Yep, we'll meet up then!
I'm in Bunbury at the moment(at my parents), and this week is very busy with all sorts of stuff,including cleaning the house before the arrival of the visitors!!! And then they arrive on Sunday!!

Good luck settling in, hope you're enjoying yourself

hello Simone and Bordy,
well the job is just what I was doing in Melly but I am not a supervisor, Which sucks, also the wage is a HELL of a lot lower here than In Mel, I have also gone for a job as a Training Officer within the same company, so I am gong to start and see what becomes of it, I am not planning on staying if I dont get moved to the Training Officer position as I refuse to work for buttons, Especially when the cost of living is so high here compared to Melbourne, everything apart from milk is more expensive and the house prices - I cannot believe people r actually still buying at these prices :scared: !!!!

I miss Melbourne, but the weather here sure makes up for it I just need to be rich to live here........

Hi Chef and Laura

For about the past year there has been a group of us meeting up every Thursday at Hillarys. Everyone is welcome to come along- even people here on their recce have been known to stop by and new people turn up regularly- some have only been off the plane a matter of hours! We meet at the Dome coffee shop about 12- usually at the outdoor seating opposite the Dome but recently we have turned into a bunch of wimps and have been sitting inside to avoid the chilly 20 degree cold It isn't the most child friendly of places - if we are inside they can't run around but the Dome supply colouring pencils and paper and I usually have books and stuff for my 2 year old so it isn't usually a problem. It's school holidays at the moment so although the meet is on it may be a bit quieter than usual this Thursday. After that though we'll all be back in force
See you there

Hi Laura- I know, it can be difficult for those who are working to get to meet ups. A couple of the regular girls have started working and we don't see them nearly as much, however, we try to get nights out now and again- usually in Joondalup. It's been a bit quiet recently but things will pick up again after the winter with meet ups in the park and such. I was going to organise a trip to the cinema this week- will keep you posted!

Laura is a friend of mine....used to live here in Melbourne.
Whoever meets her....give her a big hug from me...and take care of her

YFitz

Will do
