Default We've been here a year today....

It's been a hard year what with building a house and I wouldn't recomend it to anyone, my advice would be to settle first.

I'm determined that the second year is going to be better and we're really looking forward to the summer.

As for work, well I can't get anything apart from casual which is a pain as I get pissed off if they don't call and pissed off when they do as I need the work but it's bloody boring and hard graft when I get it.

Onwards and upwards.

That does seem to have flown by. Good luck for the next 12 months and thereafter - I'm sure you and Rachel are due for a good run of it!!

So it a whole year since we picked you all up from the airport and we thought....who the **** are we letting into Australia !??!


Well, I'm glad we didn't run away and leave you to it.....even though you can be a miserable git, Rachel and the boys are lovely.

Sure things will start to be on the up now - and that lovely summer will be had.
