Default yoohoo, we're here :)

hello all, well we made it and it dosent quite feel real yet. arrived in brisbane yesterday morning after a 3 night fab stay in singapore......loads of shopping ladies, cheap cheap cheap, ooohhhh the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway, we're staying at the brisbane holiday village in a cosmo cabin which is out of this world, so good in fact i could live in it! got lost on the way back from wellington point last night, after eating fish and chips watching the sunset!

got lost again today after visiting, redland bay, victoria point and cleveland, loved all of them especially cleveland, (tracey i wouldve called but didnt have your number on me!) am gonna take it now though.

big booboo on the job front! thought the royal brisnbane was south but its not and it could take me an hour to get there from redland bay so we are off to the sunshine coast tommorowto have a look around, ive been before and loved it and if it comes to it, i'll have to look for another job but am reassured that i shoulnt have a problem.

igotta go cos aM ION THE LAUNDRETTE AND ONLY HAVE A MIN TO GET SOME NUMBERS,

HI KAY, SUE AND JAC XX

Fantastic Debbie, we were talking about you over the weekend, wondering how you were getting on.
We hope to be following in the next 4 weeks, just waiting for a completion date on the house. We too were coming to Brisbane but not sure now as Martin got a job in Melbourne. Look forward to hearing all your news, best of luck with the job. Angie and Martin.
