Well that livened it up a bit!

Scuba: the only german woman I've ever had a chance with turned out to be a raving nutjob! BUNNY BOILER EXTRAORDINAIRE! Whoops about the caps.

Off to the beach I say, now the sunburn from last week has faded haha.

I got my shippers coming on 12th Nov, my parties have started, had my hair done on Saturday, booked for full wax in two weeks, posh car goes back in 4 weeks, leave in 32 days time. ;)

I am nervous wreck - all donations of vodka, gin, whisky etc etc gratefully received. PM me for details of where to send! Cheers! :thumbsup:

yeah heard that story. I ate there a week and a half ago yuck. Coogee is a good spot though. A friend of mine just moved out there. Wasn't at the meetup last week but I'll be at the next one.

Wow, it's getting close Pony!!! :thumbsup:

I've now done my meds (which should be being sent off this week somewhen) and my pccs are uploaded.

So I've done everything that my email from aspc asked for. I don't know what to do now? Do I have to tell them I have done my meds? Do I have to tell them I've uploaded stuff?

My document checklist says "recieved" for everything apart from x-rays, meds, and pccs which says "required". But they are all done.

I'm hoping that my CO will look at it soon and change everything? What if my meds aren't looked at before my 28 days (7th Nov) are up?

I panic too much.

I know I'll be fine - but the emotional roller coaster is starting to make me feel a bit sick. :blink:

I will never never ever ever not in a million years eat ice cream or gelato anywhere near Coogee in my whole life!:eek:

Good news that so many of you are on your way, the weather has been a mixture of baking hot mid 30's days with thunderstorms at night/morning. The storms here are amazing, most impressive lightning I've ever seen.

I'm feeling a damn sight happier today as the company has finally given me a job like-what they offered in the interview. Going underground for 3 days next week to try and troubleshoot a problem that's been going on for 12months!

Ooooh I saw a whale just off the beach today too :D

Looking forward to Oz Oct 30th 2008 1:08 am

Re: The Official Loners Thread
