News from us -Are you ready for this? "We have SOLD this house, (subject to contract!!!!!!!!!!) We move just before Xmas shock horror!!!!! We are meant to move 20th Dec .That's what you call a result only been on the market 5minutes .We have also found a property over here which will be my project along with France too - I shall be kept busy.I've been making a start on packing your things in your bedroom and I keep seeing you and hearing you say in the teaching authoritative voice you use when you keep me in place "I WILL KNOW IF YOU THROW ANYTHING OUT" so I'm packing it all, there's more than you thought.
Will e-mail you soon to give you full update. We're at Steves this weekend looking after Tom and Scarlet, animals too, I can't wait. Give yourself a big hug from me and take care of one another, I knew 100% Oz would be perfect for you. For now bye luv u lots & lots Mum & Mal Gran too x x x

That sounds great timing as we fly to Melbourne on the 28th, we are planning to stay there at least a month and get jobs (which sucks). Hopefully everything will work out so we can meet up for a few scooners! Look forward to seeing you both

p.s were both bingo fans too!even mecca members so well maybes have a game when you land

G'day you two (just practising for when we arrive!). We have only 9 days left to work and leave for Brisbane a week on Wednesday. We don't get to Melbourne until Monday 18th Dec, and only for 2 days; so we will have to make sure we make arrangements for a drink (or three) so that we don'e miss each other. If we can't meet up there, may be we will see you in Sydney from the 20th onwards to share a bit of "christmas cheer".

It sounds like you had a fabulous time in NZ, albeit very hectic, but I am glad you made time to socialise and Lee ....... how weird did you look as a female?

Lee, did your mam and dad tell you they came down the other weekend and we had a game of ..... shush.... don't tell anyone else..... Bingo .... your mam did not really want to play but secretely I think she enjoyed it. Your dad REALLY enjoyed it though .... I think he will want to do it again.

Well see you soon, hopefully, take care botho of you, love Me and Mick

Hi everybody!
Great to hear from you all. Weve arrived in Oz now, shame about Aunty Ange and Uncle Rob, I thought about them whilst we there, and we went to Wellington, its really lovely and has a nice marina as its a large bay, very windy though. Glad everyones ok, took a rather interesting pic I thought Dad (pete dad not popa smiley)would think was a rather good concept (look for dad web pic). Anyway Sydney is awesome Im loving it and Smilz is again. Were dead excited about you all coming over so are trying not to do anything touristy, weve only been shopping, as to save everything for when you guys come. Were off to bondi tomorrow for a couple of days and staying where you are as everywhere is chocka full, we struglled to find somewhere to stay in Sydney, so well check it out. Looks like were going to Melbourne later this week to look for an apartment and get jobs - well thats the plan at the mo.
Take care everyone and speak soon x x x x

Hiya!

Sounds like you're having a great time. Also sounds like you're being far too energentic!

Thanks for your comments on our blog. We have a hostel booked in Sydney over Xmas and New Year but it sounds like a s***-hole now we've looked into it properly. We're trying to get our money back as we speak. Drop us an email to let us know what date you get into Sydney and we'll meet up for a few cold ones.

Look after yourselves and keep loving every moment.

Lots of love from your fellow travellers!

Nicola and Charlotte

Hi Cha/Leanne?
We're back, e-mailed you we had fab time. Wall to wall sunshine amazing really for November,wos on the beach several times.
Yes Steve will be proud of Lee/Leanne I think Steve's been truly shamed into retirement now!, he'll be gutted - there's a NEW GORGEOUS QUEEN.....I will be sending him proof!! I would have never believed (without proof) you'd get Lee to co-operate. You never fail to amaze me Cha,even after nearly quarter of a century ha! ha!.
We're delighted to see Karen's news as we knew she was hoping for a baby boy. Hope to hear from you soon as I have e-mailed you too. Much love to you both always mum+mal x x x
