Where in China do you live?
We are considering moving to Shanghai in a few months; but are a bit worried about taking the baby to the far East.

Does England count as abroad for me? I saw a girl this morning "breakfasting" a McBurguer and a flake ice cream. Champion.

Alt: none that you probably know, so I'll save you the pain.

Shanghai??

I thought I had told you
Mark's bosses think there'll be good job for him (and maybe even for me) in 4-6 months time. In theory he should have gone already, but the project was delayed. It's not sure that it'll start in 6 months either.

*sadface*
Don't leave me. It was bad enough when you moved to London.

Oh, love...
that makes me very sad. We'll have you into consideration, but it might be the only way for Mark to get a promotion, as things in Europe are very slow. And we'll be back!

Well ok, as long as you're coming back.

We'll have to visit Mark's parents
at least once per year, so we can arrange to meet you at the same time.

Aw petal. Don't worry about me.

I do, of course I do.
BTW, let me know when your down here again and let's try to meet. I don't know when we'll go to Manchester again. Maybe in October, but it depends on how I'm feeling.

I'll be down for Monty's bash and maybe a few weeks after that depending on how fed up CQ gets with me : )

( girlinthehole, Thu 15 Sep 2011, 11:01, Reply)

Of course, I forgot about the bash
I'll see you there for sure!

By mid October we want to be settled in Worthing, so if you fancy visiting there, you're welcome.

Moving for good?

It's just a possibility
We agreed to go for 6 months and if we are happy and things work well for us, we could live there for 2-3 years. But it's not sure that it'll be happening. And we still have offer in Mexico; we should be hearing from them in November.

Oh fat people.

She wasn't fat
she was skinny, full of spots, and looked and talked as if she'd been on drugs all night.

I'm in Beijing.
Having a baby here should be alright, you can get an ayi (housekeeper/nanny) for quite cheap, though you have to keep your eye on them to begin with. Hospitals are alright, but I wouldn't send a kid to school here - international schools are massively expensive (up there with UK private schools). I have a 5-month old daughter and not had any problems.
