What ever they are paying you it isn't enough

Thursday December 31 2009

What a day to start a blog. The last of the year and snow on the ground. On Monday the packers will arrive and pack up my home to ship it off to Sao Paulo in Brazil , (just in case you didn't know where it is). This will be my 8th international move in 13 years. I am such an old hand at this that although I have a million and one things to do I am going to make time to write this blog. I have always wanted to write about the experience of all these different countries that we have lived in , and although it sounds glamorous, the reality is that it can be extremely hard work, frustrating and very tough. I am not a writer by profession, in fact I used to be an International Banker in the days when "banker" wasn't such a dirty word. But for the past 13 and a half years I have put my career on the back burner to concentrate on being a Corporate wife, mother, and removal expert . The reason for the name of my blog - that is easy. I can't tell you the number of times things have not gone according to plan and when that happens the words tumble from my mouth " What ever they are paying you it isn't enough"!
