sorry to hear its not going to well with you-know-who either ... you predicted that too, didnt you.

Hey Debs - sounds tricky - but i don't know the full story - (feel free to fill me in on a pm if you get time).

Tom and Jade are due to fly on 30 Nov from Sydney - Tom going back to sunny sheff and jade to see her mum in Skegness and then to the village (Creswell) for a week or two to see her grandad and aunts.

Tom has been watching the footy on foxtell here and he is always on the blades online watching video clips of footy.

What would be a great idea is...when you find your feet and have settled more, come for a visit to Canberra - just cost you a flight and bit of spending cash. We don't have much room - but you could squeeze in somewhere.

Keep working hard and fishing hard too - tom caught fish the very first time he went fishing last month - OH was well P****ed of! Tasted fab too.

Sarah

He is coming back in January at the end of the month.

He has decided to complete his apprenticeship out here. He has even talked of staying out here but maybe moving to Sydney or melbourne.

I should have realised it would take him a lot longer to settle here - he has always hated change of anysort - extremely set in his ways - very stubborn.

But if he does go back to the UK he is going to get his citizenship first.

Sleep well

Sarah
