Ive told work im leaving

Was actually easier than I thought it was going to be, after almost 4 years I didnt think i'd have the bottle considering I dont hate my job or my Company, in fact its the best place i've ever worked. My Manager was very supportive and HR are currently looking into the option of taking a sabatical although im not holding my breath but it would be nice.

For those who dont yet know, although most of my friends already do, I will shortly be moving to Spain!
Final moving dates depends on me and how soon I can tie up loose ends.

Lots of reasons for going, both personal and for career development.

Phew......... feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

 

Still think you're mad / brave .

Have fun and send us a post card .

 

Didn't think you'd actually go through with it, so fair play

Maybe it will be for the best, so good luck.

You'll be back within a year though

 

when can we visit

good luck for the future

 

best of luck Clare!!

I also told my company.. never nice, but had to be done

 

Mike, mad...... yes probably, brave........ not at all, im cacking it! lol

Rich, thanks for the vote of confidence

Westy, yes I have im going to rent it at guaranteed profit, and Spain has more to offer me than Oz or anywhere further afield.

 

lucky cow

Would love to go over there to live

Good luck hun and hope it all works out for ya


Actually, a annual pf piss up in spain at your house sounds a good idea

 

Hasta pronto

 

Sorry, it wasn't meant to sound harsh.

It's just a very big step to live and work abroad on a permenant basis, and I think there's a lot you'll miss.

Who wants a slower pace of life at 26?

 

When i worked aborad i came back a wreck after a year no slow pace for me lol

 

well done claire was nice to see u sunday .
wish u the best of luck.. xxx

 

I know John, im not sure why Rich thinks it will be a slower pace.

 

Well done

Good luck with career and future plans hun

 

Oh and good luck lucky git.

I wanna be completey gone by the time im 30.

Think Rich is thinking of donkeys and hills or somet

 

Thanks Buffster, was good seeing you too, you're looking fab girly!!!!

Thanks everyone else for the good luck wishes.

Anyone on here a carpet supplier / fitter? That's whats delaying me going atm

 

You already know how i feel anyway of course but no harm mentioning it again!
I think its fantastic news for you and i think it will work out really well for you and i believe you will be happy there and want to stay

Although obviously i will miss our little "dinner dates", but im looking forward to a cheap holiday instead so thats all good lol

 

Good luck with it.
Definately an oppurtunity not to be missed!
It's close enough to be able to come home on a cheap flight if you need to see family for a weekend or something too =)

 

Well done hope it works out

 

Best of luck Clare, you are far braver than me

Who will I dance with at the Central Day pissup now then?

 

Was that dancing mate?

I honestly thought you were having some sort of fit and she was trying to help you out with some first aid.

 

Sad to see you go hun, but i believe if this is what your heart wants to do then you need to give it all youve got and see how it all turns out.

 

Obviously you will be posting pictures of your white bits after your first month out there?

 

Even tho this must be a big move it sounds like this is something you have your heart set on so i wish you all the best

 

Aahhh Phil, im surprised you remember that! lol

Thanks Katie, Lee & Lou.

Stu, you about later for a chat? and Chip we can still do our dinner dates, it'll just have to be at a restaurant overlooking the sea instead

 

Good luck Clare
A big step moving abroad, hope it works out for you

 

We will have to have a video conference meal instead

At least that way you wont be able to keep touching me up

 

Nice one !! My Parents live out there and a few other places, seem to love every bit of it , but they dont work out there or anything like that.

Where abouts are you moving to in Spain ? Have you got anything sorted job wise etc ?

Good luck im sure you will love it

 

Clare,
My best mate is a carpet fitter - where abouts are you based and what did you want doing?

 

Mike, in MK and whole house needs doing except Kitchen & Bathroom. Nothing fancy regard to quality, just neutral colour suitable for renting it out.

 

All the best clare, dont think i could do it

 

Clare, my best mate is a carpet muncher, if she's any use to you let me know.

 

Chip, trust you and reply to my bloody text will you!

 

Good luck - and dont start smoking again!
It was hard for me to leave the UK but it was a good move. I have alot better appreciation of what a great place Britain is now

 

What are you exactly doing out there then Claire ?

 

My phone battery is flat clare, i havent seen a text from you, will put it on charge when i get home tonight, if its urgent though, send it to

 

Lapdancing

 

John, I will be living in Fuengirola on the Costa Del Sol and probably initially working for an English Company. The details are still to be confirmed so I cant really say too much at the moment.
I will eventually probably do some kind of Office Management or I quite fancy Car or Apartment Rentals. Plenty of good work available with my experience

Cant wait

Downside is work are not able to offer me a sabaticle, so it involves me leaving the Company

Keith, are you sure??? Have you seen the cost of living in the UK recently? The smoking thing does worry me somewhat I must admit.

 

Sounds good

I thought about car rentals but ended up flogging timeshare.

I so so want to leave

Not long till im back.

Im actually passing you on my way to seville from malaga on the 31st of october so may pop in and say hello, put a face to a name if your there then ?

 

whats one of them

I reckon you'll be fine Clare and I bet you really enjoy it End of the day its not too far away, so if things dont work out, only a short trip back to the UK

 

Ive known Clare for half a dozen years now and ive still not got round to looking up as high as her face yet, must get round to it at some point so i can also put a face to a name
