We're here!!
Just to say we've arrived! The 23 hour flight with 4 kids was not as traumatic as we thought it was going to be - in fact we still had unopened toys left in our 'open in case of emergency bag'!
The weather is wonderful, not to keen on the thunderstorms though! But the kids don't seem to mind! Moved into the house with no furniture just borrowed mattresses and garden chairs and table from my uncle.
First things we have bought are a big fridge/freezer, a washing machine (4 kids remember!) and hubby has bought a 4 x 4 car thing just so he can look like a real Ozzie - until he opens his mouth that is and the welsh accent comes out! Don't think I'll ever be able to park that so he is just going to have to drive me everywhere!
I think all the crying over the last few weeks has been worth it - I'll let you know!!!!
