Well you know that I wish you well and can't wait to read all about it, the trials and the tribulations.

Now, if I toss a coin, shall I choose heads or tails.........

And I have done the screwed up pieces of paper, thrown in the air and see which one I choose!!!!!!!!

I think I'm finally losing the plot

I cannot tell you how happy I am over her change of heart - any mother out there will know what im talking about

So, im keeping it brief because we have a viewing later today but watchout Australia, Im coming back to get you HA HA
Rooksie's daughter in completely changing her mind shocker.......hmmm...I wonder where she gets that from

Fantastic to hear you've got Grace on board mate - I know that will be a huge relief for you

Fingers crossed you can sell the house nice and quickly this time round. I have to say you sound so much happier these days

Glad to hear you've reached a family decision, J. You're prepared now - you'll make it work.

You'll just about make it here about the time we're heading back. Are you just trying to avoid me?!

Hi Rooksie,

From one pingponger to another, I wish u lots of luck. Beleive me its much easier 2nd time around.
We originally moved here (Melbourne) in Nov 2005 and despite having more family here than in England we got homesick and ended up moving back to England in July last year, by mid August we were back!! Back where we belong here in Melbourne, everything just fell into place second time around and we love it, don't even want to go back for a holiday. Our 3 daughters have coped very well with all the upheaval, they really wanted to come back here.

You will be fine.
