Re: Reluctantly returning to UK....:(
had a text from Rachael today to say the funeral is Thursday 13th. They now have an address so i presume they have somewhere to call home though i doubt it will feel anything like normality right now.
I keep starting to phone her but i really have no idea what to say

Managed to get one child into school, a second choice, but not to bad, still working on a pre-school place, but the grammar school wont take my 17 yr old back, saying he has missed too much and college say he has to wait till September, so he has lost year and will have to re-start his A-levels!
I've applied for a few jobs but not heard anything yet and hubby hasnt got one yet!
Got a car, but still need to sort out dr's ect.......been here before.

offered by the community mental health team?
Or have a look at the depression modules from the Australian link.

Hopefully next week will be more positive and I an going to take the two little ones on holiday with my mum; somewhere nice and warm, her treat.
Maybe that cry and a good nights sleep did the trick?

Congratulations on the job, and have a great holiday - you definitely deserve it!
Amazing the power of a good cry (let's it all out) and a good nights sleep.
Take care,

Re: Reluctantly returning to UK....:(
Well Hubby decided today he hates Oz after just two months and want's to go back to the UK. I have no choice in the matter as we have a nearly 4 year old son....all the hard work, struggles and stress getting here are now all for nothing.
I don't want to go back I want to give it year and then return. I have no choice. If he stays he will resent me and be unhappy and if I go back home I will feel the same.
Not a good situation...and not for our son either...he loves it here too. I got him in a great school and he has made friends. I feel so empty. All I have done today is cry.
At least we all still have our health so not so bad. Not looking forward to moving back...
