    New start

    So in honour of me moving (and the fact my last thread had gotten quite long) I'm going to start again!

    Got my latest assignment back, my iCMA. 10/10!!! So chuffed as I only learnt how to do simple linear regression literally minutes before I answered those questions!

    And as promised, the area around my new home

    Beautiful! What a difference it’s going to make! And awesome result!!!!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    That first photo is the road into the village coming from the York direction. I'll have to get some photos of the road in from Hull. We walked pretty much the length of the village in less than 10 minutes, with the children in tow, which tells you how small it is. The other photos were from the old railway line.

    It's much less busy than where you are now by the looks of it.. Which can only be a good thing for your mental health and studies!

    It's a proper village. You can walk from end to the other in around 5 minutes. There is only 1 street off Main Street on both sides at J's end of the village and then it's open countryside. There's a church, village shop with a post office counter, primary school, village hall and a pub and at the last census, there were less than 1400 people living there! It's very peaceful and people in the street say hello. I love it!

    Hi Jaq.....your new village looks idyllic... I take it you're both looking for a new place to live? (or haven't I read enough!) It will be a great place for the kids to live I also noticed (if I'm correct) that there's a neighbourhood watch sign on a post...we have a very 'eagle eyed' bunch of watchers in our village! I couldn't help noticing in your now closed thread what you wrote about the kids' mother Cruella and her shouting at one of the kids. I have to say that I wouldn't stand for that, having a kid sobbing on the end of the phone wanting to come home. It needs rectifying. She and the rest of her dysfunctional side of the family need reining in. No judge in the land would allow that behaviour. Those poor kids! My kids father and his parents/sister etc., did the same thing and access was stopped by me and my solicitor with the help of a Judge in private chambers with my two kids who in no uncertain fashion told said Judge that they didn't want to see their father. End of....give it some thought. But on a lighter note, well done for doing so well on your course and for being a really good mum. It's Mothers Day soon.....should be interesting! Good luck with everything

    I'm moving in to his house. He's lived in the village since he was a year old and it makes it easier on the children too. We've pretty much erased her from the house now and I'm painting the hallway and downstairs loo in my summer break, and will try and do T's room too.
