    Just had the most incredible thought. It has just struck me how far we have come since our lightbulb moment in 2006.

    I am at this moment in time sat in the garden roof terrace of a cafe in a Souk in the middle of one of the richest cities in the world. There are all nationalities round me enjoying good food and coffee and fresh juices and smoking shisha pipes. There are sky scrapers surrounding us andits a balmy 35C. My husband had a job he could only dream about in the UK. The kids go to the best privae school and mix with 74 nationalities and royalty. They do activities like sailing and horse riding and swimming and rock climbing and skiing and guitar and violin lessons to name a few. We live in a million pound house, we drive a new car.

    I'm sat here on my iPhone hopefully helping people who are in the same place I was seven years ago.

    Feeling quite humble and great ful and thankful.


    Awww bless you TF, such a lovely post and here's to you helping us all for more years to come :beer:

    Solvent, more than enough room :) You can have your own ensuite, kingsize bed, bedside tables, 2 wardrobes, Big tall boy type chest of drawers, TV and sofa and still have more than enough room to swing a cat :rotfl:

    Right, that's sorted then, TF, it's more room than I have currently so that will do nicely :D How much is the rent and when is it available from? :D

    Hi If :wave:

    Thank you, that looks yummy and very French :D

    Nice to see you back, hope all's OK? :A

    I'm fine thanks, just going round in continual circles at the moment :( I think I must have grown a tail :rotfl: The next couple of days should be a bit quieter so hoping I'll be able to pop in a bit more frequently:)
