Essex

Char&Bump-x · Feb 8th, 2009, 16:00 PM

Oh wants to move to essex, he's really serious about it, his sister and her OH are moving there and he wants to go too. Obviously i dont have to go, and at the moment things are not brilliant between us, so i dont think i would now. But he's talking 6/12 months down the line.

Who is from essex?

What is it like, nice areas? Rough areas? Cheap/Expensive?

I wouldnt know anybody there apart from the OHs sister, so i'd really have to meet new people and make new friends. Also i'd be four hours away from my family.

I know its a bit of a crappy vague post and i dont really know what i'm asking. I suppose i just want to know what Essex is like lol

Hi

I am from Essex, I have lived in Romford, worked in Grays and Harlow and now live in South Woodham Ferrers. Essex is very large and some arears are really really nice and some or not as nice. If you know where abouts you may move to I may be of some help.

Thankyou, i dont know where at the moment, i will try find out x

You can be an essex girl lol!! If i ever go to other parts of the country everyone thinks im from essex lol.

I dont live too far from Essex (about 30 mins) and as Tory said some parts are ok but some are a bit rough, you get that wherever you go though. If you are really thinking about it id suggest you go down there for the weekend and have a drive around and check out some of the places and see what you think.

Ohh my auntie lives in Herts, didnt realise it was that close!
I suppose its very near Luton aswel then?

I think i'm just gonna stop worrying about it til he decides what he wants to do. Stressing me out already lol

Urrrm Luton is about 45 mins drive away depending on where in Essex you are ...

Harlow is about 30 mins away from me and im near Stevenage. Its a good place to be really, Essex isnt far from London so theres always plenty to do!!

They're looking at Enfield. Going to go google that and see where it is now lol
