I have therefore decided to take a break for a while and try and get my life back on track and put Australia on the back burner for now before it totally takes over my life. I don't plan to disappear totally just for a few more weeks. I just wanted to come back to say thanks for all the laughs and good advice. You are some of the most friendly , supportive people I have ever come across and amaze me at times with your sensitivity and kindness. I would also like to thank those who replied to my daughters posts and will pass on all the emails that were sent. I am sure she will be in touch soon :) . I've noticed that there appears to be quite a few newbies on here since I last visited. Hello to you all and I hope you find this forum as helpful as I have :) I'll hopefully be back soon, take care everybody and good luck to those who are waiting for TRAs, visas and house buyers. Fingers crossed. Tracey |

Tracey Have you concidered renting your house out, could that be a option for you? :) The whole selling process is a nightmare, today I've read that porperty prices have fallen again for the 14th month. Good luck and keep your chin up! ;) |

Tracey,
Don't worry about the sniping......the forum goes through cycles. Isn't the first time.....won't be the last. You got a for sale sign up ? Go out and turn it around. Now, I don't know if you saw this first time I posted it but it's a good one anyway. Hope it cheers you up a little. Double click the image and if you stare long enough at the greenery you will be able to make out a giraffe. Do you see it ? Keep smiling and stay positive :) I will reserve your place in my den ;) |
Re: Hello and Goodbye
Have pm'd you Tracey, and sent karma.
Keep your chin up. Julie X |
