Following your move to Oz, what are you glad you won't have to do any more?
 

For me, I am so glad that I won't have to be standing on North Acton Tube Station, in the dark and cold on a winter's evening, looking at the depressing graffitied brick walls of the railway, waiting for a Ruislip train.......

Anything you're glad you don't have to do any more?

Go and visit family at Christmas!

Not having to drive to Tescos or visit Next ;) One thing that always wound me up around Christmas or Easter would be wanting to nip to our nearest Waitrose and having to queue to get into the carpark. I'd see the queue, swear and drive away again.

My husband's main hate that he never wants to face again is scraping ice off the windscreen.

Work and not have to put up with my MIL copying everything I buy or do:mad:

Go to a bloody Post Office with an MOT, insurance certificate and registration documents to try and tax my car, only to be told that "We don't offer that service at this branch" or worse still find they have closed early on a Wednesday afternoon...

I think that is what turned me again Christmas. Every year having to try and please everyone. Spending hours on the M62 and M6 to get to go visit the outlaws when in 12 years of living down south not once did anybody come to ours even when invited.

Drive up and down the M6:curse:

Taking 30 mins to travel 3 miles on a saturday !!.

Packed london trains. Had to laugh at this today http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...9-3102,00.html

"The Courier-Mail travelled on the 7.20am train from Robina to Brisbane last week to see if conditions had eased on the 70-minute trip – but the service was so overcrowded people were forced to stand or sit in aisles."

Ha Ha... stand on a train.. watch the 5th train go train past without room for 1 more person.

Getting up (in what feels like the middle of the night) and taking my dog for a walk in the cold, damp and wet outside. At least here its a joy to wake up to the sun shining through my window.

Definitely won't miss North Acton Tube station or waiting for the bus at the station or Acton in general.

Freeze my tit off!

4 hours of daily commuting into and out of London, and the smelly armpits of unwashed men on the Waterloo and City line.
