well we have so much news, here goes....
We have now bought a house in a small village called Harkaway. Its a really beautful area with a nature reserve at the end of our garden. We also have a pool in the back garden, are we living the dream or what???
We should be moving in on the 19th of December.
But the even better news is as follows (in matts own words, cut and pasted from his e mail!!!)
"Well the god damn holiday is really over now!! I rang up a company yesterday called Retail Directions. I had sent them a general email in July and when I checked my mails yesterday I had a response saying to contact them. I rang them yesterday (Tuesday) and they gave me an interview today and they offered me a job on the spot. I start a week on Monday (grrrr)"
The kids are starting school a week on Monday as well. The school only has 120 pupils and is apparently like gold dust to get into! This will be the last week of term before the Summer holidays.
We are going off for a last holiday next week to do more detailed travel up the Great Ocean Road and meet up with some friends. We will also be doing some off roading in the ottways in the 4 wheel drive :scared:
This last couple of weeks has been a bit surreal as its just like all the pieces have slotted together and we have a new life again.
Anyway beers are chilling and the Chinese takeaway has been ordered.
i'm back up on cloud nine and at the moment i wouldn't change anything for anything

Absolutely fantastic news Hevs,
You have done so well and it is all down to your positive outlook, sense of adventure and adaptation to Oz. It has really cheered me up hearing that you are enjoying life and that things have slotted in so well.
I hope we can settle as quickly and I know we are going to try just as much.
Congrats on making it happen
