People ask me up the school 'where are we emigrating to?' I say 'Tasmania'..........and about 90% of people will reply 'I thought you were going to Australia!!'
Doing my head right in.........but the more I think of Tas, the more I want to be there NOW!!!!!!!!!!
My 12 year old daughter has her Grade 2 Violin Exam tomorrow, really hope she can continue with her violin in Tasmania schools..........and my 8 year old plays the cornet..........even though it sounds like an elephant trumping at the moment still.....LOL
Hubby also does Thai Boxing........god I don't want too much do I?!!!! LOL
Plus the dance classes on top

I guess some people just cant understand the attraction of Tasmania (good, the less people go there then), but i do get the same reaction when we say Tas, their eyebrows raise as if to say err why there??, get tired of explaining everything it has to offer. Would like my daughter to continue in her gymnastics and my little boy wants to learn rock climbing (hey with all those mountains you never know LOL), wish the whole process was a bit quicker to get there, then you might not have the daily doubts about being selfish etc as well, could just up and go do it now x

OMG you have lots of things going on!! My boys have all had fads...swimming..tae-kwon-do etc but nothing at the moment (and i'm quite glad)
Good luck to your daughter with her exam xx

I'm so over-run with the back log of washing after our weekend in Siberia!!! Oh well lets get it done (or at least started!!)

Thats disgusting!! Just goes to show you the kind of place England has become, stealing kids crimbo dec's

I loved the photo's you sent, and they just proved the point of Legoland Perth. I bet they try to get into the wrong house! I used to do that with my black ford focus in the UK, they were 10 a penny in the car parks. I'd try my key in the wrong car!!! Did that twice. If i lived in Perth I'd be trying the wrong house

are the houses really that similar, how funny, like toy town !

Yeah except they are real and people actually live in them!!

I've Pm'd the bishops, but don't know how long it will be before they get internet access. I've offered them to use our comp, until they get sorted, given them our phone number etc. So if you speak to them beforehand can you let them know there is a PM waiting for them?

Kerry

yes, will be speaking to them tonight, getting internet in 7 days i think, she has to keep going to the library to access her emails, will tell her, would be nice to get in touch, shes a bit homesick at the moment, finding things hard as their container might not get there now before xmas.

Oh that's awful, hope the kiddies aren't too upset!!! We have xmas lights outside and have nailed them to the house, will take way too long for someone to try to steal them now (hopefully). We can't decide whether to take them to Tas with us though, as they are pretty big, but they are fab in the dark
Only 6 days to Christmas......YAY!!!! Be glad when it's all over now so I won't feel guilty anymore for not buying much for my girls.
Managed to get a turkey crown with all the birds being killed from bird flu.......really can't wait to leave this place now
Still waiting for the book on Tas I ordered to arrive......just want to find out all I can before we arrive
I think the hospital we need to live near to is called 'The Royal Hobart Hospital'.......so have up to a 15 mile radius of there to find somewhere to live. We travel about 45 mins to get to the hospital now.......so want to be a bit closer in Tas.
If anyone has any photos of Hobart and surrounding areas that they would be willing to email to me, I would appreciate them hugely
My 11 year old reckons you can see the 'aura lights' in Tas.......the lovely coloured streaks in the sky........is that true? I would watch them for hours....

If you go on Google and click on 'Images' you can type any area, whatever you want and it brings up loads of pictures, did this one evening for hours to looking longingly at all the beautiful scenery pictures etc.

Oh thanks for that, didn't even think of it to be honest....LOL

Hi Shona, that's awful if the container doesnt arrive in time for Xmas. I know Corinne said it was delayed in Melbourne wasn't it.... Not a good time of year to have to make do without all your normal stuff! Especially as you wouldnt want to fork out for new bits knowing it's not far away!
(ive just sent you our pics)

Hi Beth, PM me your Email address and i'll send you a few of the pics we took in Tas whilst there recently.... Cathy

Oh brilliant thanks!!!!!!! PM you now.......can't wait

I remember seeing a couple of the hospitals whilst we were in Hobart and they look quite nice from the outside (and i believe they're of a high standard inside too!)....
