glad to hear someone else has one of these.....I've given up the fight about wearing sensible clothing out. 4yr old is completely unaware of all the looks we get :o

Things are good here thanks. We have been here 15 months now and really enjoying it. We did have to return to the UK in June for my hubbies dads funeral which was a very sad occasion, but it made me realise that nothing in the UK appealed to us anymore. Just bought our own house here and are looking forward to the summer as we now have our very own pool. :D

Dont suppose your husband is called Charlie Crow.

Good to hear things are going well for you (well apart from sad news).

My OH isn't Charlie Crow - but it has a certain ring to it...
He chose the name The Crow as it's his favourite film - though he never posts!
