Haven't been here for a while.........
 

..so thought I'd drop in to say hello, and see how people are doing :)

We've been here in Melbourne for 4 years and 6 months, and feel so at home here, but still get such a kick out it.
I'm nursing still 4 days a week, and also do wedding/photography for extra money.
Carl is a chess coach in schools, and is like a pig-in-muck :)

Living in a great suburb, and with great friends and lifestyle.

Life is indeed good.

So, what about the rest of you who have been here for a while?

Re: Haven't been here for a while.........
 

Welcome back :)

Changed schools, homes and jobs. Making full use of the opportunities others call obstacles with life downunder.

I'm a coffee addict ;)

Re: Haven't been here for a while.........
 

4 years 8 months for us Cas.
Could be 4 months and 8 days as it still feels fresh.

We came, we saw.....and we said thanks Australia. :thumbup:
What did we do to deserve this?

Re: Haven't been here for a while.........
 

More like what did Aus do to desrve you guys ;)

Three years and 7 months for us, seems like yesterday but also seems like we've been here forever - how does that work:blink: Life's good, certain health issues that are ongoing but hey, that's life.

Re: Haven't been here for a while.........
 

Hi guys :)
That's exactly what we feel..everything seems so fresh, and yet so familiar..so home.
Coffee addict too...to real coffee, not that bitter crap used to put up with :D

..and yes..a BIG thanks :)

Re: Haven't been here for a while.........
 

Very happy thank you Cas, we have bought a small duplex, Mr PP has been in the same job since March 08 and I have been in the same job since April 08.

We now have our own dog which keeps the cat on his toes so all is good. It seems yonks ago that we were all waiting for our visa.

Do you ever hear from Fraser? I often think of him, did he get a job in the end, I know he was finding it hard to get work.:(

Re: Haven't been here for a while.........
 

Doesn't it just ! Can't believe the tearing of hair out now !

We have a cat, a six month kitten who keeps us on our toes lol !

Never hear from Fraser..haven't for ages...lives go different ways..

Glad all is going well for you xx

Hey Cas.

Been here 3 years last Easter. Got divorced.

Busy growing my photography business like you and having a life in between all that...

And of course, addicted to coffee.

Pig in mud honey. Pig in mud.
