Debsy,
I was just thinking about you the other day. I was thinking about the moment i would walk in your apartment building and say hi from Britishexpats!
I am coming in Sept. visa is just around the corner, another 3 weeks max i hope as bond has finally been lodged!!!
Great to hear that Main Beach is treating you well! How do you like the Fruitique on Tedder? Have you tried their yoghurt? its a sin!
good luck!

For the first five months we stayed in a FF rental in Varsity Lakes - it was a great place. We purchased a business on Main Beach and we are now renting permanent and holiday units on Main Beach.
Everything is going well so far. The kids are really happy and my youngest has really started to flourish here. She has motor dyspraxia and is having occupational therapy. She is attending a state school and he teacher is excellent - it is a bit of a drive for me in the mornings but it is worth it. I was thinking about putting them into private education, but I have had a look at some of the schools and I will be keeping them in the state system for the time being.
I have not been homesick for the Uk, as for those who remember me will know that I have not lived there for years. I do however, sometimes feel like I have a cloud over my head when I miss my mates on the Med - like my old mate Phoenixuktooz used to tell me it is people sickness not home sickness
Nothing to complain about so far as I have now got a front loader washing machine and a $100 dollar rebate from the Council as it has a 4A water rating
Dont get time to watch tele so I dont know if it is crap
If anyone has any questions please dont hesitate to ask.

Re: Hello from the Gold Coast
Do you have a website for taking bookings, or could you PM me your details. It would be great to have somewhere to stay from the BE forum.
We are looking at Varsity Lakes but need somewhere to stay when we come out for a scouting holiday next March.
Cheers and I'm really pleased that the GC is working out for you all.
