Hey Jan, It sounds like your household is pretty much the same as mine:H! Except for us its French! My son is at the normal little French school in our town. The bilingual schools in Paris are about 18,000 euros for the school year!!!! HELLO! I don't even earn that much! But we speak English at home and I try to provide dvd's and books in English as often as possible. I must admit-his French is stronger than his English at this time. But I'm not too worried because his sister-she's 12- is bilingual, no accent in either language. Unlike "maman" haha! I'm fluent but kept my accent.

OK-better start getting some things done. My house is horribly cluttered! I need to just start throwing shite out. We're moving next month so this is a good time to "declutter and be happy"! I know I'll feel better after doing it but I just have to get motivated. There's a FB site that's called "I can't clean my room because I get distracted by all the cool stuff I find":H. That's me! Well, its overcast and chilly so a good day to fill bin bags and just get crap out of here! Starts-enjoy the weekend with your mum:l Talk later--expat

hi guys a very quick hello from me, thank God the sun is out at last I was beginning to think the UK had no sky!
Went out with my friend last night and she got very drunk, we were in this really sleezy bar and i was fascinated as I watched them all gulp down the AL like there lives depended on it (they probably do!) She kept saying, "I will just have one more" oh i shudder at the memory of these day!
I can hear her stiring and imagine she will be feeling dreadful, just wanted to say hi as i really miss my lifeline here when out of my safe environment. Its not that im tempted to drink but when circumstances are different to the norm I realize how much I need this place to check into. Its like it centres me again, I guess its because its the only place I can come and be totally honest about how I feel. Thanks for always being here :l"In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer ."
