Re: Today I have .........
I took receipt of my possessions that were still in Coventry plus Foo the dog who 'he' said he didnt want to keep as his long shifts were difficult with her.. understandable but poor Fooey is rather confused.. she'll be fine though, in fact shes settled back with the others nicely and they are all having a big snooze. Im faced with bag upon bag & box upon box of my things and absolutely nowhere to put them lol

Re: Today I have .........
Jem, I have only visited Ireland once, but was so taken with the people and their friendliness I decided to apply for Irish citizenship in 2008. One can do this if one had an Irish grandparent, which I did. Funnily enough she was absolutely HORRIBLE and I couldn't stand her, but her own mother was lovely. I now have dual British and Irish citizenship.
I have never told my Mother of this, I didn't want the row that would have ensued. She couldn't stand her mother-in-law, and unreasonably tarred all the Irish with the same brush!
