A very wholesome family and granddaughter! I'd never worry about kids like that adapating. I was a total loner in my first year and struggled with, of all things, bullies lol. Not really punching me or talking to me but kind of scoffing at me, whispering like 'Go back to rock school' and such.
Second year is when I really landed and found my voice. I mean, I'm still a loner lol but under my terms.
I'm sure this doesn't need to be said but if you or she needs any help in the UK, gimme a nudge! I'll hopefully be there in a few months too. Main advice though: Stay away from London! More dangerous now than it's ever been and getting rapidly worse, I hear.
Regarding: Isle of man is not part of the UK.
Always makes me chuckle. I mean, yeah its true, and I prefer them to officially not be, it's cool. I just think like... it kinda is part of the UK, if we're being real lol.
Ok hopefully they don't read this or they'll ban me from entry.
(PS: I'm aware my writing quality here is rock bottom, rushing to clock out and head home!)
OMG...what does that ever mean? Makes them sound like Neanderthals. I've never been a groupy, either. I think I found my voice early, because my family was always on the 'outside'--kind of a public scandal because we were so poor and yet part of a very important 'clan'. Respectable and unrespectable at the same time. A prescription for independence :))
Thank you for the offer to help if my granddaughter needs to be 'rescued'. I'm not likely to ever use that offer, but it's really great to hear it, and know that, hypothetically, help exists.
As for the Isle of Man; their website is defensively emphatic. Not part of the UK. Meanwhile, as my daughter traveled there she assumed she was traveling in the UK. I'm so happy you will be in the UK--I hope this means you and your wife finally will be allowed to immigrate.
Be happy my friend, @mobbs. It sounds as though you are.
Something we should all somehow strive to accomplish heh.
Yeah of course haha It's just a thing you say just in case some bizarre series of events happens - hopefully never!
My lips are sealed...
More than I can remember - but it won't stop me complaining ;)
But, you too!
