oh Rhubarb, sorry about your news Sad and i know what you're going through. i had to tear myself away from paris and it was/still is heartbreaking.
its not that i dont like it here in london, but i do wish i was in paris.

DD1 is 4yrs and even though we were only there for a year, she still remembers things about paris, her friends and keeps asking us why we live here. also she will only watch her DVD's in french.

i hope the move all goes well. thoughts are with you..

Rhubarb

I just wanted to say sorry you're feeling so miserable. I know how much you wanted France to work out.

I only 'know' you from your posts on here, but I know enough to know that you are intelligent, funny, caring and determined. You can make a go of this and be happy, I'm sure you can. Lots of mumsnetters will be thinking about you and looking out for you.

Hang on in there...
