G'day my little Aussie dwellers - can report to all those homeward bound that all is still well in the UK - sun and a few April showers this week - about 13/14degrees here on the south coast. All the trees are weighed down by blossom
and although food prices seem to have gone up considerably, clothes are cheaper than ever.

House prices have come down slightly and it is such a buyers market at that the moment and with the price of the £ against the AUD you should be rolling in it

To those of you still stuck out in Oz do not despair we will be waiting for you with open arms in the motherland whenever you are ready to return

How much is a prawn sannie now from M&S then?

talbot

Two slices of bread, butter, thousand island dressing and defrosted prawns -
Simple really!

Surely you're not leaving hemispheres for that?
I'd understand if you want to leave Perth for any excuse though!!

About £3
He's this alapaca farmer who lives in Oz and used to post in the Barbie - haven't seen any posts from him recently but he is not fond of Oz and was hilarious and spot on with some of the things he used to say about the place.

I leave three weeks today, can't wait, your post has made me more impatient! I feel like I'm being released from prison and am going to get my life back - wey hey!

Dude, read one the first posts in this thread and you'll notice I said NO BUTTER...jeez, you didn't work in my local sandwich shop did you? They always put butter on the bread when I specifically asked them not to!!!

...and yes, I am leaving the Southern Hemisphere just for a prawn sandwich, I've heard rumours that in a cave, high up on Aconcagua mountain int he Andes, there live's a 150 year old Peruvian women called Asdajandra Tescjo who, allegedly makes wholemeal loaf and sells it for less than $3, I've also heard her cave is open on a Sunday and after 5pm at night, not just on a Thursday.
Once I secured the fabled bread I have then chartered a trawler to take me to the North Atlantic where we shall catch the prawns.
I have hired the services of a top French chef and together we shall create the worlds finest prawn sandwich.....with no butter

Count me in. I want to go back too, right now

I think her neighbour is Marcos Spenceros who keeps sheep, spins the wool and makes fine clothes from it. Oh, and he whips up some fab furnishings too. Very talented those folk in the Andes eh?

Only a few more days left for you..........you lucky, lucky , lucky.......

Jumbo_Celcius

No, I'll think you'll find Marcos Spenceros moved to New York and his brother Aldi Sainsborous took over his business!!
Your last senence got me all excited and I think I've just peed in my pants!!

I am on countdown as well but as I look around me this morning I do not know where to start with the decluttering before the serious stuff gets packed. So I thought buggar it I will spend quality time on the pc. 10 days to go........ Just spoke to housing agent, they took £250 deposit from me to hold a property I have seen on internet. My friend is popping round now to check it out although I know the street very well and there are photos on agent website they insist on a personal visit. I think I have a home to go to as well as securing a job start May 6th as May 5th is a Bank Holiday....Just thinking, your days go faster than mine as we are 5hrs behind UK
