Want to tag along Pony? :thumbsup:

Ya know what Pacey - I'd love to but I have the small matter of a 20,000 word dissertation to finish by the 9th of May. And I've got a brand new block of wax just sat there waiting..............:(

I'm going it alone too!
I'm 31, no kids, hoping to settle in or around the Gold Coast (have family there) but that will depend on where I find work. I am a podiatrist and am hoping to secure a job before I go (aiming for 6 moths or so) which will determine where I initially settle anyway.

Any other Podiatrists on here or singles northern lasses around my age? Im from manchester.

Hi michelle, I'm just a smidge older than you, going it alone and currently in warrington. Welcome to TOLT - you'll have fun here.:thumbsup:

No I have not been riding I have been doing my IELTS as well you know (said in a very Eddie Izzardy styley). Pacey is off surfing instead of buying a suit - I've got a block of wax but cant use it as too busy! I'm rubbish at it too - only just learnt to stand up. Can go for miles on my knees though............er........leave it! ;)
