Deb, if it didn’t involve a ferry crossing, i’d do it – would probably be an education for both our single-sex-children families!!!! But money is tight just now, and likely to get tighter for the foreseeable too i think so i don’t suppose it will happen any time soon.

And i agree with Alison too – when i moved from London, i went overnight from there to Settle in Yorkshire. It was only on my first day in Settle that i realised that i’d got used to no one making eye contact with me in London. It’s sad really.

Sounds like a mostly-brill week. I do think your China project could involve a visit to a real-life Chinese (well, part) family – would fit well with Alison’s theory of nicer-people-further-from-London too! *And* no underground – what more could you want? LOL

Bah, I’m doing the same stuff you are, how come I haven’t lost any weight?

Excellent post Merry Well done on the size 16s (still a distant memory for me ) and weight loss generally.

The toy fair sound fab, I went to a couple at Birmingham NEC (the first memorably being when Scarlett was 2 months old it being the first time I’d left her and coming home to Manchester from Birmingham on the train, then standing in the snow waiting for a cab to get me home with 12 hours worth of milk starting to leak in my top)and they are excellent.

The business stuff all sounds very inspirational too

We were in London too on Saturday – every time I go I feel less and less nostalgic for the place, and wonder how I could have loved it so much growing up. When I went off to university, I spent the whole 3 years looking forward to living back in London again, and then just went “ugh” when it came to it.

I have this theory that the further you get from London the nicer (at least out in public) the people get.

Well done on your weight loss!

Centerparcs sounds great…apart from the sick bug.

It’s weird when your youngest gets older and you start to feel separate again, not just like a Mummy. It’s just happening to me and my youngest is 4 in April!!!
