Good morning - I'd like to introduce myself

[ssbib]

Welcome to the forum from me too ssbib I'm different to the others, a white British female living in UK, I don't have a Filipino partner but do have 3 nephews living in Philippines and have been there 4 times. My story is in the Legal section of this forum and is entitled "Desperately seeking help for my brother"

Hope you enjoy it here!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm enjoying the community spirit here already and have lots of helpful advice. I've even started to gather documents now for the wedding. Nothing too much yet, just copying my passport and birth certificate etc. while I have access to a photocopier tomorrow.

That IS hell

Definitely. Although a roller coaster isn't far behind for me. Went on one with my fiance when she was here in July. I hadn't been on one in about 10 years and was really looking forward to it. HATED IT! Never again.
