We will get this debt down & the savings up

Anyone else having trouble with their signature?  Trying to update it and it just keeps saying it is too long and won't save my updates

We live about 3 miles from the sea front but I can't remember the last time I went but as we are on the part of the coast where the sea goes out a long way I would be lucky to catch it. There is also the sea breeze which can sand blast you. I do sometimes miss it though.

Ooh, where abouts is that?  My dad is literally a 10 min walk from the beach, its lovely. But does get bad traffic in the summer

I absolutely adore being anywhere near the sea - or in fact water generally! As a Londoner you sort of get used to the river just being there I think - in fact I worked for a good few years almost next to the North side Woolwich ferry terminal - used to love being able to walk down there at lunchtime and just pop over and back if I felt like it!  I suspect this is why I enjoy spending tie on islands as much as I do - nothing beats being able to get a really good view of the sea for me - and anywhere that I can see the water in almost every direction is even better! we're planning a day out over the Easter weekend - would love to be able to get as far up as North Norfolk but we've decided to keep the driving scaled back a bit and head for Suffolk instead.

Is Southwold in Suffolk @EssexHebridean?  We went there a couple of times and loved it.

It is indeed - and it's a lovely place with a fabulous pier and a very good brewery! I think this time round we'll be heading for Aldeburgh - just along the coast, similarly lovely but no pier or brewery. Great fish & chips though!

I'm glad you had a lovely time at Hunstanton.  I used to live very near, and be able to go there after work, 10-15 minutes to the sea there or at snettisham in car.  A *while* on the bus, but fun. I miss North Norfolk. We are about as land locked as you now, and it's the furthest I've ever lived from the sea.  I go a little crazy at times! 

We keep meaning to do a trip but getting out in the morning and over there is difficult, and partner refuses to go in season (fairly understandably!)

@ladyholly I KNEW you were going to say Weston SM when you said 'sea goes out very far!'.  (Some of my family used to live there and I spent weeks at a time there in school holidays. It was sometimes surprising to actually see the sea!) 

@Makingabobor2 I had issues with my sig yesterday. Not tried today.

Yep, still not letting me update my signature. don't know what's wrong with it

At one point, weren't signatures restricted to five lines, unless an older user? (with one already over 5 lines?) Forum is still glitchy though.
