It will be cheaper for you than using a UK credit card which you will have to otherwise, even for things like car hire etc!

Wendy its truly horrible feeling like this. Because everything is boxed up, sold, thrown away or given to charity, I feel upset for some reason that my security has gone.

And work isnt very nice at the moment, so I guess it doesnt help.

Im going to make a horlicks, would anyone like one?

Back in 5 mins.

Thanks for that. Everyone in my office now thinks I'm a nutter because after I read this I laughed out loud whilst eating a Rolo and almost choked on it.

On a serious note, though, good luck with everything and hope your trip goes smoothly.

Don't worry I agree with Wendy, when you get nearer your leaving date it all seems to fall into place....promise

Heres a ((((((((((HUG))))))))))) to make you fell a little better.

Regarding the banks as well. When we were there we used ANZ. It was a basic account and cost us $5 a month. Just what we needed at the time.

Hope this little bit of info helps

It will soon pass mate, hang in there. It feels like only a few months ago that we were doing the same thing, and it's nearly 2 years ago

Well you see there is a camel toe and a beetles bonnet (remember that Stevo)

Camel toe is where the minge is sliced neatly into two pieces by trousers/shorts.

Some toes are porkier than others, some look like two fillet steaks separated by fabric.

A beetles bonnet is where the minge is not divided at all. It falls neatly into place and looks like the top of a VW beetle car. A very porky minge indeed, even more porky due to lack of separation. Very noticeable, well I notice odd genitals anyway and some beetles bonnets could be used as a mattress.

Lynne [/QUOTE]

It must be so hard when one person loves it and the other doesnt. Who do you move back for? Who do you stay put for? Your husband/wife/children.

More importantly, who did you move out for in the first place? Now these are some questions that you cannot predict the answers to until you have been in that situation.

Saying that though, I wouldnt stay in Oz even if I loved it, if Mr PP wanted to go home.

I havent built up nearly 20 years with him to swap it for a country.

I think you did the right thing you know Lynee and I bet things will come good for you.

It does seem to be you telling me to go to bed lately.

I dont want to go to work tomorrow, I feel sick at the thought. Five minutes longer....

we too opened a commonwealth account in London and I agree the online banking is so easy.

also if you have a certain ammount of money in the account there are no charges for withdrawals.

HSBC had a better rate but there is no branch here in Tas and so that put us off.
