Resigned !!
 
Woo hoo

After 8 years of thankless toil i have finally resigned....

I finish on Friday 3 June - starting work for a new company the following Monday (boo) but they are relocating me to Australia 2 months later (woo) taking a small pay cut (boo) but have a job to walk into (woo).

Two woos, two boos and one woo hoo - so on balance i guess its a woo hooooo!!

Hi,

Congrats - think of the job as a total bounus then, nice to have one straight away.

Where are you coming to in Brissy?, I've visited your website and noticed you have the house I'm living in the galery, well not the show home of course. Oh God - I sound like a stalker!!!!

We saw the Ballina 43 at Thornlands when we were over there last month, really liked Thornlands and the surrounding areas, we had intended to have it built on mount cotton (i think) as there was some really large blocks for sale. Then we stumbled across NorthLakes.....

We live not far from the show home, Hubby is a chippy and has built over that way, although not for Clarenden as yet, drop us an email when you land.
