The church I mentioned is born again church, bit like the Jesus is Lord oufit in the Phils and elsewhere, very relaxed and not at all stressful and dour like RC.,, well we go for the social LOL... you sound like you are upset that you are no longer working, missing the challenge.
take a tip...enjoy your pregancy ...and oh you do not get your life back when it comes out LOL even with the support of a nanny...the little angels demand and deserve your full time attention.. just be a full on full time mum for a bit, very rewarding.. although my honey always has some money making scheme going on as well hehehehehehe.

There can be the issue of the working Filipino couples here snubbing you because they think you have it easy being married to a whitey, does happen but also some Filipinas here married to us Brits can also get a bit above themselves and ignore their kin folk.

I am not sure how you are going to make yourself happy but try thinking I only HAVE 2 YEARS here to experience Rome, Paris, Edinburgh, Skye, Prague, Venice, Vienna, Berlin etc etc, and all the other beautiful sights of Europe and the UK.. wow you had better get started/// and not think like well I only have to stuck here for 2 more years, Change your mind set to a positive attiude.

I am not lecturing, just suggesting , I do hope you come to enjoy being her

take care young lady and good luck with your baby

Purple,
Have you considered doing any part time adult education?
I realise it will cost some money, but it will provide a diversion for you in an area of common interest. The variety, range and depth of courses is stunning.
When I was younger I would always have a couple on the go.

I can't help but rant because I don't sense any warmth in this country at all. People seldom smile even though you smile to them first...only seldom people who would smile back.[/QUOTE]

AGREE......

Sometimes the British 'reserve' can be mistaken for rudeness. It's just our way with 'strangers'.

If a pretty Filipina smiled at me in this country, I'd be shocked ...and then look behind me to see who she was REALLY smiling at.
