Steve, I have been back her for almost 6 weeks now, I cant find any work suitable for me to do (its not my top priority) but i do apply when i see something thats suitable. I dont have family, and i live in a retirement block,
Im probably the youngest here at 64 and to be perfectly honest i dont think i can stay here,the feeling i get and its how i feel somedays, is that Im living here and just waiting till its my turn to pop my cloggs
(you did ask) so i know for a fact Im not going to hang around waiting for that day. A very close friend that i know down here, is moving away later this month (to Stowmarket) in fact i am moving them, so that again doesnt help. I will either move back to the Midlands where my roots are, or the other option is the Philippines Im not saying the Philippines is second choice far from it, its been on my mind for a few years now, thats why Im a member on here.
I divorced a few years ago, and since that time
i have had a couple of relationships with Filipinos, I went there to meet them, 3+ years ago and recently, getting them here is not an option now due to the Income stipulation, 3 years ago it was but when i got back to the UK the lady that i had been to visit told me she was already married
so that was a major set back for many reasons, not least every year that went past my option of getting anyone here diminished. I was working at that time so forming a new relationship wasnt easy as we all know, and doesnt happen overnight, eventually i did, and went to meet her back in January i always told her that getting her here to the UK was not an option for reasons i gave above. Yes we met and got along well up to a point, she has a lovely family up in the mountains of Mindanao, but theres always a but
in my life, we also had disagreements, and since i have been back i have decided that its not what i want for numerous reasons.
Yes i obviously want to form a relationship but it has to be for the right reasons, meanwhile i will carry on and have 12 months weighing up the options. Jeez Im rambling on here hope Im not boring you all.

... at least partial exemption from the Government's stringent Minimum Income Rules once you reach retirement age. Therefore, with this in mind, I've spent some time trawling the internet ... eventually coming across [what I hope] a will prove a useful link to the undernoted Government website:
