When I read the first post I had the feeling she was just being circumvent about the subjects that she went on to elaborate with her own dogma second time around.

Spent ages deleting a lot of my post so it doesn't come across they way I intended as I didn't want to be perceived as having a go at teachers in general. I was pleased that you highlighted what others must have already thought.

If you have a perfect life why would you want to live anywhere else in th first place?

Anyway.

Don't mind the marmite here not quite the same but ok

Been in Welly for eight months and we enjoy the choice of beaches within a half hour drive. The weather is not the best when the wind is up and the mist rolls in.

I get to spend a lot of time with my two children now and they have "re-bonded" with me. About two months after arriving my 6 year old son came into our room early one morning and climbed into bed and kissed me telling me he really,really loved me. Touched, I asked didn't he love me before and he said no! realising what he'd said he added that he did love me before but now he loved me as his friend because I spent so much time with him and I wasn't always at work. Did I blub....

Tough at times when you miss loved ones and for some bizarre reason I miss my old local Chinese Take Away and Curry house.

I watched some comedy program last week (love soup??) and one of the main characters lives in Brighton and commutes into the City. One of the scenes was shot on a Thameslink Train and just seeing the pattern of the seat's upholstery again made my stomach churn. The years of being squashed into those carridges flashed by.

The thought of going back to the UK makes my stomach churn in the same way.

I'll just have to get on with NZ and all it's good and bad points.
