My winnings came in useful as i booked my daughters flight to scotland for next year (its her 21st birthday pressie from us), i couldnt believe it when we came out the travel agents and she burst into tears:huh: However now she is just really excited and planning taking an empty case and filling it with cheap clothes.:D

I have asked her to write an update from her perspective when she comes back, (hopefully she will do this as it could be a real help to people moving with teenagers) I wonder how she will feel?. she came here at 15 and now at 21 having her first trip back (except for the first two weeks we were here and sent her home to sit her scottish standard grades, lol, what a bloody waste of money that was, now she is doing her degree here it doesnt matter a jot!)

Great to read Margaret, you've been on a long hard twisty road. So congratulations for sticking it out.

Personally speaking what I read into this, is for you, it's been about making real Australian friends and letting them be part of your life.

Your news is the cherry on the top of a great weekend of news for me.
