PMSL. That's one way of describing it.

We are just used to each other's shortcomings.

NOT!!

You probably have to wait until the end of the tax year to lodge this year's return in case you have any more UK earnings???? Just guessing here!!

Saw you on AB organising your Christmas. Hope that you get to meet up and have fun. Your boys should enjoy that!

We would like to be in the hills but house prices may push us into the outlaying suburbs
You should look up a member name Dorothy (username and name). She lived in Adelaide for about a year I think, just recently moved to Perth though. But I believe she stayed in the on arrival accomadation so she might be able to tell you what it's like.

For general questions on adelaide there's Dorothy, and also Wendy. I'm sure if you do a search you'll get more info on here.

AB seems to be more about the local support and information side of things, whereas BE seems to be more about the visa process / moving over side of things. Hopefully you'll be able to meet up with lots of other newbies and make new friends.

I'm good. Just getting ready to go to the gym (it's 9:30am here). Really need to get in shape, lose weight, etc.... so it's my 3rd day in a row! Quite good for me actually.

The gym has a child minding place so they can watch my two little kids when I go. Nice break for me although would rather be reading a book than exercising But it needs to be done. My goal is to be in a bikini by next Christmas!

Gosh, you're good! 3 days in a row!

I joined a gym once, went for 6 weeks, damaged a muscle in my shoulder and was told off by the Dr and told not to go for 6 months. Haven't been back since. This could explain why I am no longer bikini material.

personally i think that any girl who has the confidence to wear a bikini looks fab in it the only exeptions to this are the "things" on Jerry Springer who are a little extreme

Well, I just had a strange house selling experience.

A few weeks ago, a guy viewed our house. Said he really liked it blah, blah but hasn't sold his house, (said the usual about could buy without selling, which I don't believe anymore. ) Anyway, he just phoned to say sorry he hadn't phoned. Then he said he really liked the house but thought it needed something done at the entrance to make it look more impressive. OK, so I was waiting for him to say, he wasn't interested or wanted to make a low offer. Instead he said he would think about it and get back to us before Christmas. So I've come off the phone not really sure why he phoned. I tried to suggest that we would take a lower offer - without actually saying that, if you know what I mean. But it was a strange conversation as I was waiting for him to say something meaningful.

Anyone got any ideas??

Don't worry yourself about it - sounds a bit odd

I am back by the way - did you miss me????

Our house has sold sign up and the sale is in the hands of Solicitors now....

Getting exciting!!!!! Have booked party for the kids for 15th Dec for all their school friends too.

Speak later,

That's very nice of you! I'm definitely not ready to wear one yet. I've got a 1 year old and a 3 year old to recover from, plus all the weight I packed on in University

So, a year is my goal. I've paid for the year membership so now I know I'll use it so I won't waste my money!

Hi Lau - wondered where you were!

Must feel great to see the sold sign! And a party to look forward to! Then Christmas. Then move! Wow, not much to do then!

The guy was a bit odd. BUT he is a surveyor so should know how the process works. Just wondering if he is playing a game to get us to drop the price?

Fitness First wouldn't refund my membership when I damaged my shoulder - they bank on a high drop out rate to make money.:curse: So keep going!

Very odd.... Either he's just clueless and didn't understand there was no need to call and tell you that. Or, maybe he just didn't clue into the fact that he should make a lower offer. No idea...
I'm still confused about it. See above. I am a bit cross as I had written him off and now I'm wondering if he might make an offer...................
