Re: Having a bad time
Thanks for the hugs you lot. I'm feeling a bit perkier today.
Been out and bought a new iron...stuck it on the already overloaded credit card.
Didn't read our kind offers of an iron nb and Kath, only just come in. Thanks girls, that was really kind of you.
See you guys Friday. Mrs Best, can't you fly over eh? Not much to ask and I've got a spare room!

Re: Having a bad time
Having a really shi**y day today and need to moan. So switch off now if you don't feel like being moaned at. Things have just reached a peak I s'pose. I will enlighten you;
1) Last week the car was broken into on the drive. They didn't take anything, just smashed the lock in. And we supposedly live in a nice area in a safe cul-de-sac
2) Hubby got a new job..yippee...what they didn't tell him was we would be absolutely broke for a month whilst they bugger about with his pay.
3) The iron blew up. Now my ironing pile is about 5ft high. Then again, I s'pose that's a good thing. Can't afford a new iron yet.
4) Things got a bit heated over the weeked with OH and I finally told him we are deffinately going back to the UK. All very tearful and draining but he's agreed it's the best thing for me and he will support me on that.
5) Yesterday I had to have one of our cats put to sleep
as he was diagnosed with feline lukemia. Crikey, putting an ill cat to sleep is bad enough, but ordering one to be destroyed that is looking very healthy is heartbreaking. I haven't told the kids the truth. I've told them I found him a new home where he wouldn't be beaten up by my other cat.
6) Then last night, on the way home from school the steering on the car decided to start making really awful grinding noises. It's going to the mechanic tonight. God knows how much that's going to cost.
7) Finally, last but not least, I am so homesick at the moment it's ridiculous. Every minute of every day is spent thinking about home. I can't seem to function without something about home popping into my head.
Mods, please don't put this into the barbi. I couldn't hack any grief from some people in there.
I'm just so sad at the moment.
Ok moan over. You can wake up now.

Secondly, you gorge those chocs sweetie. That will assist the first issue by putting on a bit of fat in order to burn it off!

Re: Having a bad time
It's not moaning! I'd feel so sad and naffed off too. Just wanted to send big hugs to you and say sorry about your poor cat. If your hubbie has agreed to go back does that make you feel a bit better or worse? If you can just look at what time you've got left, at least you have an ending here in sight? can you get a calendar and count the days? (I would!). If you're anywhere near the gap in brisbane pm me and I can meet you for a coffee or something?x
As for my hubby, he may have said the words "Ok, we'll go back once you're qualified" but I know, in his heart, he doesn't want to. He loves Australia and wants us to go over to Brisbane and try our luck over there. He believes it's just Perth that's not right for us. I think if I moved there I would still eventually end up going home, so why delay the inevitable eh?
How does your hubby feel about it all?
Oh, and thanks for the coffee invite...tad far though!!!

Re: Having a bad time
Hey liver bird, you're in your early days over there aren't you? I know you've not settled from the start but I really do hope that things improve for you and it starts to feel like home.It would make life so much easier for you.
As for my hubby, he may have said the words "Ok, we'll go back once you're qualified" but I know, in his heart, he doesn't want to. He loves Australia and wants us to go over to Brisbane and try our luck over there. He believes it's just Perth that's not right for us.

didn't realise you were in perth! hope you feeling better? I'm still not settled,dont think I ever will be and I think UK the right place for us. And if you're trynig in Brisbane beware the horror humidity! that is the killer for us as it makes life near impossible, especially having two toddlers and pregnant. We're trapped inside a lot of the time as it's just too hot and I an'f face dragging them round another air conditioned shopping mall, buying things we can't afford! We of course arrived in the hottest month but find brisbane too slow and feel like my life has gone back in the past about twenty years! (sorry to all those that love brisbane, just my opinion x)

(sorry to all those that love brisbane, just my opinion x)I remember being heavily preggers with our girl during an English summer. I used to lie on the sofa naked, with the big fan pointing at me! What a sight I must've been. A bit like a beached whale I bet!
Isn't it funny that one of the reasons most of us came here was because of the sunshine. Yet we find ourselves not doing very much in it because it's too damned hot. Just like rainy days in the UK eh?
Have you decided whether you will be staying or going home yet? How does your hubby feel about it all?

Re: Having a bad time
I used to live in South East Asia and we used to take a lot of holidays in the region.
We were once in a village on one of the islands in the Philippines (Oriental Mindoro) and we noticed how many single white guys were on holiday too - loads of them. Then it dawned on us that they were hanging out with very young local children....they were almost certainly paedophiles.
Certainly there were European men there but we definitely heard Aussie accents too. The horrible thing though is that it seemed to be quite normal - the local adult Filipino population were obviously quite poor and didn't seem to be concerned that these white guys were hovering around these children.We saw similar goings on in Thailand too...and it's well known that paedophiles operate in Vietnam and Cambodia (eg. Gary Glitter). Sickening. These scum operate all over the world though - there is a TV series on the CBS TV channel here in the US which traps would-be paeds who get on teenage chat-lines and arrange to meet up with (whom they think) young teenagers.
