Oh, thanks everybody! So nice to see the good wishes here, although I'm not around too frequently.
It's been a good day actually. Just got back from a slap-up Italian meal with my sweetie. Our children did their best to be cute and not too whiny and it was the most beautiful autumn day. So - no complaints!
Happy Birthday, Fiona. Sounds like it was lovely!
So, 'ffistas, any advice on Manchester? I think that's where I'm going to move to in the UK.
The only thing I know about Manchester is that Life on Mars is set there. And Cracker.
I live to be helpful.
There's a girl at the Virgin Megastore who's nice.

I hear they have a football team.
At least two, Nutty. One of whom (Manchester City) is worth a cheer or two.
No advice, really, but I like Manchester. I think it's a city that's working hard to get better, and succeeding-- with the new shopping centre etc. It also has a great youth hostel.
