BB, that sounds like a wise plan, but don't be too extreme in your plans for immediate self-change 
.
We might be able to sue them and block things to give us more time to find somewhere else, but it would be v expensive and DH thinks they may have exploited some loophole, though he's not sure. The people who bought it didn't even visit it, so that we wouldn't get wind of the sale, which pretty much screams guilt to my ears, however.
Boff, you can still come and stay, we have to be out on July 14th (liberté, égalité and all that) and I think your dates were earlier, no? Might be a muddle of packing boxes, though!
Puzzle, no. It is probably silly, but I hate the town. Gridlocked, polluted, dirty (the dustbin men go on strike, regular as clockwork, each summer when the heat hits, and the rubbish piles up metres high, with rats running around), disorganised, corrupt, macho, hardly any parks or greenery anywhere, high levels of violence, pretty bad schools, horrendous parking issues. I once started a thread on it on MN a few years back to see if anyone could help me see any positives in moving there, and the response was overwhelmingly negative.
And the commute for me would be really hard because traffic between there and my work is horrendous. I am already doing so much, the added complication of the commute would just wipe me out, I think. I have no friends there, no network of people who can lend a hand, no CM to help A adjust to nursery school in September 
with its 8:30-4:30 hours, canteen, etc.
I keep thinking I am being irrational, other people live there OK, but when I start looking at flats (we'd have to live in a flat...with 2 lively boys, that's also not ideal) I just can't face it. I think also that I have surrendered so much to DH's career, this is the line I have to draw.
I promised I wouldn't go on and on about this on here.
