well done DH, well done you.  NI would at least make you more European

Oh fantastic that he managed to get his vaccine. My auntie is a nurse and has been saying they just want people to come in and get the vaccine as so many within Leicestershire are not taking it and they don’t want to waste it. I find it astonishing that people aren’t booking in as soon as they are allowed to. I want Leicester out of the high danger zones as soon as possible to keep all our friends, family & communities safe, however appreciate not everyone thinks the same.

The idea of a move to NI sounds so exciting!

Hang on! We are not moving yet. He hasn't even got an interview yet

I think a move to NI would be more work for me, but less stress - everyone (old) would be within an hour's drive if there was an emergency, his parents are in their 70s, F-i-L mentioned getting very forgetful, and people getting angry with him for not socially distancing plus  he has just had spot of skin cancer removed. - but then again they could happily go on plaguing the life out of me for the next 30 years.      I do not think there is any harm at all in going for the job, it is not a forever thing.  It is just another stepping stone.  I have no real roots, so it would just be the next fun and thrilling ride to go on.  Another bit of the world to explore, although  I know that bit of the world anyway.

Today is our 5th Housiversary (yes, that is a real thing).  I need to get on with fixing stuff and getting stuff fixed.

Just sat outside at the little glass bistro table for 15 minutes and had a cuppa with DH (totally different man with a vaccine in him) in the sunshine.

Happy Housiversary, may you have lots of MF years ahead.

Ooh - glad DH went through with it 👏 - hopefully this will make him feel better about things - just in time for things opening up a but and nicer weather 🌞(albeit not for long!l)

Yes, but you're the one who will probably bear the brunt of the old people being ecstatically happy... DH will be busy working, and the boys will be teenagers hiding in their bedrooms while you run around after everyone. 

I'd seriously consider sabotaging his application if I were you...

Glad he got his jab, hopefully he'll relax a bit now. 

Love Belfast, its fast becoming a top city to visit. We live on the north coast now and cant imagine living back in the city again. We also couldn't afford the same lifestyle back in England

I think it is more about having options.   We cannot ignore the fact they are getting older. Anyway, he has applied - he did not even get to interview stage for the last two he applied for, so it is more an interesting experiment at the minute.

He has a headache but is fine.

if you end up in Belfast, I’d happily pay you to sort out all the wee jobs I can’t get tradespeople in to do.

What a good idea...
@f0xh0les - would DH like to find himself a job in Hampshire?
