Bless, no offence was meant I took it in the manner it was said, I too was only joking.

A little bit of news from us, our house is sold subject to contracts being signed, so cross everything for us and hope it all goes through. All going well we are hoping to complete by the 25th July. As yet we haven't booked our flights, we are heading our bets on that score, especially in todays housing market.

Thinking about it, we have decided to fly from Glasgow, this way we will be able to spend sometime with my family before we leave and as a few of us know, Glasgow airport is so much easier than Heathrow. Only problem with doing this is that we have to drive from Norfolk to Hampshire to spend time with oh family and then drive to Scotland, I am sure we will survive it.

I will give you an update nearer the time.

Hey Kaye

We've ended up in a town called Gayndah, bought a motel, should have taken over Monday but it's been delayed, bloody banks fault not ours, so we're having a very steep learning curve seen as we've never done this before!

2\3rds of the cleaning staff decided to leave so i'm holding interviews tomorrow,

Winter!! Winter!! they don't know the meaning of the word, god it's wicked, it's nippy in the morn, down to 2degrees, but it's still 25ish in the day.....and sunny....and dry!

We're totally enjoying starting on all the improvements in the motel, we've got a wicked new website coming (coutesy of a BE member) so i'll post that when it's finished.

I really hope all of you still in Blighty get here as soon as poss, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be by now....

Glad thats sorted.

We have flown from Glasgow before but not to OZ I undersatnd its cheaper in the last part (last 2 weeksi think) of august because the kids have gone back to school.

May be too late for you though is it.

Hi WV wow have to confess I had never heard of it before it sounds very welsh unless i'm pronouncing it wrong.

I looked it up on google very nice.

I had you down for more of a beach kind of gal are you far from the coast.

Could have sworn you would have settled in cairns and gone for the complete laid back option

good luck with the interviews i hope it wasn't you who scared them all off

So sorry to hear about yr mam Kaye.

We had a great time in Oz altho it rained most of the time but at least we have seen it at its worst! Haven't got a clue where we want to live drove round and round gave up in the end and just had a holiday.

Been to see another estate agent today the one that does auctions think we will give them a try. Do you know anyone that has sold by auction.

Lorna

Thanks.

Do you mean Pattinsons a house on the next block to us sold with them at auction.

It did need complete modernisation..... it sold for £160k.

Glad you had a great time we were lucky when we were there in Brisbane it only rained at night.

The weather was great while we were in perth so cant complain.

See you haven't been put off then hope you get something sorted soon.

Hey don't worry about it love, I understand.

We've got 18 units, and we did here to Bundy in 90 mins.

We have a lot of people from the Base Hospital, that's your isn't it? It's the only 4star in town, and Gayndah is officailly the oldest town in QLD, next year we have the orange festival which is awesome aparently.

We've got lots of plans and new ideas we want to implement, but it's still a lot to learn.

xxxx

I'm developing a new website and will show you all when it's finished.

Congrats to rosebee
It's a tough market now hey?

We don't come on here much but i'm glad we've seen a fellow marchie at last selling.... (still cossing fingers for the colebecks too)!!!

Although it's winter here, and yes it's cooler!!.....we've just come back from a weekend of camping in the rainforest...and ....OMG!!!....it was sooooo beautiful!! I was worried we would be cold in the night but oh no..we were roasting. We felt soooo relaxed and chilled.......for us the move was about experiences like this

Things weren't amazing from day 1 but my gosh our life here has just got better and better and we absolutely love it here now. We have fab friends and every weekend is something to look forward to!
and in 2 and a half weeks we move into our own house with our own pool!!!OMG!!

God bless, good bye!!!! (i'm not religous in any wayBTW)
I'm just at 1 with nature and the elements
