Or you could just wait to migrate to OZ until the license is 3 months away from being 3 years old. But that doesn't seem like a very positive choice!

Best just up and take the test!

It took me ten years to get this one ... so 3 years wouldn't be too bad

Hi Mairead,

Haven't seen you on BE for a while. I saw this about the driving licence and OH is not impressed He only passed his test in 2007 but luckily I have mine since 2003.

Question?? How do they know that you are not on your second licence (age permitting). Would they check with the Irish DMV??

Any one want a good giggle? I was re-painting the walls in the living room because the contractor didn't match the color to the original color and it was noticeable. One year old came over to "help", and in a minute he had himself covered (put the paint brush in his hair). Into the tub he went along with his 5 year old sister who took the opportunity to self-paint her arms (without recrimination). You should have seen the color of the tub water - almost the same shade as the walls!

Bless em!

More evidence of the days events!

Congratulations Mairead, Well Done. x

Mairead

I was wondering the same myself? I cant see them contacting the Irish DMV Would love to know the answer if anyone else knows. How are things with you? Not long for you now hopefully

Bet they'll sleep tonight after all that excitement!!!

MORNING ALL

Hi, it has been really quiet on here the past couple of weeks, I suppose people aren't bothering too much if there doesn't seem to be any movement

Anyway congrats to Mairead and to Tiger222

Mary1967 hope your ok? and you Clarkeys

Hope everyone has a good weekend with sunshine and house viewings, I have my brother down today from London and I am going to view a rental, OH working as usual - I book these things in and then just at the last minute, he has to work - so once again I'm doing it on my own

xx

The Clarkeys

Congratulations Mairead!

How's all the selling going everyone? only people we've had round are other estate agents trying to poach us or find out where we are thinking of moving to!! onece i tell them australia they can't get off the step quick enough!!

we're off to the beach this arvo (trying to get down with the lingo) i will try pretend its the indian ocean we're looking at rather than the english channel!

mary1967

Fell asleep at 7 pm yesterday and had to go for a long sleep this afternoon - think the stress of everything is finally taking it's toll

Saying that, i feel much better now, if only i could get someone to make tea, do the washing and clean the house

The Clarkeys

wish i could have done that! my parents were still here and as we were sleeping on the blow-up mattress down stairs we couldn't go to bed. fell asleep mid conversation (after a Fosters - desperately trying to pretend we are somewhere else). do you think the kids slept in this morning? oh no - even earlier then usual this morning - 5 am

mary1967

My eldest didn't sleep through until she was 3 and only started sleeping past 6 am when she was about 8

My main problem now is getting her out of bed (she's now 16)

The Clarkeys

as he isn't even 2 yet, that thought hasn't really cheered me up oh well, those days will be so much sweeter when they do come! we dream of the day when we are able to have a lie in. even on the few occasions when we don't have the kids (including our wedding night!) we still wake up at ridiculous o'clock

mary1967

I never thought we'd get a lie in either - honest I spent the early years wishing the kids were older so that we could do stuff. We had no help from anyone, don't think we started going out again as a couple until about 3 years ago. (and then we just talked about the kids)

Now i wish i could turn the clock back to when they were younger - they grow up so quick and those baby days seem such a long time ago.
