Proofreader - no problems, this is the 4th one, so Ive pretty well got it down pat . As you said, I do do my homework, lifes tough when you have to drag the kids around to different spots just to see if its suitable for a large number of expats to converge on it .

So far the list is

Dagboys (2+2 kids)
mlbonner (2+1 kid)

Dear Mrs.Dagboys,
If the 8th jan is a Saturday, then we would love to come along. I work on Sundays so its a bit of a problem. Rob, me (Louisa) and our 10 year old daughter Madison will be there. Just had the Gold Coast meet last Sunday (Blagged a sickie from work that day!!!) so we would love to do another, Regards Louisa (Robertd)

Bix

I could probably make 1st April.

MrsDagboy

Polly, its even quiet over there .

Louisa, yes, the 8th is definitely a Saturday, glad to see a few people from the GC coming up .

Bixy, stop teasing me, nasty man

Pollyana

:scared: You're right!! Hey, where is everybody??!

sloake

On the 8th of Jan we will be touching down in sunny BrisVegas, so raise a glass for us, and hopefully we will be able to get along to the next meet

I think that a lot of people are settling into a normal life here in Australia, making new local friends, doing things locally that people do, and gradually moving away from the "virtual" lives that they have created whilst waiting for the move over here.

Instead of sitting at the computer to see what's happening, they may be sitting at Southbank, or at a park somewhere, or even just working

Pollyana

Guess I'm just not normal then. I'll consider myself rebuked!!

mlbonner

I'm enjoying both at the moment - between meeting with people from this site and work/friends/partner & his family/sports teams I've joined etc etc I don't think I've ever had such an active social life! I can honestly say now (which I dont think I could have said with as much conviction a month ago) that I'm loving it over here & keeping pretty busy. I guess accordingly my time on here is less and less.... just not enough hours in the day for everything

ABCDiamond

Depends on an individuals definition of "normal"

Take myself for example; my normal life for years has been sitting in front of a computer for hours on end. Now I have the chance to do other things, but what do I choose to do ? To sit in front of a ****** computer !! (But this time not getting paid for it !! But at least I fill the gaps with the odd walk on the beach, or sitting in the garden
