Default going back

After a turbulent few months, the death of a fairly close family member and my husband winning a rather large contract in the UK, it has been decided that we are going back there!! Luckily we still have our UK house to go to. So we're now packing up and leaving on Saturday 7th August, driving up to Santander and taking the ferry with the dogs in my old citroen (if it makes it ????????????????)

I'm so gutted I can barely type this

Really sorry to hear that, Jo. I know you loved it here. But maybe sometime in the not so distant future you'll be back again when the kids are a bit older and when you will be able to spend more time here with your OH. You will definitely be missed here too.

take care,
Caz.I

wow that's a shame jojo - I know how you love it here


these days we have to go where the work is though, don't we, especially when we have kids?

at least you did what we all recommend to people to do, and didn't sell up in the UK, so have something to return to

& as the others have said - it doesn't have to be forever, does it?


you don't have to leave the forum though, do you?

Good luck Jo, and look on the bright side as you are better placed than most (house/job)
You will still be on here & can nip over to Spain for a break now and then also, and I fancy that when you do you will really enjoy your time here even more as a result.

What a shame to see you leave Jo. It must feel really bad right now (especially on so short notice), but I am sure the move will have a positive impact on family life. Get yourself sorted out in the UK and enjoy the supermarkets . I am sure in some years the economical situation will be relaxed, maybe this will be the time to open a spanish branch of your OH´s business. Or just retire early to spain?

I am sure you will be back sooner or later. Time flies by



Sebastian
