That brought a welcome smile to my face!

It's a long time since I heard of someone who came from where they hung the monkey.

Re: I'm a bit scared.....

You need to start making lists!

Re: Anyone buy in Oz before getting visas?

Totally agree with Wendy, you'd have to have someone you trust completely, but I wouldn't buy a house that my husband hadn't seen too, and vice versa.
