Apart from the kids bit, here and loving it. Been here 7 - nearly 8 - months. Working hard and making the most of the weekends. Been out and about a bit exploring and have even had a holiday - a long weekend at Surfers Paradise Got another hol booked for next month for our 10th anniversary - a fancy place in northern NSW where we have a suite with our own pool and spa

You've not got a category for me either .

We've got the visa, done the validation and reccie trip but can't go until next year due to personal reasons (finishing uni degree in UK).

Next step for us is telling my in-laws at Easter (aaargh).

Everyone would have voted to see Arkon on C4.

That's where we are too - we've had an e-mail from our CO to say our meds have been processed (whatever that means!) and she's just waiting for our PCC's which should have been there by Thursday last week! Come on we're waiting!!!!
