Her fear seems crippling. There are many people on the Tasmanian Insects and Spiders FB group who have desensitised themselves by looking at spider pics and learning about them.
She's the same
I think i will have to wait until we both retire, wife works for NHS and is tied to the pension, I want to retire at 55. I can work from anywhere on main land UK.

The tax was purely for owning two homes. So once the one in England sold, we only had one. So my solicitor arranged a refund.I think i will have to wait until we both retire, wife works for NHS and is tied to the pension, I want to retire at 55. I can work from anywhere on main land UK.
We are concerned about the health care situation in Scotland as I have an expensive medication that I had to be approved for. House we have in Cornwall is next to the doctors surgery but since buying they are now moving it
There are so many things to think about when making a big move.
Is it if it's your main residence you get the additional tax back as in England and Wales or is it if you own more than 1 you are stuffed either way in Scotland. I have looked into it but the regs keep changing.
We did even discuss leaving UK but I can’t see that ever happening.
Maybe an island life is the best way to go!?The tax was purely for owning two homes. So once the one in England sold, we only had one. So my solicitor arranged a refund.
I can’t speak for the health services on the mainland, but here on Islay they are pretty good. No long waits to get through on the phone, urgent appointments usually the same day. Non urgent usually just a few days. We have a small hospital, anything beyond them but urgent, the patient is flown to Glasgow. Routine hospital visits to Glasgow - they provide a plane ticket. There’s a team of specialist nurses, and others visit regularly. So we are pretty well looked after
I wanted to retire at 55. Failed. Made my escape at 60
Certainly was vocal, which is why I was even more surprised
I had to look that up
i thought you Aussies weren't supposed to be educated, especially the more remote you were. I'm English and therefore superior 
I was born in Oxford and received education to grade 3 at Botley County Primary school.I had to look that up
My superior English stands then if you are from & educated here. Just a shame they forgot to educate me
I dropped out due to ill health, I'm still pretty useless
we discuss it, but with no seriousness, i use the NHS a lot, hoping to retire at 55 but wife is NHS nurse and tied to final salary pension and currently is thinking of staying on till 60.
Love Cornwall & Scotland. Problem with Scotland is the midges, NHS waiting times and massive tax on buying a property and then more if you own others. My ideal would have been to have one in Scotland for part of the year and another in Cornwall. Nice remote place in Scotland away from all the crowds would be bliss.
Birdman seems to be absent also
I'm sure I read a couple of posts from him the other day
There were a few heated debates from 2 obviously strong characters with totally different experiences. I always hope I don't upset people with my attempts at humour, being as it's the sarcastic self deprecating type, but it's easy to get misunderstood when not in person and not everyone has done the correct thing yet and started to only speak English
For clarification, that's me taking the pee out of us English because we can't be bothered to learn a foreign language and expect everyone else to understand us, as it should be
Thankfully I figured out how to do them on my computer which tells me what each face is whereas my phone doesn't and it's so small I might pick the wrong one anyway
Stu is the founder of this enterprise and I came along later - too late to be a founding guard. Interestingly enough, Stu's member number is 8, not 1, and he has no real explanation of whyI'm sure I read a couple of posts from him the other day

I try to use emojis to express these things but as I'm old I might get them mixed up
Anyway, shame he's gone if he was a lifetime supporter, and I know, I need to do something to in way of support for the site, just running a bit tight for the next few months whilst selling a property
How did Tazz get a founding guard banner
And Stu & Kraabby, did they set all this up or was it just Stu?
