    Hi Moozie,

    Just a quick post to let you, and all my friends, know that I have returned from Italy.
    The initial planned two weeks turned into two months, I was literally 'kidnapped by kindness' and I could still be there now, but I didn't want to wear out my welcome.
    Unfortunately I was in the country and had absolutely no access to the internet, so I apologise for not posting, but I was thinking of you all, and am really pleased to see that your thread is still as strong as ever.
    Moozie - you would have been proud of me - I have had so many 'no-spend days' that I have lost count.
    I have introduced my Italian Family to the benefits of LIDL and they are delighted with my new MSE attitude to spending. Since my in-laws have a small farm, they are virtually self-sufficient in veg, eggs, chickens, fruit, salamis and most of all Wine.
    Not much joy on the job front though - there is a lot of beaurocracy in Italy, which makes it difficult for non-Italians to get jobs - it is easier to find a job, in Italy, from the UK and I will be registering with Italian Employment Agencies today as I want to go back as soon as possible.
    Please excuse me if I am not around much in the next few days, as I need to catch up with things at home.
    See you soon Moozie and gang.
    Rog. :A :beer: :A

    PS a few NSDs ahead of me as I now have 67 Eurocents to my name.:rolleyes:
