Cath was reading a thing on extreme sports.
http://radar.smh.com.au/archives/200...e_close_u.html
Found this on there.
Extreme ironing Take an ironing board, an iron and a pile of crumpled clothing in a canoe, underwater, to a forest or to the top of a mountain and there's your extreme sport. There's even talk of making it an Olympic sport
See if Paul wants to try it.
Take care and speak soon.

Ok.. Details.....

Julie and Tim from Widnes hoping to move to the brisbane area (got relations there) so probably going to go on a 496 as Tim is in IT and going by alot of the posts on here thats not a good trade to get poins on (looks to be a bit of a minefield)

We have 4 children between us 12,10,8,4 and no telly

only 3 will be comming with us as the 8 year old lives with his mum 300 miles away...

We are just starting out on this paper case journey and would like any info, tricks, what to do's/not do's..

Its really good to see how many people pass and the bond that forms on these pages when everyone is in the same boat



Anyway enough about me ..... see you all April in Bolton..
