Yeah, I know.

I've been here for over a year, I have no friends, I feel lonely all the time, I miss Morgan like crazy, and I'm not sure I'm in a job I want to be.

If I went back to UK, I'd have Morgan, I'd be close to my family; my brother, my sister in law, my dad, my cousins, my aunt, my other grandparents. I'd have my old friends back, and there are a couple I've been speaking to online who know my brother who sound really cool, and who want to meet me.

My plan is to work fulltime until I can start college next september, then go to college, take some animal courses. Maybe a grooming course or animal science, and have a part time job. Save up as much as I can, then get a full time job, and live somewhere with Morgan.

I wanna travel, I want to have a dog. (Trust me, I've made sure there are Toller breeders in UK. There is one in Suffolk, just south of Norfolk, which is where I'm going.)

Call me crazy, or maybe not. It is my home afterall. Why be here, lonely and empty, when I could be there surrounded by people I love, my family, friends, and Most importantly Morgan.

At least I can say I've tried living here, I tried it. Now I wont ever need to wonder.

Yes he was going to move here, but he's been having difficulty, he's finding it hard. And thats totally understandable. I can't expect him to move here, leave his friends and family behind, its just not going to work.

At the end of the day, in the future, we can always come back here.

Yeah I'll miss it loads, I expect. I expect I'll go back there and cry about it, but I'll be with Morgan. I can't even imagine anything more blissful. Just to hold him again.

I'll miss my Grandparents, I'll probably miss the girls I work with, and I'll miss Canada in general. But thats about it.

So, there you have it. I'm going home, home. Where I can be proud to be English, where I can have gorgeous fish and chips... yummmy.

I'm scared as anything, especially telling my boss. But I have to do what I think is gunna make me happy.

Where abouts in the UK are you coming back to?
I think you should do what you feel is right, and if you are lonely, maybe it is for the best to come back. Theres no point being somewhere that makes you sad, when you could be happy!

England is fantastic (well, parts of it!)... I love it as my home, but I'd love to try living somewhere else! Hmmm... Maybe I just need to move more into the countryside... From Yorkshire and lived in Liverpool for 5yrs. On the wirral now so LOTS greener, but still not enough fields and hills!

I think it's a good decision! You don't want Morgan to resent the fact that he had to leave everything behind him one day. It's hard, so if you think your place is there, it's probably the best for both of you!

When are you planning on going back?

Move to hampshire dizzy, theres massess of green stuff here lol.
Maybe I will one day...!

We have been discussing about where we want to move to alot recently. I'd love to go to wales (only about 1.5 - 2 hrs from Wirral) but it's just a case of finding work there and all that kinda boring stuff! And learning to drive (tsk - shoulda done it years ago), no good living in the countryside and not being able to go anywhere!

I love wales! i go on holiday there a lot with the dogs and its just so peacefull and different from englands hectic life. Such a difference in a couple of hundred miles. And they seem to care about the environment in a big way, you don't see massess of houses being built etc.

Akemi, it's good that you're doing something that makes you happy and that you took a chance most people wouldn't have. Now that you know what you need to make yourself happy, I think you'll appreciate it all much more. Good luck back in England and make sure to keep up with Chaz!

Don't worry, I will keep up with Chaz hehe.

I think I am going in December, either before christmas or after. Thing is, I have very little money, and can get a flight for about $350 before christmas, then anytime after is really expensive. And I'm gunna need every single penny to get back on my feet again, my mum and I both are.

We're going back to Norfolk, South East. Not the best part of England but thats where I come from! Well technically I was born in Bury St Edmonds in Suffolk, but, lived in Norfolk whole life.

I Do Not, by the way, have one of those awful Norfolk accents! (sorry if offends anyone :p)

I feel awful, I keep hyperventilating and I haven't eaten anything all day. The thought of having to explain this to Kalee is petrefying, I'm going to colapse, its going to be so awful, I'll get so tongue tied, she'll be so angry. I feel so awful

Is that your boss? I don't think she'll be angry, it's part of the territory a an employer to have people leave you. Most likely she'll be happy for you because it's what will make you happy and whole. Besides she'll have plenty of time to find a replacement. I'm happy for you, like you said it'll be so much better if you move.

I know - but she hired me thinking I was gunna stay there for a good number of years while she can train me. She has had extreme difficulty finding someone to train, she even said to me "finally, I've find the right person". But you know the whole thing about me not communicating with the dogs properly? And not relaxing around her? Well she had a talk with me the other day, and said that she's postponing my training for two weeks to bring me out of my shell. She even apparently said to the other girl that she's gunna hire another groomer if I don't get my act together, so maybe its not so bad that I'm leaving right?

I just feel so terrible, like I'm totally letting her down. But I just want to go home.
