After that we're moving to America. Mrs G's family is in the Indianapolis area, and she would really like to be nearer to them. We have two little children and one of them has a medical condition, so being nearer to family makes a lot of sense for Mrs G.
I have been in talks with one prospective employer, though as yet, I do not have anything lined up. Hopefully that will change soon.
There's loads to sort out. We just put our house up for sale today. Given the current climate we might get about £1.50, but the good news is that equates to almost $3, so we should be OK!

Big changes beckon Rev., hope it works out well for you. You'll be quids in over there though, I'm sure I read a few months ago that 40% of Americans attend a religious service weekly compared with a far smaller proportion (OK, I can't remember) in the UK. I predict a descent into ghastly TV evangelism, a fleet of Ferraris and a house made of solid gold within three years.
And RedExile - I don't know when you decided that but I saw it coming just from the tone of some of your posts on here mate. I'm sorry it's not worked out for you mate - my impression was that you'd come home and then found out that home isn't here any more. That cant be easy. (Apologies if incorrect...)
