Blimey that time has flown!
What can I say but what I said on Hutch's update - you, Wendy, are one of the people who emigrate and we hardly even notice, because your posts are still in the same vein after you've arrived, still positive, still getting on with life.
Good 'ere ain't it

You bought tears to my eyes, well done with every thing you have achieved.
Stopping smoking/driving is fab in itself...
I look forward to another coffee with you. xxx

Re: Two years already!
My final words
We have been here two years today, and I adore the country, it’s people and most of all I adore the fact that I live here. I don’t want to be anywhere else.
It’s not always easy, I’m not magically rich, and we both still have to work. Today I had a ‘I live in Australia’ moment, my eyes welled up, and the hairs on my arms stood up – I thought of my Mum, who I will always miss and I thought of my son who is still in the UK, and if I could have anything it would be that he was here with me today - but it’s not to be at this point in time. He has said that he will most likely come over once he has finished Uni, but we’ll just have to wait and see if that ever happens.
I am however, extremely thankful for the things that I do have – My OH, my other two kids and the lovely friends and family that I have gained since moving here. I am thankful that I have had this opportunity and I wouldn’t live anywhere else – this is where I belong, it’s where my heart is and it’s HOME.
To all of you on BE, wherever you are in your journey – it has been a pleasure to know you all and I wish you all the happiness you deserve in your future.

If I could capture just a little bit of how you feel about Australia I would be very happy but you do give me hope that I will feel like you at some point (right now it's hard).
It's our two year anniversary on the 15th July.

Re: Two years already!
Hi Wendy, what an excellent post.
I have made some great friends through the coffee mornings you have organised, you are responsible for bringing a lot of happiness to peoples lives, including my own.
I wish you continued health and happiness, well done on stopping smoking

Re: Two years already!
That was for me an amazing read... I have wanted to live in Australia for ever, so long now that when people ask me I cant even remember when the desire started... Things have been stopping the process (not on skills list, babies being bore, unforseen accidents ect ect... I'm 39 now and so determind to emigrate to Australia... my wife is 100% behind me so I have no resitance we just need to find a way oif getting accepted... your story give's me hope and I am so glad I finally found BE...

Re: Two years already!
Thanks to everyone for the lovely comments you have made and for the Karma I have received. It's been a busy week for me so I haven't had much time to follow up on the thread since I wrote it.
Thank you Janet 
You don't get rid of me that easily my friend. I will be popping in from time to time - just not as often as I really don't get the time anymore. You can e-mail me anytime though, and I've PM'd you my phone number
Will be seeing you again soon hopefully.
Never give in, if you want something bad enough you can make it happen
