Thanks for the invite moneypen20. Would have loved to have come but unfortunately the Mrs works between 12 and 5.30 every Sunday. It's probably a bit short notice to try and book the day off now. I'll ask but if not we'll just have to try and make the next one.

Have a great time if we don't make it and hopefully meet you all soon.

Would also be good to hear from any one already living around Brisbane/gold coast areas.

Hi Elksa,
Congratulations on getting your visas - it's a fab feeling!!!
We are heading for Brisbane as soon as the house is sold (which better be soon coz we're desperate to go), so hopefully we will be there before April/May next year!!!
We have a little boy who's 2 yrs old, so he would make a great paymate for your 2 yr old.
Once I get to Brissie, I will be going on the next Brisbane Girls Drinking Club night out as well!!!

Re: Billy no (aussie) mates!!!

Hi I'd love to meet up with you all too but I'm having problems with DIMIA so I'll be a lot later than I had hoped. Hope you all have a fab time out & hope to catch up with you all before long. Just spare me a thought while your living it up in Brisbane, & have a few drinks on my behalf
