Default Well ... Turns out we have been on TV!

Hey All,

I hear that I have been spotted on BBC. Heres a VERY quick upate before I shoot off to work.

I left Real Estate one week after shooting that and am now doing the following...

1. Writing for www.inthemix.com.au, Tsunami Magazine and occassionally Resident Advisor.com.au

2. Aiming to get on the club circuit again VERY soon, promoting my own events on the Sunny Coast as its in need of a lift.

3. Selling appliances for kitchens on the side which is great fun so if anyone on the Sunshine Coast needs any kitchen or laundry goods come and see me! PM me for further details

4. Mum still has not got in touch although I have been told that they seen it! At least she can now see what a life I have over here. Perhaps one day she will come around and pick up the phone.

5. Zoe started a wedding stationary business. Starts trading after our wedding on August 1st.

6. We are now saving for a deposit on our own home as the market seems to be a bit rocky at the moment so we are hanging on to see which way it goes (hopefully <<<<)

7. WE ARE HAPPY!!! If anyone is unsure of this place just think of the Sunlight and the good people. I am easily the happiest I have ever been and the competition was a breeze!!!

Well - I will DEFO come on again when I get a chance. Sorry I have not been on for a while.

So glad you and Zoe are happy. I followed your story with interest.

I'm sure your mum will come round in time. Fingers crossed.

You seem to be really happy & are somewhat of a success story - that is down to both of you & your hard work - don'y forget to post the wedding piccies & also the website for the wedding stationary business - you never know - could lead to some business on the forum!..

Great TV coverage - I missed it the first time & watched it the day after on Sky. Great!!

all the best

Hiya
Glad to hear that you are doing well. Sorry to hear about your mum though. That is a shame. I hope that the TV show makes her realise how well you are doing.

Good luck and congratulations for your forthcoming wedding.

YAY! Good to hear from you! I nearly choked on my gin when I saw you on the TV the other night, hence the post I put up here. You both seem to be doing really well, as your post above confirms. Sad about your mum, but she may well come round and at least she's seen how well your doing, which is good.

You're still *famous* on this forum - your name pops up whenever someone has a spouse visa panic and there are lots of us using your posts and your lists as checklists in our own applications.

Come back to the site soon and give us some more updates...
