Wow some great news!
After a bit of too-ing and fro-ing (no idea how to spell that!!!) we
seem to have finally found a buyer for our UK property and i just may
have (fingers crossed) made a profit on a property in a plummeting
market!
I hope to be able to confirm this tomorrow with the agent but we have
in principle accepted an offer on the house.
Started looking at what we can afford in Seoul and defined our
requirements and location for an apartment.
Hopefully soon i can publish this blog to my friends and family and
get into the habit of some more regular updates. I know also that i
need to brush up on my writing style and pace to keep it interesting
for you guys. My main aim for this blog has always been to bring you
with me on this journey to share my lows and highs.... Preparing for
lift off!

Getting fit.
Still nothing happening with the house sale/move yet so the "Seoul Ambition" is still a way off. But we have just returned from a great week in North Wales, what a beautiful country. So, I have decided that I will blog my fitness/weight loss progress here to aid my motivation.
Tonight I am going to start with the belly blaster exercises and tomorrow I plan to walk to work and RUN home from work!
Stage 1 some light reading... How to run! Will probably be following the rather wimpy sounding Run/Walk method. This explained my painful shins whenever I try to run... apparently I need to keep my foot flat and not land on my toes. Hopefully I will survive it.

Update: Reality Dawns
I am still here, here in the UK and here on Seoul Ambition.
What with the recent riots and the uncertainty of international markets there has been a lot of doom and gloom about and unfortunately I have yet to generate any interest in my property. The price is now at £169,990 to hopefully get it appearing in more search results.
On a more positive note, we are off to North Wales soon for a well earned break!
I still want the blog to remain fairly secret and it is still unpublicised and therefore still has no followers, even among the intended audience (my friends and family), The reason for this is that in this socially connected world the Six degrees of separation I believe has been reduced to one or two degrees and I still don't want my employer to know my plans, yet. I am blogging (to myself) less frequently than I intended. But the anticipation is there, when things start moving, when I start moving. An usual story of British Teen undergoing tongue operation to better pronounce Korean left me feeling even more ashamed than usual about my poor Korean, especially upon hearing she had been studying for 2 years and is nearly fluent. Oh the shame!
The waiting is, as I have said getting to me now, especially with selling the house and the move to korea, but also (less importantly) I am waiting with this blog also. The plan I have for it is to Blog during the moving an planning stages, where hopefully the experiences and information I gain will be of use to other people in similar situations. The blog will, hopefully, then develop into an account of my time spent in Korea. At this stage there is also a possibility or extending the blog to include a personal homepage.

3 bedroom semi detached house in Peterborough £172,995
I have dropped the price of the house and it is now being marketed by several agents... Estate agents really annoy me. They appear to be completely lacking in any natural ability to sell anything and really on chance that someone will enter their establishment enquiring about a property they may have on their books if they can be bothered to look for it. However, if it is not on the top of their pile of marketed properties then the chance may just pass them by. And in the event they do this small amount of effort that want what amounts to 2% of the value of the house. 2% !!!! - chancer's... I intend to make them work for it too!
Floor plan looks ok - come on who wants to buy???... 3 Bedroom Semi detached House, Peterborough £172,995
