    Has he applied to a force? We're still waiting to hear back from the very first stage for NIM. What do you do for a job? (sorry if you've already said!)

    Vietnam is supposed to be amazing, I have a friend who moved there about 3 years ago from Yorkshire. He lived in Thailand a year first but fell in love with Vietnam.

    Just wanted to say that Vietnam is really nice! I went there a few years ago. I've also been to Cambodia twice and that's amazing. Cheap once you're out there too :)

    Sounds like a pretty interesting job. Your OH is nearly finished with the process then, bet he's got too many things crossed nothing gets in the works now to be excited yet.

    Vietnam and Cambodia are both on some of the trips I've been looking at this evening. Some of these places just look so alien, it's like I can't really believe they are there unless I go and see them.

    Morning Girls! Sounds like you had a right old holiday gabber yesterday!

    The cash card was for the ISA, made my tummy flip when it came up on the screen I just focused on the biggest number '£3580' thought I'd been given a new account with a massive OD or something! But noo, that's just whats left that I can put in this year.

    Torn between 3 nights in Cornwall or 2 nights around the West Midlands for the £9 travelodge rooms. Just thinking it'll cost an arm and a leg to get down to Cornwall where as a fraction of that for Trust houses in the West Midlands - Has anyone been too the Birmingham Back to Backs?

    Will have a proper catch up later, left to do all the housework and ironing again. Best get a'movin'!

    Cinny - go to cornwall!! West midlands is where i will be moving to with OH later on this year. He is from there originally and is dying to go home - god knows why!! Cornwall is lovely but then again it would be a bit of treck for you - the midlands does have some places. And birmingham is very good for shopping!

    I think everyone loves the area they are from. I know many millions of people adore london, but every time I go I feel closed in and dirty and can't wait to get back to green space and fresh air and views of hills rather than tower blocks!
