    Awwww Bunny, sorry you are feeling so fed up. :(

    Have you got to know your neighbours much? Do any of them seem nice enough to invite round for a 'getting to know you' BBQ and drinks next weekend or something?

    I wish I was nearer xxx

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Good idea Linda.
    Sad thing is apparently I have 'lots of friends' according to my FB, mobile, etc but no one I feel I can call that lives close by to just call round for a chat.

    I have also decided that for 12 years I have been ignoring the fact that I am homesick.

    I want to go back to Canada.

    Ewwww, better get it laundered before you touch it, actually fumigated, or better still, cremated!
    He can buy you a new one.

    I could go back if OH went back as well (he's Canadian as well) but otherwise, no. I couldnt/wouldnt take the kids away from him-he is too much a part of their lives to only see 2 times a year. I am going to ask him if we can SERIOULSY consider going back-we often talk about it but I am going to say I want to, NOW.
