Hi Beccie,

Glad to hear the move went well and the new rental is lovely. Have to admit I am very jealous...

No news on my meds. Signed for on the 13th March. But of course it is Easter weekend, so we won't get any more news until Tuesday... Not expecting anything until the 3 week mark at the earliest...

How will you manage without broadband???

Well done Beccie, another thing off the list!! I'm sure the beach in Oz is much better in the summer, don't get too settled where you are

Cheers Mary- it is fantastic isn't it!

And the reason I am here and OH is in UK still is we met whilst I was in the UK on a working holiday visa and I had to come home for my lil sis's wedding and work (only had 7 months leave granted) so OH came over to Oz to meet the family and check the place out as he had never been here!

And then went home to UK for the applicant period! So as you can imagine the phone bills are getting very expensive. Has been a very long 5 months and I am sure the next month is going to drag as well but not to worry you just roll with it!

Being apart has its moments of being really draining, but you do what you have to do to get through it in regards to the outcome you are both striving towards. Keeping very regular contact has been a godsend.

Cheers Natty
