I felt proud because our tiny little island will be hosting the next olympics and it wasnt the ceremony as such, it was the fact we were very much a part of it and will be for the next one.

[QUOTE=Professional Princess;6755643]Can you imagine Gordon when we get a dog? I am keen to get a whippet but if I cant find a decent one (they seem to be bred very small here) then we will get a blue heeler.



Could get a greyhound instead We have and he loves to lounge all day.

Australia has 'been good to us' but its been a tightrope with regards to budget and money.

You also have to develop a thick skin and not take anything that goes wrong as personal and we have tried to stay positive about stuff.

Some days have been bloody hard but yesterday when we had a picnic on South Beach, we had loads of cockatoos fly over our head and I remember thinking I wouldnt want to live anywhere else.

I used to have a greyhound, I think they might just be on the large side for me, unless I get a nice little bitch. Although there are whippet babies for sale in todays paper. If we were in the house now, I would go and have a look.

Oh Nicky I am so nervous about the finance and saced it will fall through. I am always wary of getting too excited about things in case they are taken away from me. I cant help it.

We are meeting the broker tomorrow.

Mags I hope the finance goes through, I know if its meant to be then its meant to be but then I can start planning. Our tenancy expires on Oct 6th I think and settlement is 10th October so we need to make plans.

Shame you are not near me, you would be welcome for a few drinks.

Bloody fantastic news Sam!!!

I knew you couldn't be going back to the UK, you 2 are so happy there!

I'm sure that this will work for you and you will all be very happy there.

Congrats from sunny Canada!

Ps, glad to hear your Dad is doing ok.

Well done on house purchase. May you and OH have many nice cous cous meals in it.

You utter, utter cow!

I got to a certain line and my heart dropped.

Do not do that to me again!

Congrats on the house.
