WOW! Congratulations SMS. Very well done, and very good news about the cholesterol and gout! (And the other things, lol!) I have been reading this thread with interest, as I have fought to lose 8 extra kg with insane amounts of exercise. I figured that I could eat whatever I wanted if I ran a few 5k...

Poor cat. :-( I recently ended up with a kitten I found in a drain. I hadn't meant to adopt it, but from looking online, it seems that most strays are put down, simply because there are too many to cope with. The Cat Welfare society are asking very kind people to catch, spay and return strays to whe...

Yes, it is good to make a start by deciding where you might be living or working. Have a good look at the Good Schools guide website or ISC's for all the schools in that area.

Thanks very much - very kind of you!

Thanks so much mslee; I am in lovely, warm,lush Singapore at this very moment looking for somewhere to live, and trying to figure out what Saturday music schools are available, (and how to get him in!). I went to have a look at Nangyang Academy of Young Talents, but Boy#2 is just below their entry r...

Thanks SMS, your sage advice much appreciated!

Thanks for both your replies;

My hubby will be there from April, with us following in July, so I need to sort this music thing out!

Hiya, My DH is planning to move us all to Singapore in September 2011, and this forum has been a godsend! Both my boys attend the Royal College of Music in London and it is really important that they carry on with their studies. Does anyone send their kids to Tanglewood or Cristofori or Mandeville m...
