There I was sunning myself on Coolangatta beach and it suddenly struck me.....where's the Proof Reader ?

In the evening I went to a lovely Italian restuarant and as I was supping a bottle of Merlot I thought....bet she wished she was here now.

Take care and do all the things you should whilst back on that side of the world.

Have fun

You haven't missed much, Kala, but it's MrPR's visa we need to get sorted - I'm an Aussie (thank heavens!) I must admit to having to stretch my imagination to find the 'things I should do back on this side' - there really doesn't seem a lot!

Yup, Bloss, I'm here ... suffering the damnable "piggin'" cold! Just trying to get ourselves sorted with accommodation now that we have jobs. Will give you a 'hoy' after that and I'll take you up on that offer of a wee drop or two! Btw, was that your place in yesterday's (8th June) Rasen Mail by any chance?

Sent you some good luck karma
Thanks, PFM, for the luck and the karma.

Get back here! I need you to keep me sane with your warped sense of humour! I've got this lovely big veranda now, and it needs us on it with a bottle of red!!
WHAT??? Only "A" bottle of red?!! Wish I could, luvvie ... wish I could ... *sigh*

I would have noticed you were gone eventually

Enjoy your time in Blighty, its warmer than here! (I'm sitting here with a hot water bottle and a fleece on).

Cheers,
JTL
Are you trying to say that you'd like me to get all melodramatic then, JTL?! Oh FFS, how can you possibly have missed me? All those bloody boring posts I've made? And what sort of a wus are you anyway? Bloody hot water bottle and a fleece in a sub-tropical winter - pah!

Ok, that's enough crap - good to hear from you.

Arrived in UK two weeks ago today. Spent the first few days with my brother in Swindon then motored north-east to MrPR's family in Lincs. It's bloody freezing here and has rained most days - so much for spring turning to summer. Cooped up here in a tiny single bedroom (yes, two of us) with narry enough room to swing a cat. Desperately looking for a job - any job - to get us an income and into our own place. Another week and I'll have to try my hand at factory work, but trying hard to avoid it if possible (I've never done it before - never been so low and so desperate!) Anyway, that's it in a nutshell from me.

I'd logged on with great anticipation and looking forward to catching up with those who'd missed me, only to find ... that NO-ONE did. Not a PM, not an email, not a mention anywhere, nothing!

Oh well, guess it could be a while 'til I can access a connection again, don't s'pose I'll be missed ...

* Sniff *





Typically, when I tried to post this just now, the connection had dropped out. Just my luck at the moment! Grrrrr.


Just spotted this thread.....

Blimey Chris, I was wondering where you'd got to!

Welcome back to England's green and pleasant land.

Sorry, Pen ... but I'm not taking the p*ss. I happen to think it's a brilliant word to replace another one!

Guess I'll just have to stick to "freezin' me firkin' t!ts orft" then?!

HI Chris, hope your getting over your piggin cold!! Not sure about Rasen Mail, never seen it, but we were in Grimsby Telegraph last week.


BTW, if you are working around Grimsby and have transport, I may have a place to rent! PM me if you are interested.
