Hey, you're here now, great news.

We've got a landline eventually so you could ring that way or can you skype - watch the download if you're capped as it uses a fair bit.

Oh, you spoke to Mrs C yesterday - she never told me:(

Well, day 3 and so far so good. Simon went into work today to pick up his uniform, he was like a big child showing me it all when he brought it home. I walked to the local shopping centre and had a wee dander about, stopped and had some sushi, WOW I LOVE sushi! Whilst I was sitting eating it though this old man came walking towards me and sat down @ my table saying 'Sorry love, can I just sit here to change my bandaid' I felt like saying, 'Well no actually you can't you dirty get, I'M EATING MY LUNCH AND UR ABOUT TO EXPOSE UR YUCKY OWL CUT TO ME AND TAKE A HONKIN OWL PLASTER OFF IT!!!' like EWWWWWW :blink: Anyhoo, he changed it and thanked me saying 'Enjoy your lunch!' whilst I sat there thinking :sneaky: erm ok lol

This afternoon we went to look @ the house we've been offered and we've accepted it, so fingers crossed we'll be in it asap. Looked at washing machines in The Good Guys and Harvey Normans, The Good Guys were willing to knock $50 off the $700 price, is that a decent deal, or should we ask for more off?

Also looked @ some banger cars this afternoon, seen some possibilities so, that's good....

Anyhoo, over and out....

The Jenster xo :thumbup:

Re: The 'Jen1977ni' Thread!
 

Commonwealth but by all accounts, most are better value - been good to us thus far though.

We have just moved from dongles for the internet to naked dsl!

Re: The 'Jen1977ni' Thread!
 

How rude, put some clothes on! lol We went NAB in the end...

Re: The 'Jen1977ni' Thread!
 

You should be able to get more than that off at GG. If you're buying a few things you might be able to get up to 20% off - but even a single purchase theres usualy more than 10% to be gained in the haggling.

Re: The 'Jen1977ni' Thread!
 

Welcome Jen, a very warm welcome, may your stay be the best and all your dreams come true girl!!!!!


Good Luck Keith:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

Re: The 'Jen1977ni' Thread!

Re: The 'Jen1977ni' Thread!
 

Oh coolio, I'll say a wee heathen prayer for ya mate :o

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Do you think the local uni would let me pop in and print stuff out? Or would they tell me to clear off lol

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

PS When I say 'stuff' I mean my CV to hand in to the local primary schools...

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Only find out by trying. Hearing 'no' won't kill you ;):lol: Local library may be an easier bet?

I don't have to move stuff (not your resume stuff :p) just thought it would make it easier for your fans :wub:

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

HAHA @ FANS...yeah go on then, makes sense to move it...

Went to the uni, girl @ front desk said yes and sent me to library, arrived @ library huffin and puffin cos I'd to ask several people where it was, only to be told no, u have to be a student here lol

So I've returned back to the house to have a glass of juice before trying to figure out how to drive to the library without getting killed in the car! (first day i've driven about on my own)

Went to post office to post a gift to Simon's dad for his bday, the people weren't behind glass screens, how mad was that! Also he asked me for ID, do I look that dodgy? lol :blink:

One more thing, popped to woolies yday to get some stuff, had seen that nestle diet yog on tele so bought some, OMG $3 for two tubs, and they are far too big, aren't there any cheaper fat free yogs?! GULP!

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Just called into the local PCYC, is this an Australia wide thing? I've subsequently emailed them my CV as I've STILL to find a printer, going to go to the local library after this, so it'll all be ok in the end...:thumbup:

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Yes, it's a countrywide thing, they're great places for the kids. I'm surprised your Aus Post didn't have one, they all do around here.

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

What's a PCYC? Could do a google search but thought I'd put a post on here so I get your updates Jen!

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

It's a Police and Community Youth Club, and I thought with my police role in the UK plus my teaching experience, they might find me useful, or maybe not lol

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

I'm sure they would! I guess it wouldn't necessarily be a full-time job, but then that might not be a bad thing eh?!

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Well at least you're busy Jen! It sure beats relaxing in the sunshine sipping a glass and watching the world go by. :D

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Ack I'm just not v good @ sitting around doing nothing, though I guess since I'm now living in one of the most laid back countries in the world, I'd best get used to it lol :thumbsup::cool:

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

I was all confused there for a minute..... Looked at the original thread and was sure I'd read more than what was there and then realised a new thread had been started!

Looking forward to more updates! :)

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Yeah it was MP's idea... lol

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

I thought it was a good idea, stop picking on me!:cry_smile:

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

I aint, I aint lol I was just telling Simon about it and how good an idea it was, and he was like 'Really Jenny, how interesting' <<< He doesn't understand us BE'ers lol

If however you feel u need to make it up to me, you could always make me an honourary moderator for the day lol lol :lol: No?! :o:p

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Outside my capabilities to be honest, and believe me, you really wouldn't want to be one :eek::lol:

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

Hmm, Jen as a mod..... that's a scary thought! :eek:

Re: The 'Jen1977au' thread
 

I've b*gger all else to do @ the moment :lol:....though 2moro I'm gonna go and deliver 10 CV's round some local schools...SCARY BICCIES! :eek:
