Default Home at last!!!!!!!!!!!!

well after nine weeks of moving from one place to another we re finally in our new home and its FANBLOODYTASTIC
We oved into our new pad in Thorneside last monday and our container arrived on tuesday.....phew...what a week we ve had getting sorted out,but what a thrill to see all our things again after soooo,,,,,,,,,,,,long.
Its really great to wake up in th morning to the sunshine,even in the middle of winter,it gives you a lift straight away,and the wildlife,wow ive never seen so many colourful birds in my garden,its brill....although they are bloody noisey,but you cant have everything ,We re just opposite a park where they play tennis footbll and netball ect,so gary was over there at the weekend watching the footie,we v got lovely pool with a waterfall,not quite warm enough to go swimming yet,but im sure it wont be long before it is...cant wait....we ve got double garage and a rumpus room as well as 4 beds and 2 bths,folks back home wont believe it ...would o swap my little 3 bed semi without a garage back home...uuurrrr ...naaahhhhh.

We ve bought a car,not to mention all the other bits and pieces we ve had to get,and had to find,its not so easy when you dont know excactly where to go for what,and we ve only just got connected to the net today so i could ask my cyber friends,but we ve managed,and along the way found alot of places we didnt realise existed,and im sure they ll be plenty more yet.
Kerry didnt waste any time getting ll her posters up,shes really made her room hers,if you know what i mean,and the rumpus room is her little den.
Gary had his first interview on monday and they want to see him again on friday,so fingers crossed for him....heres hopeing.
Well ive got to say,it really feels like home here,i would never have thought it would so soon,anyone wanna one round for coffee

i will come round for coffee, oh i cant we are in WA. i agree with everything you say, i opened the curtains this morning and there was 2 beautiful parrots on the table, i ran to get the camera, but they went. there are beautiful clean parks everywhere, no needles or rubbish. We are having a big house built at the moment, for the price of a semi in UK [i better not go on about it again ].I cant wait to move in and empty the t chests and put my photos up. Have a great life over there, Denise

Hi Tracey,

By the way, my eldest has decided she's definitely coming now so I'll give her kerrys msn addy. thanks for that,

Tracey
