Wives.

A copy of The Highway Code.

Someone gave us a massive Union flag to bring along.... so we could 'hang it' from our windows whenever England was playing sport.
I never hung one in the UK so I wasn't going to start when I lived on the other side of the world. It made its way to the charity store apparently.

I thought it was quite funny to be honest.

You seem to like using 'that' unnecessarily.

Shoes.

We were north of Brisbane when we first arrived in Australia. At work, Himself was issued with a hugely thick padded jacket that wouldn't have been out of place at Thredbo. Him and the other big jessy engineers persisted in wearing them all winter (even whilst in the office!!) while I was strolling into work in shirt sleeves!

I frequently need a scraper in Canberra in winter.

I brought a large snow shovel from Canada - definately don't need that.

Not used much here either.



I live in flip flops mostly so that shouldn't be a problem.

Good thread!

I have a water cooler here - do you use them in Brisbane?

Get rid or keep?

I've started to look around to see what I'm taking - got the removal quotes last week and i'm a bit over a 20ft - so need to get rid of some stuff.

lol
2 weeks to our validation trip

Scraped ice from the windscreen here (and put a blanket over the windscreen), also needed to lag the pipes to stop the shower freezing up.

Minus 6 ... a bit parky in this 'ere 'ouse.

Not really something I decided I didn't want when I got here but -

When we arrived at Brisbane airport we went through customs and out into the arrivals hall where I found a £5 note on the ground. What am I going to do with that? It isn't worth exchanging because after the fees and the shocking exchange rate I will end up owing the bank at least $20.

Nieces or nephews? Stick it in one of their birthday cards? Next time you get a visitor give it to them and tell them to get themselves a drink on the plane.

No way!! I couldn't ever imagine wearing a massive coat.... the thought makes me sweat!
