Arrived in Brisbane and stayed with friends for 2 nites(thanx guys) then upto Bundaberg (wasnt for us) upto Mackay (again no) onto Townsville. I fell in love straight away. We stayed in an apartment just off The Strand for 10 nites while looking for a rental what a nitemare, stayed with another friend for a couple of nites and found a 2 bed apartment not idylic but a must, OH was goin back to Uk to finish up all the packing (DONT LET YOUR HUSBAND SORT THIS OUT GIRLZ OR U MAY FIND U DONT GET HALF U STUFF LOL)and loose ends. OH was gone for 8 weeks so it was down to me to get the kids settled into schools and into general living downunder. Once OH came back and found work I was determined we wouldnt be staying in the 2 bedroom for long and soon found us a 3 bed house opposite a park which is absolutely fantastic.

In this time I still hadnt found a job for myself, OH arrived back with us at the beginning of June and I had arranged 2 interviews for him that 1st week(lol) he was offered both and decided to take the 1 that he didnt have to work too hard (lazy git lol). I was still applying for jobs and didnt get a sniff until Aug, but it wasnt the job I wanted but coz we needed the money I took as they say beggers cant be chooses, while employed I was offered another job which I took, started in December and was fired in March reason they couldnt understand me grrrrrrrr back to job hunting again.

In between OH parents came out for xmas which was really nice especially for the kids, xmas was lovely we both had 2 weeks off from work so made the most of it.

Since xmas everything has gone downhill at an alarming speed. My dads been in hospital 3 times and is still suffering. and OHs Dad has been given months to live as he has cancer. My bestmate from UK is having the worst pregnancy possible. So at the mo im feeling like I want to go back I know this is not an option as we cant afford it especially as im still struggling to find a job, I think I just need to hear that things will get better again

Thanks again for the support guys im sure over the coming month there will b a lot of tears shed in my house so ill b back looking for some comfort and im sure there will be a few oldies and newbies who will be there for me & the girlz.
