Default We're back!

Just thought I'd let you know that we are back home and although we've only been back a couple of days, so far, it's fab

We've met up with loads of our friends and they were so surprised to see us again. (And pleased hopefully ). I've been offered my job back at the pub and start again on Saturday night. Hubby already has a couple of interviews in the pipeline so we are keeping fingers crossed that he doesn't have to wait too long before he's back earning again. My eldest has been offered her part time job back again and my son has got an interview for a job. The only stumbling block is that my youngest daughter's place has been filled at her high school but we are hopeful that we can manage to get her in somehow. (She has just written a pleading letter to the head begging to be given her place back!). All their friends are so excited to have them home again.
We are staying with my parents which is a bit of a squeeze but it's no problem so far. (Hopefully we'll get our own house back in March. We're going out car hunting tomorrow, and went out today buying loads of winter clothes.

Anyway, will keep you posted on how things go here.

Hello, you organised that quick! Welcome back! In spite of what many others say about it being cold, dark, etc, I think this is a lovely time of year to be in the UK - build up to Christmas, twinkling lights, crisp air....I love the UK in winter (with a few exceptions). Hope you have a lovely Christmas back home.

Hi Julie - you sound so delighted to be home, it comes over so much in your post. Australia is a nice country in many ways but it's not for everyone. You are so fortunate to have your home to go back to. Good luck with everything & have an absolutely wonderful Christmas

Hi there Julie really glad to hear everything is going okay.
I am planning my escape at the moment and I too am having problems getting my Son back into his old school just waiting for a form to appeal against the decision.
Good Luck enjoy Christmas in the cold you lucky thing.

Ooooh how lovely, a cold dull grey Christmas! I envy you! Get the tree lights on, put the fire up high, close the curtains and snuggle up in front of some decent tele!! You lucky sod!!

I hope the future in the UK continues to work well for you. Have a great Christmas. xx

Really pleased things are slotting together again quickly Julie, well done. Things will be even better once you get your home back and I"m sure your daughter will get a place - someone is bound to leave during the school holidays.

Take care.

Thanks everyone
It's strange how you don't realise what you've got here until you haven't got it anymore. Does that make sense?
My kids haven't stopped smiling since they got back. In fact I've not seen much of them at all.
And to Suzie (Toon), that's what this was. One of life's experiences. I'm glad we did it, but it wasn't for us and I'm so glad to be back.

I'm absolutely delighted for you!
You did it! It is almost as if it is a braver thing to do than venturing off to Australia in the first place, if you know what I mean.
How long were you in Oz for?
