I'm moving up North!
I've just been told that I've secured a job at Homeserve in Preston!

I'm really nervous, moving out of my Dad's house to live with my girlfriend

I've wanted to move out every since my Mum died - I just can't settle here anymore. But now I can go!

Re: I'm moving up North!
I left Bridgend in 1997 and have been in Manchester ever since.

Enjoy it, like anywhere different, it's not home but you'll get out of it what you put in

I have to say I like people from both sides of the Pennines. They're just as daft as each other.

Cheers mate!

It's big jump, but I'm glad I can get out of my Dad's house.
