I would just like to say that I too feels very lucky to be here in the UK. To me it is a privileged to be here.
I left Philippines nearly 19 years ago, to be with my husband. I left without any qualification, let alone the ability to understand what people are saying. But that was then.
Now, when I talk to people, they just assume that I was born in this county. (Apparently, I've only got Lancashire accent!!)
What is more, I have a good job, a nice home here and in the Philippines, plus a loving husband and healthy children. I also get to go back to the Philippines as and when needed.
