Hello Essexwoman, would be good to stay in touch. Will arrive in Brighton in a couple of weeks time - you there yet?
Know exactly how you feel about being nervous coming back to uk (confused). Not sure I feel nervous so much as scared bloody stiff!! Been away 14 years, how long have you been away?
well done on getting places in Dorothy Stringer, as we don't have a house I didn't even try. DD1 will start at Varndean College and DD2 at the girls school. Happy with that decision anyway, both seem to be good schools.
I had positive reply from school of excellence recently and they said to get in contact once we arrive to arrange a trial. Just have no idea what the standard is so might be way off the mark. are both your DDs interested or just one?
Where in Germany were you? my sister lives near Koln, has been there 30 years now but still holds on to British passport.
How do the kids feel about the move? Is it coming home for you (by your nickname I assume not). We're from north originally so Brighton is new destination for us, no family in area, though do have a couple of friends I met during expat days who have moved to West Sussex.
Anyway must get back to packing boxes TTFN :)
