Aye, my mammy said it's freezing. Getting hotter here by the week and I can feel the humidity slowly but surely sneaking it's way in :sneaky:

Guess I'll be moaning when it's 40+.

Why do none of the brush handles stay in the brushes here:unsure:
Cooler

Either because of the dry climate (try hosing the brush down whenever you get the chance).







...or you've bought cheap brushes :sneaky::D

Hmm, Mrs C bought them so it must be cheap, unlike her Pandora bracelet - oh great, you can keep adding to them!

Kids first day in school tomorrow and I am off on a first aid course. Apparently CPR is on a super model and not a mannequin:D

Applied for a job miles away, but it's in a beautiful place and a job has also come up close by. The education system seems to be quite different in SA to the UK. Hope to secure a job for next year soon:fingerscrossed:

Need a job before Mrs C spends all the money:eek:

Must go, got some online reading for the first aid tomorrow.

Good luck with the job hunting & first aid course.:fingerscrossed:
Somehow I think the CPR has probably been oversold but enjoy anyway....mouth to mouth without the risk of baby no 5!:lol:

Glad to see you have your 'been here 2 nanoseconds & loving it' thread!;):lol:

Oh & Mrs C needs to spend all that money.....it's essential to the settling in process!Trust me, I'm a nurse!:sneaky::D

Ha, we've been here two and half weeks and have been living it! Our poor kids have been to the beach for 40mins just once so far, but it needs to warm up for me.


Funny, Mrs C is talking of training to be a nurse. You should do the first aid for me:D

you're a funny man cooler!

You're in for some cracking sunshine this weekend! I know coz we checked out the weather in Adelaide as we are off to glen elg for the long weekend! Can't bloody wait, beach down there is great, love glen elg and there is a british sweetie shop where I can buy Heinz sandwich spread. Essential for a pregnant woman craving all things processed.

Welcome to your new life mate!

Well I passed and I have to say the trainer was superb and first aid training seems to be more common here, oh and I d love role play

Not been to Glenelg yet, far to much fun:D

Adelaide is great with the quirky Southern Expressway, one way in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

Cheers,

Well I have been on a Mandatory Notification course (child protection) today and now have the certificate:).

So I just need my teaching registration and then I am off an running and can teach in Australia! Hopefully I will get it soon so I can get some supply (relief over here). Handing an application in for a job tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Beautiful here today, a lovely 33degs so it warmed up quickly. Looks like the beach this weekend.

Hopefully put some pictures on here shortly.

We've got our driving licences today and blimey, the photographs are that faint, you can hardly see us - fortunate in my case!

Oh and Mrs C has enrolled for a nursing course for Feb. Although it is heavily subscribed so she may not get on but, worth a try.

Got my teaching registration back today and it's only taken four weeks which is very quick. My First Aid certificate has not turned after two weeks, but I am a qualified first aider so any probs, call me:eek:

Not a major update, but we're off to the beach no the kids are back from school. Only 36degrees where we are.

Golf tomorrow so let's see if we can cope with the heat and hack around. Forget Melbourne and Tiger, come to see Mrs C and I at Wilunga Golf Club! Far more entertaining.

I'll get some photos on later, been at the beach every night!

I went for an interview yesterday and they phoned this morning offering me the job:thumbsup: It's not full-time at the moment but pretty sure that it will change over the year. It's 0.8 and split over two campuses so I will need to get a car. I am going to teach the 'equivalent' of A level maths, year 9 science and a little PE:thumbup:
