I couldn't agree more with you Purple... I miss my life there too
But oh well, as long as we have a loving husband and also friends here in the UK, we still have a good life as long as we're healthy that's the most important thing..
It help us to be more independent and responsible though without any housemaids or even relatives to help to and these I can be proud of.. I'm grown up woman now ( oh well I'm tryin )
As Sars said " We have the best of both worlds now. Our life is exciting coz we have somethin to look forward to---holidays/living in Phils and UK..

Have a good day all...
