    Thanks for the links, Taka! Lovely properties in Edinburgh, and that stone is so beautiful. Some areas of Liverpool and Southport are built in a very warm sandstone, really gorgeous.

    The diverse list of proper jobs - thats always been my problem :cool: what would I like most of what does appeal, tho they take me in such different directions. If I hadn't failed all my science O levels, of course, we wouldn't be having this conversation - I'd have been a rocket scientist working for NASA in Florida, and then I'd have gone to the Mojave Desert to work on the private sector spaceflight industry there :D:D:D

    Ooh KC moving to the North West would be fab you would not be too far away but I can understand why you would have misgivings - but you would get so much more for your money - choices lovely but hard too - nice to have the freedom to choose though

    Hi DT! To tell the truth, if I stopped what I'm doing now completely, Formby wouldn't be my first choice :D I'd be much more likely to bum about in Spain, France, Greece or Canada.....

    Glad you understand! I'd keep hold of a property in England, of course, and rent it out ... it might even be one in Formby, though just for the height above sea level, I doubt it.

    My little shopping trip yesterday was good - stocked up on gluten free pasta from Tesco, using the clubcard money I pay in each month, so no actual cash gone out, tho it is *real* money of course. And I popped into a BHF shop - completely forgot about the whole bag hoo-ha, I'd seen a book of interviews I wanted to read, for only £2.50 not £20 or so, so I got that, and a stash of larger sized knitting needles, often difficult to come by, for £1 total for 5 sets, v pleased. Glad now that I didn't pay for the big sets on ebay from China, even tho they are bamboo.

    Today, I'm off out in the evening, so I don't want to tire myself out too much, but I do need to do the path at the top of the garden, and hopefully get the weedsuppressant membrane down, as I posted on Fay's thread. Got a few books to list on Amazon as well. Other than that, I think I may actually do some lolling around, after I've done the daily mail comp for the French house, that is!

    Done my Amazon listings, stacked a few others for ebay, and put one to the charity shop - a copy of The Women's Room, which is falling apart, and which did its duty long ago!
