I won't say it was my man to man chat with Barek after I got him re elected that did it.  But maybe. 8)

Anyway I am pleased to hear that all has come well.  You have had quite a few ups and downs in recent years.  But it is all up from now on.

Gerry, way to give a better meaning to the 12 days of Christmas.

I rate this news a 10 as you must feel like a Lord a Leaping.

Great to hear Gerry!!!! :) :) :)

Your plan on the Christmas surprise, I would even take a step further. How about having Fiona placed into a huge box (wrapped) and have it delivered by someone you know and trust to your Mom's house that day as a Gift for her (her new daughter in-law).

One of my Cousin (male) boxed himself at X-mas and came to his Girlfriend to propose for marriage to her. The most romantic thing I ever saw.

Anyway, enjoy your new less stressful Life now and your new house in-waiting!

I read about a Chinese guy that did that.  The package got delivered to the wrong address, and he damn near died.

David E is right Gerry.

I remember your post first post on this thread more than two years ago. You finished it and said. "I am going to stay in Guangzhou and pursue the woman I came here to meet."  You certainly kept your word.

I know I lambasted you and when you first came on with your proposals in other quarters   Since then you have certainly proved to me and everyone just what sort of person you really are.  You may consider yourself lucky to have found someone like Fiona but she is also lucky to have found you.  Together you have gone through all the trials an tribulations in the past two years and although at times you have got low in your self you have stuck with it and now you are in the position that others are still waiting for.

You have a great time ahead of you in your new home.
