Hi all,

Well about a month ago i was all down in the dumps , my kids went back home to live with ex and generally i felt abandoned.Arrived here in April with nothing much . Since then i have made lots of friends at my work and i have a social life in the city on Friday s after work and i have made friends. Life is GOOOOOOOOOD. And this is in the worst season so how good will it get when the balmy night and beach days come along.

I have moved a few times in my life and it is never easy especially with children. When i my parents brought me to the middle east when i was young i refused to communicate with anyone as i felt hurt that they pulled me away from my friends. Eventually i loved my life there and i still thank my parents for giving me such a good life . My son ( 18) will not come out until his girlfriend is old enough to come with him and my daughter (16)is coming back in October.

Its not easy and it takes some hard months but in the end it will be all worth it if you open up to opportunity and life and and this beautifull country.

If anyone needs a friend or any kind of contact just let me know as i am an open person and very sociable and having been there myself i am quite happy to help out if it can make a difference. I live in Beldon near Edgewater . I am 46 but young at heart and just get in touch if u want to go out in the city or Joondalup and will sort something or even if you want to go for coffee somewhere , no worries as they say .

Linda :-)

G'day , may well be taking you up on your offer towards christmas. Visa is only ( hopefully) a couple of weeks away and we're looking at edgewater, ellenbrook, ridgewood areas. Know its going to be hard over christmas period leaving family and friends ( two young lads 9 and 7 who will no doubt miss grandparents, thay can't appreciate that we're doing this mostly for their future) .Will be in touch in hopefully not too distant future.

Me and Dawn are still in the UK, but as soon as we get over there i'm sure we'll sort something out.

How long have you been in Oz and what's your occupation?
