Can a house be bad luck?
Posted in expat, family, house selling, luck on March 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Someone, somewhere, once said that their house brought them bad luck. I may have laughed it off a bit. I am not so sure now. I think we live in a bad luck house. I do believe in fung shui. At least the basics of it. Cluttered house brings clutter into your life. If you [...]
Home Delivery.

What a way to start the day. I hadn’t even had a cup of coffee and Tesco delivered our groceries. What bliss. No crowed store for me. No having to fight crowds. No having to deal with stupid cashiers who take forever just to get you checked out. Nope. This is what I love. Yesterday, [...]
Goodbye dear friend.

Goodbye. I can’t say you will be missed, but your help has been more appreciated then you could ever know. Today was the day we said goodbye to my sons playpen. Yes, he was good for staying in it for so long. Over this last week he became aware that he could throw his leg [...]

I have just started my 8th load of the day. I have been at it since I got up and found that T had wet through his nappy. So bedding was added to the list.
I think that if I was to list the reasons for wanting to move back to the states laundry would be [...]
I can not believe its coming out of my mouth.

I have been catching myself lately saying the one British phrase that drives me crazy. I have been ending a sentence with a question. ” They went to the store, didn’t they” ” I was up late, wasn’t I” “He is playing out side, isn’t he”. Even as it comes out of [...]
Easter Friday.

What an afternoon we had. As it is Easter Friday in the UK , its a holiday. So we went to Matalan to get a few things, mainly a sleep outfit for K for her Easter pressie. She is to big for an egg really. I do feel bad for the kids in the UK [...]
kisses and hugs

This morning, as with most mornings, T threw his arms around my neck and gave me a tight hug. AWWW came out of his little mouth, then he gave me a kiss. This very small act makes me more happy then anything else ever could. I can remember when he was ever so small, just [...]
Customer service… where did it go?
Posted in expat, tagged customer service, expat on March 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The one thing that has driven me mad living in the UK has been the absolute lack of customer service. I have a really hard time with the check out girl who is to busy picking at her fingers to actually lift one to help pack a grocery bag. Or the person in the coffee [...]
Is this really the beginning, or the end?

We are at the start of a new page in my families lives. We are planning on moving from the UK to the US. We found a town in WA that we like and can afford. So we are at the start of this whole process really. I do believe that after a lot of [...]
