It's strange, been here two years in September, still don't have even a vague Aussie accent and yet my kids are fully Aussiefied now!!! Cute!!!

Still get the piss taken out of me for my 'U', as in 'Pub' rather than 'pab' etc etc.

Have managed to make quite a few new friends at Uni which is great, aswell as my two good girlfriends I met before Uni, so thats nice. It's good to have a buddy network going over here, otherwise I think it can get tough when you're missing family and old buddies.

My brother has just recently announced his wife and him are expecting their first child in the uk in september, so theres family expectation for me to go over and see my niece / newphew but don't know if it'll happen as we are skint for the next 4 years while I'm at Uni, so thats going to be a toughie...

I still miss Sainsburys ready prepared veggies from the chiller but am pleased to report that Woollies up here now have ready peeled carrots and broc and cauli, so looks like FNQ is slowly pulling itself out of the timewarp!!!

Theres heaps of new folks on here I don't recognise (obviously I've been away too long) what ever happened to Phoenixuk2oz? She gave me her home e-mail addy and I lost it. If you're reading this janey, drop me a line!!!

Ok, gotta get my head into a book, take care and will drop by again soon, Leigh. x
