We had a great time and NOT just because we had the opportunity to flash our beautiful visas!

I'm sorry that we didn't get the chance to have a proper chat with everyone and would like to wish Jason and family a smooth flight and the best of luck for the forthcoming days, weeks, months.

I took quite a number of photo's last night (with help from Chloe and Leah, thanks girls) and will be posting them as soon as I've worked out how to reduce the file size, so keep watching this space.

No, this space.


No, I mean this space

I'm really looking forward to the next meet but I suppose we should allow Jane to regain the ability to stop rooms spinning before we ask when it will be!

Tracey - how did you get your ticker thingy to work and have you registered for Skype yet?

Sara
Hi Sara

No haven't done the skype thing will leave it til tomoz now and we haven't been able to get the ticker on. Phil will have a look tomorrow at that to.

Oh, good on ya. You enjoy that feeling. I bet there are not many things in life that make you feel as good as you do now. Finally getting something that you really want and have waited so long for.

You are really lucky. Ours seems such a long way off!! When we were last in Oz we bought a bottle of really expensive red wine to bring back. We refuse to open it till the day our visas are in our sweaty paws!

Enjoy your champers and look forward to starting to live again x

Wow, fantastic news Jane. It must be something about your meets, because ours came a couple of days after the last one.

I would say have a drink today but after saturday it may be advisable to leave it a couple of days

Congratulations again and look forward to you flashing at the next meet.

Congratulations, I bet you are estatic. You can start making definite plans now, it must be such a relief!

Anyhow, we would like to thank you very much for organising and hosting the get-together, it was fab meeting all you guys, you really are a great bunch of people - we're just sorry we didn't get round to more people (the kids and our stomachs put pay to that!!!). So remember whenever you're in Melbourne, please pay us a visit it would be great to meet you all again.

Guys, I need some karma, urgently!!!!

We have had a nightmare week (not the thing you need just before you leave!!!)

1) We found out on Tuesday our garage conversion had been done without permission and so the council may want a 5ft hole dug at the front of the conversion to inspect the foundations!

2) Central Heating system packed up on Friday, leaving our 3 house viewings on Saturday to be done in the freezing cold!

3) Our expansion tank in the loft overflowed into the garden just as the viewings started!

These things only happen in 3's i hear you say.... WRONG!!!!

4) Because our central heating was broken, we put our gas fire on when we got home on Saturday night. It was only when I walked past the lounge that I noticed that the fire was burning much more strongly than normal, one of our kids had pushed something combustable in it and it was now on fire!!!! Thankfully after about 5-10 minutes it put itself out but our lounge was left with smoke and soot all over it !!!!!!

Please not a number 5!!!!!

Please send me some VB's (Virtual Beers!)
and some much needed karma!

Love and hugs to all

Jason
