Re: on my way
Looking good Steve, Pool looks very inviting now dosn't it... bet you've been in a few times after a hard days graft!
How far from the beach are you there? Been thinking of buying a few miles mainland as i here you get a lot more for your money.... more land, house etc. How true you finding this Steve? How are your kids settling in, had much homesickness? Or does OZ feel like home already? :unsure: S-j and Si Ps Included all wageslips and accountants details anyway, better safe than sorry eh? |

Re: on my way
Thanks for that Steve :D
Very funny about kitchen :rofl: could'nt do that in UK! Been quite sunny and warm last few days here 12c!! Reasuring to know your ok out there.... We have a daughter of 9 and 3 boys under 2 1/2. So a bit worried for myself in the early days really... Coping with knowing nobody etc. I'm quite chatty though so hoping wont be for long.. You've done a lot in a couple of weeks Steve, are you working too?? Superman or what! Si reckons it gets past 40 degrees in Summer, is this true! Bring on the air con, cold beers and pool! Do you think it's a bit premature to find contacts for work on Gold Coast/Bris, as we wont be there for about 10mths.... Not sure how bad they want you.... Is there loads of jobs for sparkies or is it a bit over the top? Regards to you and keep it up, you'll be famous by the time we get there! :rofl: S-j and Si |
