to move or not to move?

[luciemule]

Hi - have kind of asked a similar thing before but this is different in that Dhs circumstances have changed.
Basicaly, we've been living in our own house for over a year and dh has been weekend commuting.
Having been selected for promotion, he could possibly/hopefully be loaded onto a course from september until next June/July.
We are having huge problems with DD (8) at the moment (calling me fat pig/wish you'd die etc) and when I asked why she behaves like this towards me, her reply is that all she wants is to live with daddy again.
If he got onto the course though, it would mean moving from here in the summer, where she's made somoe nice friends, and then moving again next summer somewhere else.
Dh thinks it's unnecessary but I just don't like seeing dd behave in this way. She was quite angelic until we moved here and now seems to point all of her anger at me as I'm the only one here. At weekends she's fine as DH is home so he doesn't get to see what she's like without him here. I'm just not sure what to do.

can't remember where barrington Ave is?
Is that the quartes behind the library?
where is your MQ again?

We're in BG. Barrington Av is the main road that you go down to get to BG, at the end of Barrington Av you turn left for the BG lower numbers and right for the BG upper numbers.

All the Barrington houses are new build and lovely!

Ha ha - we were also on BG a few years ago. They leave A LOT to be desired!

Tell me about it! The housing Officer said ours was in the worst condition he'd seen... I mean why would you tell someone that?! Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!

ah yes - barrington, leading off to Pilgrim's close?

Yes that's the one, the two last houses (one on each side of the road) before the split to BG are gorgeous. I'm pretty sure they are Lt Colonal houses. The garden's are huge, I mean seriously huge! That's the big plus rather than RW where the gardens are a good size but nowhere near the Barrington ones.

lol at sitting in lovely glasgow -
i take it you were in a hiring? the actual patch is ok if you are at the back - picking up bottles and needles out of your garden before you can let the dog/ dcs out is a bit of a 'mare.

some of the hirings are beautiful, and in lovely places - i wouldn't say 'lucky' to the folks running the gauntlet of the glenburn estate - although they probably have knocked down most of the derelict stuff that kept getting set fire to in the last two years...

but the shops are a thousand times better than anything on offer currently . i was slightly speechless when we first arrived and popped into glasgow in the middle of the orange marches... not being terribly (at all) scottish i hadn't actually expected that! ohhh, i'm all homesick for some shops now...

Oh no I didn't live there apart from one summer. I do visit a lot though and I have always really loved it. I went to Ed Uni and used to get the train to Glasgow and the shops and nightlife were a lot better

I'd rather the excitement of somewhere like Glasgow, here you feel you're losing your mind as nothing ever happens.

Come on - sometimes they get something new in at the Co-op (hopes it's still the Co-op....)

Sounds like you have made he best decision for youand your family. Dh starts ACSC in acouple of months and we have made the decision not to move for what wouldn't less than a year -but dd is younger than yours so maybe atadifferent stage? Our other factor is that I have a pretty good job here and was reluctant to give that up -especially if we wouldn't be in the next area long enough for me to do a role that looked ok on my cv. Someone remind me of that when I sick of working/ commuting and running the household on my own allweek! I have to admit I know dd will miss dh-although he is away 4 days in every 7 at the mo and we manage.

scootergrrrl - i don't believe you. they didn't ever have anything new when i was there. the world would have ended.

um. can you still buy socks for the soft play if you can't be bothered to walk 50 yards back to the house to get your own?

tis the only place i've ever had to line up for a 'spouses' official picture though. truly bizarre.

And when we went along dutifully for our official wives brief (your husbands will be working very hard, don't nag if they don't come home to put the children to bed but then go and get REALLY drunk at a mess dinner the next night etc etc) I was wearing pink cords... and so was the (male) colonel giving the talk

I bought a double game (wooden board) of snakes and ladders and drafts from the Co-op there one xmas.......for £2.99!

rofl @ matching pink cords

Actually there is the Co-Op and a Subway now, we're so spoilt for choice we can hardly think straight

And no you can't buy socks, but they have tons of pais that they give out if you've forgotten

ooo, free socks...

and a subway? where's that? in the same row or next to mcd's?

(that wee optician was quite sweet - offered to do prescription babybanz )

on the same row, in between the optician and the hairdresser, 2 down from Co-Op... I mean what more could you need... oh yes the MASSIVE Johavah's Witness church they built next door to the Co-Op. I even said to the builder 'please make it a John Lewis' but no!

ooooooh, that's who bought the land... the mind boggles. are you all converted?

the builder???? aren't they all supposed to do it themselves self-help in a weekend or something?

Hhaha I've never seen anyone actually in the place, no windows or anything!

I mean, come on, we could have at least got a M&S or something

aha - that land was up for sale when we were there.

we moved from shriv to camberley...

Ha very ha! It's so odd. How big can the JW community in Watchfield actually be?!

Finally made the decision- 99.9% that Dh will be loaded onto ACSC so we've chosen to go with him!
strictlykatty feel free to list me some numbers in roman walk/barrington avenue!!!
