In that case one chamomile tea coming up....

I have an orange and pineapple squash so we're really hitting the hard stuff tonight

Dunc just had a call about a job in Sydney and has an interview next week I haven't really considered moving to Sydney - expense factor was one of the major considerations but if that is where he can get work it might have to be done

Hence I am back up out of bed

We were looking at Melbourne - but to be honest Sal I have never been to Aus so every place is just as alien as the next.

Not too sure about Sydney though - not sure it would be the right move but if that is where fate takes us then who am I to argue????

He is a supermarket manager. Not sure if he will stay doing that when we move though, maybe opportunity to change! I would really like to try remote nursing but would really depend where!

Someone I was in school with is nursing with the flying doctors I haven't seen her since we did our 'A' levels.... We used to travel to school together every day as we went to a school outside of catchment area and we lost contact.

I have been sent her email address by a mutual friend - which is nice so hopefully we can catch up...

You must! Every contact will help! I have an uncle & cousins over there who I do not know but FlyAway was encouraging me to make contact, think she has the right idea!
