Re: Tasmania??
Hey hon, hope kerry is looking after you, im sure you are all settling well, will call you at the week end. 
Seriously though are you trying to stop your lovely sister in law (thats me, for those that dont know) from coming and joining you out there, that story about the Huntsman just gave me the shakes, (lets hope Beth doesnt read it, cos i think she is as bad as me when it comes to spiders !) im seriously trying to not think about it. I keep having dreams where i reach for the towel when i get out of the shower and there is a big hunstman on it, or i wake up in the middle of the night and there is one sitting on the quilt cover, aaah gonna have to go get hypnotised i think before i come out there. love ya loads

p.s. its 3 degrees, feels colder, and is meant to be much colder by the week end, happy easter, confined indoors !

Hi Shona - just no going out and renting Arachnaphobia to watch
It's a bit decieving the weather isnt it? Nice and sunny out - but bloomin freezing! I went to work the other afternoon in a lighter jacket - but by the time i left at 8.30pm i nearly froze waiting for my bus home (i work in the building by the Liberty Bell) - so i get the 252 bus home around the corner - Andy said my teeth were actually chattering from the cold when i got in - and my glasses steamed up as soon as i walked in the hallway!

Re: Tasmania??
I think I might just have a slice of birthday cake 
as i'm watching the waistline!!!
I usually make it myself but I haven't had the time (bad mother) I expect they'll all be glad it's a shop bought one!!
Me & Keane are going to have a chilled out day ..until his brothers come in from school
On a boring note ...the Aussie dollar is shocking isn't it?? Sort of glad i'm not moving at the minute

We're definitely going to leave the bulk of our money in our GBP account for as long as possible i think...We'll just take enough to cover us for a few months and the things we need to lay out for initially...
I have some shares at work that i'm going to cash in next month, i was hoping to hang onto them when we move - but i guess the more money in the pot the better! I've also made contact with my old work manager based in Sydney to find out a little about our work's Hobart office if he can (and if anyone he's familiar with knows anyone there).... Going on the hourly rate that Andy's been quoted for work - i thought i'd at least enquire as to whether perhaps i can actually earn more myself in Tassie.... then perhaps Andy would get a chance to do a renovation project on a property as he'd love to have the spare time to do that.

Re: Tasmania??
I could see some of the older kids going into the infants school today with shoe boxes / little boxes with home-made chicks etc in them! Glad we werent asked to do that for reception class! Eden's bonnet is a hat she had with flowers on it - and i've put all chicks/bunnies/easter eggs on it with "Happy Easter"....
She was well excited about going to school today - they've got 11 chicks in an incubator and they're expecting them to hatch today....
They were given a letter asking if anyone wanted to bring one home once hatched.... Andy wanted to - but i said that we have too many foxes with the fields being behind us.... and then i said "what about moving" and he went - it'll be a chicken by then and we can just eat it! Men eh?

Re: Tasmania??
To be honest there's plenty of houses not far away from ours for similar price ranges and many of them have brand new kitchens etc - so personally if i was looking - i wouldnt choose our house!

Re: Tasmania??
No feedback as yet.... One of our 1st viewers were talking about possibly making us an offer - but they had a couple of more houses to view. I reckon they've gone for one of the other houses.... To be honest there's plenty of houses not far away from ours for similar price ranges and many of them have brand new kitchens etc - so personally if i was looking - i wouldnt choose our house!
