Re: yoohoo, we're here :)
thanks folks,
well yesterday was mega busy, went right up to noosa stopping at..coulundra, like it, the maroochy, like it, bli bli like it, maroochy river like it , perigian water, like it................need i go on!!!!! but we just loved tewantin. thing is, i'm supposed to be working in bris at the royal and we dont want to live in brisbane. think we might think about coulundra as its only about 45 mins from city or maybe nambour but i called today and no jobs although she said i could join the pool. dilemma
had first encounter with medicare today as we had to go and register before i could take beth to the dr, she's got tonsillitis bless her, she couldnt lift her head this morning. saw the dr this afters, i thought beth was gonna pass out when he stuck a spatula in her mouth and took the puss off her tonsils!!!!! :scared: anyway, after a couple shes picked up a bit now and has come out to this caf with me.
so far so good and i'm just starting to get into the swing of things now, its definately helped being here before though. looking forward to meeting some of the others soon. annie, mark and the kids are lovely and helped us loads yesterday, even told us about their favourite thai restaurant which we went to check out.
well so much to do so i'll say ta ttfn folks,

So sorry to hear that Beth's not been well, I cant imagine what it was like having a spatula clearing tonsils
Thanks for mentioning the places you are visiting and what they are like, its giving us some ideas for our move.
We are so excited for you all, it seems an age ago that we all went to that first meet doesn't it? How things change hey. We have been in bits as Sophie told us she wasn't coming and moved out soon after. Shes 18 now so not a lot we can do,a long story, wont go on, we are trying to keep calm and hope she changes her mind later.
Enjoy and be happy

She has a place at college and then intends to go on to uni, we told her that she could do that in Oz but she wants to be closer to her boyfriend { he wasn't on the scene when we started this!} We have literally been torn, not knowing what to do, its been the worst few months but sure we will get through and you never know, she may change her mind later, wishful thinking hey! At least by validating, she has a choice.
