East Huntspill, near B-o-S.

I was going to wave at Scuba Steve and chuck him a mince pie at Changi, but it seems his plans have sadly changed.

Only about 25 mins from my parents - small world!!

Yeah, Steve doesn't seem to be having the best luck. (Steve, just come in my second suitcase mate!! )

Well if you have any spare mince pies at Changi, throw one at me, I've got 6 hours to kill there lol.

Spooky similarities.

We lived in W-s-M before we moved out, (Worlebury). It's my mum who lives in East Huntspill. I went to school in B-o-S.

And back in '88/'89 I spent over 6 months in Newcastle NSW. Lived in Merewether and had a job at The Brewery on the Queen's Wharf when it first opened.

This is very very scary! I don't suppose you have any connections to Falmouth in Cornwall? If you do then I'll be properly freaked out!

I'm off to Adelaide on my jack. Not everyone's going to SYD, just most people lol.

Thanks Guys, checked hotmail when I got into work, couldn't concentrate at all that day. Didn't help that I couldn't tell anyone there either!!!!!!

Flat mate works at the same company and wanted to make sure I told him first about my plans. It was hard keeping quiet for nine months.

Some colleagues are very jealous, going through redundancies at work at the moment so not the greatest place to be.

Thanks for that kind offer, I will do. Any reason why you're deserting the sinking ship that is Adelaide?!

Yeah, I was originally on a 495 regional visa, now I have PR it was always my intention to move. I have good mates here in Adelaide but its no place for a single person who likes to socialise, only my opinion, but I now cannot wait to move on! depends what you are looking for but its not for me!
