Here she is

OK you want the run down?

Had a great flight... all fears of flying seem to be under control

We landed just after 6am on Monday (Aussie time) and at 10am I had a phone call about going for a job interview on Wednesday for a temp agency.. will tell you about that later on...

OK nothing interesting on Monday 'cept went shopping.. knew there were going to be some things missing from the shelves.. but it was bearable

Had a few hours kip during the day and went to bed at 8pm.. kept waking up during the night as it seemed as though I should have been up, but of course I should have just slept. Tony was a little stuffed by the journey and for the first time in his life, the kid slept over 12 hours !!!!!

On Tuesday we had serious stuff to do.. went to Medicare to get our medicare cards sorted. As it is all down to immigration to send the info down a puter, mine was not there, but Tones was, so he can get ill, and I cant *sigh*

Next we opened a bank account. Went with ANZ as we got away with a $5 a month charge and as many transactions as we want and we get a 'debit' card too. The same goes with Tone but he does not pay a fee til he is 18.

We both got a sims card for out mobiles so we are now contactable for our mates in UK via sms YAYYYYYY

Phoned up about the theory driving test, but as I am only on a temp visa I dont have to do my test til I am a perm resident WOO HOO 2 years til I sweat it out

Sorting out a school for Tone, have an appointment on Friday for him, but school break up on Friday for 2 weeks so he wont start til then anyways, but at least we can sort him out

Went for my interview today and totally screwed up, I was way way too tired. Still you never know, they might make an exception due to only being here 48 hours *shrug*

We are all feeling the stress slightly, 'cept Tony who might be off to a party with some 16 y/o girls on Saturday!!!! WOO HOO the kid is going to get social!

Nothing much more to report on at the moment, just tired tired tired

Will keep ya more posted if you wanna hear my drivvel.....

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH yea went to the bay yesterday to have a peek and it was WOW!!! Ok it is not where you would swim, but it is only a few mins drive from where we live which after being in London, and the nearest place being the Thames or Southend,,,, well need I say anymore?

Take care all

Yvonne

No more days til we hit Melbourne as we are ALREADY HERE!!!!!!!!!

Well done Yvonne!

Sorry that you missed the absolutely fabulous weather at the weekend (Sunday was the hottest early Spring day on record I believe - 28.5 degrees) and are probably getting blown about in the gales.

The jet-lag frazzles your brain and you can't think straight for the first week or so (particularly in the afternoons and evenings) - so try to relax, hoover some Yarra Valley Chardonnay, see the sights, and ENJOY!

Best regards.

Feeling a little more alive now.. tho it is 6pm and I am ready for bed hahaha

Did not do as badly at the interview as I first thought. I whizzed the tests so I am being put forward for the job and might start on Monday

Thank you Alan for your advice but I think if I were to just smell some wine now I would be knocked out for a week

Been out and about the last few days, but not been able to take much in *sigh* I hope it does not get to the point that I am not able to appreciate my suuroundings due to lack of time

Interview at the school tomorrow for the likkle lad... had a wind up with him earlier by saying the receptionist asked if I was from the soap Eastenders HAHAHAHAHAHAHA he fell for it and I think I will keep that one going for a while

OK I am orf ta watch a movie with the ole man and likkle lad now... be good, have fun and all of ya bear with me whilst I get over all the excitement and come back down to earth

Yvonne

The out on bonk mad one
