19 Months !!!
 
Hi all aint been on in ages but thought i'd update and let ya know we are still here in not so nice and hot perth !!! but weathers changing thankfully summers round corner.
Well we been here nearly 19 months omg time fly's when your constantly having fun, we just love this place and have settled into a new way of life now, if anyone read my last post i was just starting a nail tech coarse which should have taken 16 weeks, well it ended up taking 7 months with a huge break of 3 months but thankfully i've finished now and have just received my certificate so i'm well chuffed.
But while i was on the 3 month break i thought i'd try my luck with new business adventure, i'd done house cleaning for years back home and thought i'd try over here so to cut a long story short i'm now my own BOSS cleaning offices and meeting some really nice people.

My hubby as been in his job now for 10
months (thats brilliant for him as he never had a good start if you read other post) and he really likes it probably because he's the Manager and he does the hiring and firing lol.

Kids are still happy eldest is looking to start apprenticship as soon as she turns 16 in hairdressing, and youngest has grown loads and got the aussie twang and is happy in school.

So in a nutshell were all still happy, have a house we bought in feb this year, boats, and kids, and love the weekends and looking forward to the summer.

Sometimes i miss family but not very often lol (sorry) i do miss my mates though but thanks to internet we keep intouch.

Anyway i hope everyone is as happy with there move as we are.

Thanks sonn hubby is WA workshop manager for large trucking company, he's worked in the trade for years back in the uk, but always on the spanners so a big change for him but he's enjoying it thankfully.

Thanks, we hope so, we lived in Adelaide before, came bk & then decided to give it another try but in Perth, however some ppl say its quite isolated! we will see soon enough hopefully, its Perth for us because of jobs, seems to be much more choice.

Yes some say it's isolated but we have everything we need, and we have'nt had any trouble finding work there's plenty out there what do you do ?
We love weekends, even more so in the warmer months as we go out on boat if it's nice, but if weather not so good we go 4x4ing in mundaring it's great so if ya get bored when you arrive give us a shout i'm sure you'll love it :thumbsup: best wishes tracey x
