scrawni,

Good luck with your move.

I am going to be cheeky now and ask what salary your oH was offered. Im fairly sure it was you who's oh was a plumber?
Also is he on provisional licence?

Sorry if I got this info wrong.

Looks like he got work pretty quick anyway.
Hope you get your cat back soon! Im sure she will be fine especially once she is back where she belongs.

I hope the cat continues to improve.

Take care hope that the rest goes smoothly for you:thumbsup:

Hi Mandy its awful when you are so far away and know your pet is fretting I hope it recovers soon it wontbe long before we see ours again they arrive in cairns on the 8th feb all being well they are at eastern creek aswell. Weve managed to finally get a rental house more expensive than we wanted to pay but it has a pool for the kids we offered 6 month rent up front cause when they know you have pets they are not keen.All the best hope it goes well theres always cairns if not!!

Re: 2 weeks on the Gold Coast
 

Hello all,

Back in Helensvale shopping mall as we still havent got internet:curse: The house phone went on yesterday (so I will phone you Gill). OH is sat next to me check internet out now.l

All is good, Ian's working and our son's at school. Daughter is talking about returning to the UK after Easter :( but we were expecting it so we are prepared for it, we sort of.

I have made a few friends, all seem to be Kiwi's (alot of them moving here). We are going away for easter to NSW with a group of 3 families, renting a large house on the beach,going fishing etc.

Almost 2 months in and I can say we are all good. We should get our furniture next week we hope, I can't wait to get all the things which are familiar to us (and our bed).

The cat is now fine, eating normally and back to her old self. Popped into the vets it cost $40 for a 3month course of Front Line (but she said nothing can be a 100% foolproof against ticks - and you have to use front line every 2weeks for better protection. I do wonder if all this stuff will have long term effects on her overall heath.

Gotta go. I will ring everyone promise :thumbup: you'll soon wish you hadn't given me your phone numbers!

Speak soon,

Mandy
