Hi guys,

Just a quick visit - frantically packing, too much luggage of course so I forsee a visit to the Excess Baggage counter at Heathrow tomorrow! Just been for a nice pub meal with my best mates, who kept saying "last time you'll do this, last time you'll do that!!" Gits, the pair of them!
Wanted to stop by though and say thanks to all those people who've sent pms wishing me well - haven't got time to answer you all individually, but its sooooo good of you all - I guess thats what this site is all about, friendship and support, even with people you are never likely to meet.
I'll be back online asap, (Bloke and ISP permitting!!), so make sure theres some interesting stuff for me to read.

Now I must go and pack the cauldron..... I may be online breifly tomorrow, and then its off into the wide blue yonder.......

Good luck Polly not that you'll need it somebody as positive as you is bound to do well.I had my last day in work today and thought I would enjoy it,but then somebody close to me, yesterday, shit on me from a great height, so took the shine off it for me.What they don't realise it's made me more determined to make Australia work for my family.
