    I love american/canadian accents. I seriously thought very hard about moving to canada once but I got very scared and unsure so never went throu with it, wish I had though.

    I love Wales and the Welsh accent.

    My friends emigrated to Ontario just over 2 years ago. They have absolutely no regrets and a much higher standard of living than they had here ;)

    Well Spud, I suppose it depends on how you quantify 'better quality' of standard of living.

    2 weeks hols a year is not better as far as I am concerned...

    bring it over on Saturday and your lap top and DD2 will give you a quick lesson..

    So you shouldn't really need to point anyone in the right direction:cool: I am hard to buy for - books and music and lipgloss mainly but allergic to most cosmetics....not keen on jewellery...pj's are always good for me.

    I agree with the Pj's Sammy, I got three pairs for Christmas which I was delighted with as I live in them!

    I wouldn't say I am a control freak but I can't sit back and just watch someone do stuff I feel guilty!!

    I think its fierce independance rather than control freakery!:rotfl:

    No course not, I had to have a cull as I had hundreds of people on there who I didn't know or didn't know who they were off mse etc so I just got rid of them all knowing the important ones would get in touch lol! If you could readd me that'd be cool. lol!

    Bunny I'd love Singstar, am looking into bundles as Abba one doesn't come with microphones, but think I can buy them seperately?

    PJ's always a hit with me and fluffy socks! :)

    i miss home becasue it was just that, my home. I did live an exceptional childhood in an idylic area but that is not the 'norm'.
    I love Canada, I miss it but I would not say one is better than the other. Ever. Both countries have things to offer and it makes me a bit angry (not directed at anyone! Honest!) when people second guess my choices. (ie when they say 'omg, why did you move HERE') it really gets my back up!
