Oh cockney would be fun to learn about! Their dialect is pretty cool....and they have rhyming slang too....really interesting!

It must be quite daunting to think that you have to start a new life for a short while, especially if you're suffering from depressing at the mo. My Mam suffers from it (she was really poorly last summer but is on medication now and she's a different woman!) and she found it really difficult to leave the house. Like you say, it's the opportunity of a life time and I think you'll feel really empowered when you're doing it. You'll realise just how strong a person you actually are......I'd love to do it!

As for picking up other accents, I'm the same!! If I hang around with someone for too long I start to mimic them! haaa! Especially scottish people...eeeek!
