Hello everyone, I am having an unusually good day today! (very unusual for me, trust me!) I recently got back from my visit to the UK and it made me realise just how much I like it here. Yeah, I can't work and I have no friends here yet but now I want that! Before I wasn't that bothered about trying to get out and enjoy it.
Actually I did go back to UK last year, just after we got here because I did hate it and missed everyone so much. But that only lasted a couple months and I realised it wasn't the same without my lovely boyfriend and I belonged here with him. Now I volunteer, which is great and I enjoy it, and that means I'm getting out of the house and meeting people!!!
AND.... the sun is shining! Have a happy smiley day all

that's funny I just came back and feel the exact opposite.
so much so that I just applied for 7 jobs in the UK.

So the pre-return party you had changed your mind? I agree with Ray, there is nothing like getting sunshine on your back Should get to 83 today.

amen to that Haley - we went home at Xmas and came back looking at the US in a new light ... my wife has made an incredible effort since coming back to make friends and get intergrated in the community and we have met some really cool people (a lot of them English but "birds of feather" and all that)
We are letting our eldest go home next week and hope that will put some perspective on her living here (it probably wont as she is the only person the world that looks at chavscum.co.uk and thinks the girls look cool and lads are fit )

Eskimo

how long you been here Manc ? what you missing mate ? (apart from pies and SCFC)

Manc

I'm a city boy at heart.
I think living in the sticks is slowly sending my insane.

jjmb

are you really considering moving back? And there's me thinking that you thought the sun shone out of the USA's backside.

Eskimo

Must admit Manc I have just spent sometime up in the Mid west and I think I would find it tough up there - good weather aside I love here being able to drive 20 - 40 mins to either the beach, the mountains, the desert or the city ..
Never really had a lot of affinity with "plough jockeys"

ain't that the truth, it took me years to get used to the heat and humidity but from the very start I've enjoyed outdoor pools all Summer long!! hearing the cicada's, palm trees and margarita's at the pool...bliss!!
it feels like a vaction!!

you need to travel a little further South Manc
