Two years of hell on earth!
Just kidding. 
My two year anniversary of arriving in Oz happened on 1st December 2010. It was also the day that I finished paying off the loan I had to take out to cover the neagtive equity on the house I had in the UK which took 18 months to sell. (I have eaten only beans since March).
So I start the summer with no visa condition (I came on RSMS with two year tie to employer) and no debt, with nothing to now hold me back from making the most of this wonderful, even though it sometimes rains more than we'd like, country.
I feel truly free for the first time since I arrived! And its awesome.

Re: Two years of hell on earth!
Cheers Guys!
I have to say that even though I've been frustrated at times, with having to work in woop woop when I really wanted to be by the beach, and having to fork out cash to sell my house when three years ago I would have made a mint - I have no regrets. I miss my folks, but hopefully they'll move out here one day too!
Now lets have a drink - cos England are whacking the Aussies and life does not seem like it can get any better right now!!!
