Re: Wanted down under !!!!
Hi Lesley
Glad you have settled ok, yes i remember you that number plate would have been great he is still learning to drive though. He has had recent operation on his knee so unable to drive for a bit.
We are due to go for meds on the 24th Dr Howarth at denton is doing it did he do yours really worried about stripping down to undies not a pretty sight
We have now changed our minds form brisbane and fancy a more laid back approach and are heading for Cairns.
Things seem to be taking ages though and the wait to get meds processed is about 8 - 12 weeks apparently could be a while before we get there at this rate.
Which ones were the Jones family I remember them by jobs, I know of the mechanic they live in Jimboomba, the carpet fitter has just arrived in Brisbane I think. I often wondered what happened to the teacher (Libby) not sure if they went or not she did come on this site for a while.
Anyway continue having a fantastic new life (i'm sure you will)

Re: Wanted down under !!!!
Hello Kaye
He's out of hospital and is staying with us at the moment. He wants to go back to his own unit in the Masonic Village at Menora................ but we won't let him just yet. He still has a pump thingy attached to his arm through which the ant-biotics are administered........... once that's gone he should be able to return home. He reckons we bully him......... doesn't realise it's for his own good?
Nurses from Charlie Gairdners Hospital visit him each day to give injections; and a nurse from St John Of God nips up here to take a blood sample each day. All in all he's in very good hands............. we have to convince him he's knocking on 85 though. He acts like he's 45.......... we just have to teach him to take it easy.
Hope everything goes well with your pending medicals and your application in general? Bet you are truly sick of all this red tape by now eh?
good luck

Re: Wanted down under !!!!
Hi glad hes feeling a bit better and wanting to go home thats a good sign.
Do you ever think that you are beginning to sound like your parents did, I often say things to my kids and cringe thinking my mother used to say these type of things to me "its for your own good" then I begin to feel old 
Yes beginning to get sick of red tape now they reckon meds are taking ages to process, we hope to be away in January at latest, OH has a pyschic mate who he works with and keeps saying it will be March so will see what happens.
I want the house on the market this month though, they seem to be selling OK round here so fingers crossed, people seem to want 3 bed Edwardian Terraces so I hope they want mine, we have given it a lick of paint and it looks lovely.
Take care
