Great post Spud. We really enjoyed reading it. We're going back to the UK just after Christmas and can't wait! Have been here in Perth 5 years too long!

Flies already out in full force here this morning which spoilt our Sunday morning walk out so in doing some packing now!

Counting the weeks now!

I know I shouldn't reply to her but it winds me up. My mum always told me it was rude to gloat.
I find the you're not happy... shame... my life couldn't be better... I'm so happy thing rude and insensitive.
Well my life isn't perfect and I'm trying really hard to work myself out of my predicament and yes that means working 50-60 hours a week plus study and being a mum and wife so that I can go back with savings to set myself up, because I don't expect anyone else to sort it out for me and I come on here for a bit of moral support and get oh I have a great life why would you go back? BECAUSE IT'S WHERE I BELONG! SO THERE!

Don't get me wrong Flea, I am happy that she's happy but why shouldn't we be happy and if that means being back in the UK so what, it's horses for courses.

Yes but you forget that these kinds of people had an empathy and sensitivity bybass at birth.
The universe revolves around THEM and they cannot see the world from any other perspective but theirs.
You carry on doing what you are doing and good luck to you. One day their bubble may burst and they will feel very very silly.
