Hello all, Back in France and finally moved into new place. have unpacked last box. Forgot how much junk we had packed away. First box was packed over 10 months ago!!! Anyway weather still great here not too mention wine. Just need to do something about the french. Joke!!! Their not that bad. How did your meet up go? anyone take pictures? Tracey

Thanks Guys, We have been very lucky to have at least experience this and have a choice, and even better, we have the support of all our family. They will miss our daughter, but all said that we were "bloody mad" for even thinking we would live here. Bless em. Anyway thanks again, and will keep on here as we always have a fair old giggle when reading the posts. Really would like to join the BIP and Ilkoad fan club. Ta chucks Tracey

Hello Everyone, Just to say that even though i dont post very often i love coming on this forum. As some of you know my hubbie and I moved back 3 weeks ago after living in France for 13 years ago. But unfortunately we arent staying . Hubbie has had a great job offer back in France !tanning! and we just havent been able to settle here. we have loved visting places, but dont think we could live here for good. I think that Nottingham has changed and more importantly we have. But thanks guys for all your advice and help. B) Tracey

Sick as a parrot (but not with bird flu) Hubbie rang me last night, he had just got back from Ilkeston Fair with my little girl. Had great pleasure in telling me how good it was especially the mushy peas and Brandy snap.UMMM! Told him he doesn't have home to come back to unless he brings me some mushy peas and dumplings!!!!! !jumping! Sad i know, but it's the little things that you miss.

Sign me up, shall stock up on the old vino!!! Cheers me duck!!!!

Thanks a million all. We will try. We are young enough i hope to at least try, our daughter is only 4 and also at a good age, that if we decide not to stay and return to France it wont upset too much her schooling. i agree with both of you, life is short and we should try and make the best of it. As long as we are happy, what does it matter where we live. At least we have the choice, sadly there are people stuck in places that have no choice and incredibly unhappy. Here we come England!!!!!!!

Sorry caz but we in France dont get supplements, any meat of any kind is ridicously expensive. Sliced bread that they add sugar too!!!!!! Only the wine!!!!!

Just getting the supplement would be great We get english papers but never the magazines that come with them, and yet still pay twice the price. Looking forward to weekends already. B)

I spent a load of money in the 80s on these games. B)

Well fed up of friends telling us that we are mad to be moving back to England, really would like some true but positive feed back. B) People are quick to complain and rant on about weather, violence and immigrants, but pllleeeaaaassse tell me somethings that you do like about Notts. Crikey this a Nottingham Forum after all. Would really like some positive info. There must be some good things too. "Always look on the bright side of Life"

Pleeeaaassseee give me the recipe for a good stew n dumplings. Something i haven't had for years. Hubbie is back in Nottingham for a week in October and keeps telling me how is going to eat my favorites everyday!!! Git!!!! crazy

We saw Decon Blue back in the late 80's at the Royal Concert Hall. it was our first concert together as a couple, sadly i was towed along to see David Essex as a child, still have nightmares to this day!!!!!! But Decon Blue were well worth the show. One of the things we are really looking forward to doing when we get back. :D
