1. Snuggled up under the quilt with my niece cuddled up to one side and my nephew the other and listening to them laugh at the Simpsons....I have missed them so much.......But I can cuddle them anytime I want now that I am home....

2. Seeing the proud smile on my Hubby's face when he got offered his job here in Oz after only being in the Country for 4 days.....

Dont really want to say at the minute as have not told work yet and believe me its a small world in the lift game,also my history file says I am from Doncaster which narrows it down a bit?
You will know all about your dad going out at night on call then? My dad is also a lift engineer,he loves it,I loathe it. In fact he is still working at 67 much to my dismay,he was an apprentice with express lifts in Northampton round about the time your dad was doing his apprenticeship.
In the past have worked for express,kone and stannah (the stairlift people, how I miss the steady "clump,clump,clump",of an orthopedic boot coming to the front door when I rang the front door bell)
