My DH has been offered a job in Bermuda for two years...

[anorak]

With accommodation allowance, living allowance, flights allowance and most likely a pay rise and promotion (he thinks).

He is going to a meeting tomorrow to negotiate his pay etc.

What do you think then? Should I go and lie on the beach for two years or not?

Is it Rickman?
JanH?
PPH?

t'was me.

I only have 4 - give me a break!

Perhaps I was thinking about Mr Beetroot!

Yes come and eat bananas and fish with me

fresh fish - mmmmmm

Well if you can fit Beetroot and her 4 in then I know that there'll be room for MrCSWS, dd and I .

How long is the flight, and tips on entertaining a boisterous toddler for that long please ?!

And congrats to your dh of course. Clever, clever man.

I don't remember banana trees when I lived there,could be my memory though.We have friends who went the same time as us and are still there 19 yrs later.

do you need to ask? what a fab opportunity for you

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just thought about this and no no no no no you cant go for reasons as follows......

1] Who will make birthday cakes for my parties?

2] Sloe gin

3] Who will I call when DPs parents are here and the pud I was going to do is smashed to bits?

4] Sloe gin

5] Who am I going to slag off the Devon trollop with?

6] Sloe gin

7] Who will have the wonderful Christmas get together s?

8] Who will help keep me sain?

9] Slow gin

10] Who will give me Christmas hampers of home made goodies?

11] Sloe gin

12] Who will I visit that never lets my wine glass get empty?

Oh and did I mention the sloe gin???

Honeymooned there, fantastic place. I do remember talking to a Brit who'd moved there with her DH and she was moaning about there not being seasons and that she missed her local butcher's!!! Some folk will find anything to moan about. If you can, go!!! If you can't, can one of us go instead?

Hahaha kimi LMAO

One thing I will love is the fact that I won't have room to pack my cake tins, sewing machine, wine-making equipment, craft stuff, or building tools. I know how to do so many things and people expect me to do them all or they get offended etc etc...it's all going to stop, and I feel like a weight is being lifted off me.

But the other thing is that I will have to get rid of my stocks of home made wine and liqueurs before I go, so...

Now Anorak, as I love you to bits I will willing look after your things for you.
I can't promise that you will get back as much alcohol as you leave with me but I will do my best

You know we always appreciate everything you do for us, and I hope we have never made you feel put upon.

Not you kimi. Not you. Catch my drift?

This is really brilliant Anorak - I am very happy for you - you deserve something fabulous to happen!

anorak, my friend stopped there once when she was travelling, and ended up marrying a Bemudian and living there for years! Would you like me to ask her if you could email her for the lowdown? She's a top bird (though not a mother...)

Oh, thanks FMV but I have a friend who used to live there who has told me lots of stuff.

And DH's company are good with info too. He has contact with the guys over there and also his prospective new boss came over this week and took us out to dinner. Also DH went there for 10 days recently and they are going to fly us all out for a few days' visit so we can see for ourselves.

god I'm lucky, I just can't believe it. I feel like I'm dreaming all this.

Bloody Hell woman, do you need to ASK???????

Good on you!

Have a mate living there, he loves the place

As I think you may have guessed, it was a very rhetorical question

I hope you are having the mother of all going away parties

Cowbag, you are just rubbing it in

may your armpits be infested with a thousand fleas

LOL MB

Anarok, this could not happen to a nicer person, ENJOY
