I havent told my mum yet but I suspect a friend of mine has told my brother - so she will have an idea. That one will be tough as my mum will be really supportive and tell me to go for it but inside it will tear her apart as she cant travel due to her health. Feel bad about that really - but she has my two brothers here and you cant live your life for other people. :(

My mum cant understand why anyone would want to be away from there family?

The good thing is my brother will never have the bottle to go away to the likes of ozz so thats a good thing.

Mum wont be left with no kids.

p.s. i have not lived at home for 8 years.

I try my best not to bring it up at work but i get the 'do you in australia this costs Â£Â£Â£Â£' blah blah..

If i never need a reference i would never have told them until it was in the post.
