Re: Text / hello from blighty!
Hello girls! Glad to hear that Jo has made it back to the land of the living! sorry I have neglected you all but we have had restricted internet access. We are now firing on all cylinders again but I really just don't have much time spare to get on BXP. I, like Jo, am still Loving Tesco,Asda and even Sainsburys! The choice is endless! Jack has settled into a playgroup and he goes to Tumble Tots which is the UK equivalent to Gymbaroo, so he has a routine developing. He just loves seeing his Granny and Grandad every week and is now very well acquainted with his Aunty and cousins!!!
We are in a rented house in a beautiful village (with an EXCELLENT curry house and chip shop!) minutes from the local pub which serves proper beer! Gee it still feels great to be back! I can hand on heart say that I haven't thought about Oz once (in the hankering for the past type way) I certainly don't miss it at all. Its so wonderful to go to my sisters for dinner or to have friends round for a bevvie and just laugh all night about what you used to get up too! Nathan is getting loads of interest Job wise and they are all for loads more money than he was earning in Australia so that's a pressure off.
I still think about our remaining little gang members and can't wait for us all to be back in the UK again......I will organise one MAJOR piss-up when it happens!!
I have sent photos of Jack taking the dog for a walk in the rain, just in case you need a green grass fix!! Love to you all.............XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Its strange when you dont hear how someones doing for a while, you kinda worry if its all turned out ok and they are just busy..or its gone wrong and they dont feel like posting that
Glad its the former.
There has definately got to be a reunion soon - how lovely
Best wishes to you and I hope your happiness continues

CRISPY DUCK & PANCAKES FROM THE CHINESE!!!
Along with yummy prawn toast and proper chinky chips!!
Had to laugh at Mark the other day, he's so fickle. For 2 yrs in Oz he moaned that McDonalds and Kentucky were crap, not the same blah blah. Low and behold, we took Flynn to McDonalds for lunch and he said, this is horrible, it doesn't taste the same!! Couldn't believe my ears!! That's men for you, never happy!!
