family upbringing.
Green Card wise I am OK, have the 10 year one now and have sent off for citizenship a few weeks back.
Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Re: Hello from IL
 

You are an example to us all :D Good luck in your application for citizenship.

Hello and welcome. Where in North Wales did you live?

Re: Hello from IL
 

Prestatyn, St. Asaph and Trefnant also spent a year in Leeds but did'nt like it so I came back to North Wales.

Re: Hello from IL
 

I lived in Rossett before moving here.
