you are asking for bother you know

Its the best move we ever made as a family and although it has its bad points and problems for us the good far outweighs those things. If only all the whingers would piss off back and stop giving all the happy poms a bad name then I would be a happy chook.

I don't know if it will help or not, people should keep an open mind really and not listen to us or the haters and make their own mind up.

Well, we love it, the kids have settled well, and so far - no problems.

But then we have only been here since November - ask me again in 6 months and it might be a completely different answer.

It's far too ordinary to generate emotions as strong as love or hate. Totally ambivalent.

Almost 12 months for us and we all love it.

We've had our fair share of ups and downs,but I guess we would have had it anyway,no matter where we were.

Wouldn't go as far as saying we *love* the place but it's certainly a darn nice city to be bringing our kids up ...

Mum & Dad arrive tomorrow for a WEEK

The wee boys cannee wait.
