One Year Update
I'll keep this brief as I'm planning on putting detail into my blog so here's my one year blog.
First Week thoughts - OMG, what have I done?
First month's thoughts - OMG, what have I done?
6 month thoughts - Mum and Dad been and gone - OMG, what have I done?
7 months thoughts - Let's buy a house, it's our best chance of settling - OMG, what have I done?
10 months thoughts - Mike's been offered the job of a lifetime, looks like we'll be here a while - OMG, what have I done?
12 months thoughts - sitting on a plane to the UK exaclty a year to the day after landing in Oz as Mike is going to London for a month to train for the new job. Loved seeing family and friends again but realised almost immediately that home is now Australia. You could have knocked me down with a feather

I am sure we met at a couple of the meets before we came to Oz (I havent gone off the face of the earth - I didnt have my computer for ages).
Glad Australia is now your home - long may it continue!
