I kent fit ye meant!
I'm stuck down here because of my husband's job. Or it feels like 'stuck' because I never wanted to come in the first place!
But, if I'm truthful, It's not that bad here really. Career-wise it was a good move for me.
However, in all the years I've spent awa from Aberdeen - every time we drive north, when I get to about Laurencekirk I get a feeling in my chest. I suppose it's like a sort of homing instinct. Being in the north-east feels physically right for me - and nowhere else does. Sorry if that's a bit heavy.
Hiv ye still got snow?
Eh?

Since moving back to Scotland, I'm coming across these thick and fast, stuff that I thought only my father said (he was from around Lanarkshire ?sp) One you've mentioned that might contradict how I'm hearing it used:
Fi' like?
From the context I've heared it seems to mean "are you ready? as in - we're going now, are you ready to come with us? It might be an Aberdeen thing or just my misunderstanding.
