How are things going with you? All falling into place? :)

Getting there slowly thanks - been in the house just about 4 weeks now - still trying to figure out the best places for some things (could do with a few more sockets). Have an SA driving license, medicare card and bank cards (although had basic card before leaving UK as we did security checks in London).

Still working on the job - although have had one interview, and had phone interview through to next round for another today (:fingerscrossed:). Have provisonal license sort of sorted (waiting for actual card to come through but approved) and have place on gap training course for July

So yes, things are falling into place :)

I got nervous before leaving, and had a few moments, but if it doesn't work at least I tried :)

Cheers! A restorative glass of wine has temporarily helped the headache, although my mangled thumb is throbbing like mad. At least it has finally stopped bleeding, and OH didn't notice the extra protein in his noodles!! (He's watching more rugby.)

May I join your drinkies? I have had wine in the hope I will sleep better tonight. This full leg brace is getting on my tits to be honest....... I'm not in pain but my physio broke me a bit yesterday combined with the rain and my insomnia last night. Making good progress with my rehab but it's a bit tedious now......half way there. Another 3 weeks in this goddamn awful brace.

Oh dear, good job I don't need painkillers, the room spins when I close my eyes. The next trip on crutches could be interesting......! My tolerance for wine is down as I can usually easily sink a bottle of a Friday night......ah well.
