All depends on work and money to be honest, would like to live in places like darlinghurst or paddington, but i believe they are quite expensive places to live.... If money was no option, would like to have a penthouse overlooking Sydney harbour, but thats very unlikely...in fact it's probably safe to say an impossibility.

As i now have a baby niece on the central coast (North Avoca)... my 1 and only niece, i am drawn too up there, and with my brother and sister-in-law already living there, it would make the move a bit easier (at least i have options ) Seems a long way of though as only just started the application process... How long u been there?

Gateway...oh my god!!! Spoke to them today re academic transcript i requested 6 weeks ago. The secretaries in room 506 who said they had it all in hand said I would have to get in touch with archives as they now deal with all that. I could have cried. Luckily there was a very nice young man at the other end of the phone who felt sorry for me and he went away and came back and said he'd sorted it, just like that!! Can't imagine he'll be working there long, he's far too efficient!! Who was your personal tutor? Mine was Stan Duncan. Fondmemories of him?? Ha ha. What you up to in Essex?

My personal tutor was Alan Downing.... don't even say it!! i know!!! LOL and ROFL (with tears streaming down my face!!!!) And I thought I had problems!!!! He's retired now actually. Think the last straw came when he was mooned in the middle of a lecture!!!!

going back to the manuscript bussiness, i have requested it from that young man in archives (Dan Newton) (Nice boy!!) so hopefully it won't take too long.
I am working on an organic assessment ward (NHS) here in Essex

Organic assessment as in older age or adult?
