Nope...the washing machine is definately on its way to that "great kitchen in the sky" I've wasted half the day messing with it and its definately bust! (no honest it was before I touched it!)
Luckily there is a launderette just down the road, now all I have to do is convince the kids to stop hiding all thier clothes all over the house.!

Oh dear about the machine

Have there been any viewers yet? I hope your house sells soon so you and your kids can join her 
again. Good luck with managing the household 
Take care,

Hi windog (where did you get the name from?! or shouldnt I ask 
)
Glad wannabaussienurse has arrived safe and well, keep us updated with how she's getting on although I'm sure once she's had a good sleep she'll be on here herself.
Hows the housework going?! Its good practice for when you get to cairns anyway

I'll give you a clue... my surname is Godwin, and niwdog is too difficult to say!
(and you thought it was going to be interesting didn't you!
)Well I have read the kids the riot act.... they have tidied thier bedroom (supposedly...I havent checked yet!) and collected all thier washing together... thats now in the launderette, I've worked out how the hoover works
, done the shopping (Fajitas for dinner!) and I keep going round the house piling stuff into bin bags to throw away, but there always seems to be more!And yes... I think I'm down for being a "house husband" when I get to Cairns, untill I can find a job!

Re: My wife has left me....
thanks for clearing that up for me, windog, I wondered if maybe you had a flatulance problem 
My husband is also in training as a househusband - the role he's going to take when we get to oz, so your not alone So far, you sound as if your doing ok, keep up the good work

Re: My wife has left me....
and I have 2 kids to bring up on my ownuntill the house is sold and we can join her in Cairns
She (Wannabaussienurse) flew out of Heathrow yesterday so if anyone sees a confused pom wandering arround Cairns tomorrow ....please help!
How on earth I'm going to manage to keep the kids/house clean and tidy the kids fed, eventually pack up the stuff we are tking with us, and work I dont know yet...I'm only a man after all!
It all feels very strange at the moment, being on my own, but hopefully it wont be for too long.

Re: My wife has left me....
Yes, she's in digs now, bought herself a car, started work on Monday at Cairns hospital, everything going ok so far!
We've accepted an offer on the house, so now its the usual "emigrating to Aus" feelings.....hurry up and wait! untill we get some progress on that front. Everything about emigrating seems to be so frustrating as you have no controll over any timescale.
Still hopefully it won't be much longer
