God thats better, can see the words now. The settings where set to the smallest, and i didnt know how to change them, but spotted veiw and went in there and low and behold can see what im writing now [:D]. Oh and just changed my email address to the new one (getting good now[geek]) will have to have a rest after all this work, not used to it. My hubbys oldest son coming tomorrow. Am wondering if im going to get all upset again when they leave [:'(]. Been looking at a couple of houses, nearly fainted when you go inside, they like stepping back 20 years, but still beautifull, if you get what i mean [8-)]. Hope your all having as much fun as i am, well except when we first went supermarket, we didnt know you have to weigh all the veg[:$], he he caused a queue, still we know now. speak with you soon xxxx

Well went into the post office today, spoke my best French[:D], (was thinking how good i was), asked for 6 stamps, (asked Julie who rents to us what to say before i went), and the women replyed in English[blink]. Then went on, to tell me what to get, in perfect English. Oh well, the next one i go in might not speak English so will keep trying.

well im still here and loving it, been having a look at some houses, but will wait abit yet. Never been out so much in my life, 4 oclock we got in the other morning, then went out till 2 the next night, very tired. Some of my family coming over 1 next monday, then my aunt at the end of Oct, and then son after that, be glad of the peace when they all gone. speak with you soon xxx

oh mates i loving it here[:D], my French has not got any better[:(], but going to have lessons from Julie(the person we renting off). Went to a pub on Sunday, they where mostly English, we had a game of knock out pool, and i won [:D]. The really funny thing is i didnt want to come, and yet i settled in, but my hubby is not so sure now, ha ha wetting myself laughing. We was really lucky renting where we did, Julie and I get on really well, when we meet people they think we have known each other for ages, (see told you i was a nice person) ha ha. Still early days yet, if any of you want to meet for a coffee in Josslin, would love to. ho i just thought my private email changed, how do i change that on here? Ho and we had sky put in to day, not as i have time to watch it, we allways sitting outside with the neighbours drinking coffee, oh the French live is so stressfull. Speak with you soon xxxxx

hi everyone, well i made it here, cried for 2 days before i got here[:'(], but now love it[:D]. The place is ace, and the people who run the place are ace, had one or two drunken nights with them[+o(]. Been to Josslin, very nice, but parked on in the space with blue lines, i think that means for 2 hours but then found out it was for people with a card or something, oh well no one said anything. Sat in the cafe with my coffee, watching the world go by, but not understaning a word of what was going on [:D]. Went to the bakers and tried my limited french, must have got it right, well the women kept saying wee wee so i must have [:D]. Oh well must go on someone elses computer, but will try to keep in touch xxx

Hi its me, still waiting to get over there[blink]. If i go for anymore last suppers i will put another stone on [+o(].We are living in a bed sit vile[+o(]. Still trying to work the sat nav, but hey i will find my way some how. Talk with you soon xxx [:D]

Well you guys, this is it, the bed is in the skip[:)]. I am so tired, it will take me a month to recover from this. We sleeping down the flat, so will not be on tonight[:(]. Will try to keep intouch over the next 2 weeks. Just laughing to myself this is the last thing to be packed, wonder why, sitting here in near empty room, hubby looking at me as if im mad lol. Mind you alot on here would agree with him[;-)].  

It seems to me, i cannot do right for doing wrong. I give up smoking, family think it great. I put on 3 stone in 6 months(which is a lot and thats not healthy), and the family go mad about the weight. Same at doctors.  

KathyC what can i say, welcome to my family. I guess that tells you all something about myself.

Well today has been a fun day. Got up cleaned, packed and cut hair. Went out for dinner with aunty, and no i didnt smoke[:D]. Later we droped van off, its having some work done on it before we come out to France. Had a phone call off my sister, asking us to go out for a drink. Had a nice night, untill she told me she would rather have me smoke than be fat [:'(], and no she does not smoke. It really upset me. just come home and had cig, husband not very happy. Well i feel like i have let everyone down, most of all myself.

[quote user="Cassis"]Coming to France may be a good time to give up.  I decided that on arrival here I would stop.  My downfall every time I tried to stop in England had been a drink in the pub with mates.  Made it impossible because a drink with mates = a smoke.  But in a new place, with a new start, it's up to you. PS And I've lost weight at the same time![:-))][/quote] Dont you just hate some people [:P] They are so addictive, i found my old tin (while drunk) i looked, i rolled and i smoked, thats all it took.

But Cassis, i had given up since March, oh im so mad  [:@] at myself, b****y drink [+o(]. Mind you with so much going on, i dont know how i have kept off them. Oh what an excuse, slapping myself round head again for being so week.

Oh just as i was sitting smug, thinking i done most of the packing over the last month, we got all the boxs in one room, there was 29, oh s**t [:(]. I have spent the day unpacking [:'(], and throwing more stuff out[:'(], now down to 15 boxs, which is good, but where the hell we going to put everything when we get there [8-)]. Why did i have a cig? Why did i have to do it? Dam, and you know what happens, yes you guessed it been round neighbours and smoked another [:@]. Before any of you go to smack me round the head, your to late, wacking myself as i speak, dam,dam and more dam. I will be glad when we get there, all this worry. We went down to the flat today, its vile, but still we only got to spend 9 days there, god will i be counting them down.

Well i very drunk [+o(], opened the champagne. Been naughty, rolled a cig, oh it was so nice, mind you, what a head spin [:-))]. I hate giving up smoking, all the weight i put on, 3 stone so far. Still i guess i dont smell like an ash tray, ( just look like a barrel) [blink]. Cheers everyone [B].

Well the house has sold [:D], we exchanged today, got to be out of here by the 31st. Thought I would be sad [:(], but no, just really excited [:-))]. We renting for 2 weeks, just to tie up the loose ends, then we are off, should be there on the 12th Sept.[:D]

I dont worry jayjay, not about this anyway. If people laugh, well I guess thats there problem.  What im really saying is they can [kiss] my a**e [:D].

Well at least i can write and spell that [:P]. Why would you want my autograph Mark? I must be alot worse than I remember, is it really that bad, look i putting capitals now, getting better. Sometimes i just lazy [Www].

Thanks. I should not be sitting here doing puzzels, I should be packing, but still everyone needs a break. Going out later, for lunch, Im turning into a lady that lunchs, and i wonder why im fat [:-))]

Oh is that all, well to me, i just see it as normal. It runs in my family, my nephew has same problems. Will not even attempt to spell what the problem is, but im sure you can guess [:)] The reason it changes so much is because im trying to write correctly, but so failing lol, but doing my best. It looks like a 5 year olds, but i never said i was perfect, just very close to it [:D]

me to

Thought it was to good to be true [:(]. For once i thought people were being nice [blink], how stupid of me. Schizophrenic, well if you think so.

ok who ever told me about jigzone, is in big trouble, i am so addicted. Thought i would score really good, but fail , to even get average times [8-)].

I remember a time you all thought i was a wind up. Its better being unique, i think [blink]. Still dont know why, you would think tha,t but thanks anyway [;-)]. Wonders if its her unique way of spelling, or her unique way of sticking commas in here and there, to show that she trying [Www].

Ejc, i agree with everything you have said [:)]. But i have to say i have done none of the above[blink], we decided 6 months ago to come to France, and you guessed it, we never been there. We have sold our businesses, our home and all our stuff. Mad, mad, mad but oh what an adventure, and if i dont like it, so what, i can always go back. Who cares what people will say, as long as i have a laugh along the way, then all will be well. THIS MESSAGE COMES WITH A HEALTH WARNING, PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE, OF WEAK HEART. LOL

Why would it be fascinating [blink]? Am i really that bad? Or really that good [Www], i take it as read, thats its the first one,[:(]. Any way not got many days left. they should be taking me off air soon [:'(], leave the house next Thurs. We renting a house for a couple of weeks then thats it, we coming over. The person in France, who we renting off says i can use her internet, but dont want to be to cheeky. Can you have a telephone conected for 3 months. If not, will really be ripping my hair out, will have to find internet cafe.
