Would you swap your lifestyle for mine?

That hypothetical question is impossible to answer as neither of us know what each others life is really like. I know that I would love to be able to produce jobs of your standard but you have mentioned the word "children" before and that is something that I've absolutely no interest in at all!

Haha I was more kinda being a lot more general than that Paul, give me strength oh Lord. Haha

On a very shallow level Paul would you choose lifestyle A. or B.?

A. Get to do this kind of work, but......Live amongst the hustle bustle that is London, where it took me approximately 90-120 mins to get to work and sometimes longer to get home everyday. (13 miles away) Having to deal with site agents on a daily basis who know less than the ground workers outside, and who really don’t give a damn about what your job entails. Where the cost of living is bloody absurd and costs up to £150 a week just to take your car to work let alone run it. Blah blah

Or........

B. Do mainly remedial work...... and live where you do, with the weather being so much kinda than here. Enjoying a much slower pace of life, where everything is put off until tomorrow. Where everyone and everything appears to be much more chilled out.

I know what I’d chose.

I would have to say B. However, the grass is very rarely as green as it appears on the other side...

I don’t think that greener is the word I’d use Paul, just different, and yes it is somewhat appealing as I get older and older and bloody older haha

I honestly would really struggle to live in the UK now. Life, in general, is much better here but I'm working harder for less money than I ever have!

Spose there’s always some kind of trade off? eh Paul.

.....and things are evolving in my working life which should mean the work/life balance getting a bit better.

Kool, that sounds promising mate. You’re not the type to jump the gun, so the fact that you’ve mentioned it must mean you stand a good chance. Good news mate.
