Still dont know what to do about moving my husband is actually a fiberous plasterer which we dont think there is much call for that , he can also do alot of other constuction work but at the moment we are thinking again about what to do.We have aloud ourselves 2 years to have a good look at things and what oppourtunities are available if any.Like i said earlier our friends have been looking and advertising but nothing seems to be happening they dont want to come back to the uk but if they dont find work shortly they will have to is the grass greener on the other side.    Report
