We only ever saw this as a one way trip......10 years on and we still feel the same! Love Rudi ​x

Yep - plenty of gymnastics clubs around! My daughter has a part time job coaching at one of our local clubs - it's a small club but they get some great results - she loves her little level 1 and 2 squad! Great part time job for a teenager to have - beats tossing burgers at Maccers any day of the week! When you decide where to live, go onto the gymnastics queensland website and use their club finder - you just put in your postcode and it lists the clubs within a certain distance of where you live.

LOL - well yes, Redland Bay is also lovely - and I can tell you ALL about this area.......but I read the OP's post and I just thought that if they were happy to be 2 hours from the airport, then they could have real and beautiful beaches......which is why I think the Sunny Coast might suit them more!! Love Rudi x

Ah - that's interesting Mummy Mann because I have always recommended them to clients!!! I obviously don't want to be recommending them if there are issue with them - can you PM me with what the problem was with them please? Thanks Love Rudi x

I agree that the Sunshine Coast sounds like it might be the best place to look. I don't really know the area well, so can't offer advice on suburbs!!! Love Rudi x

Hi Jen Oh my goodness!! What a muddle!!!! Can't believe they gave your hubbys job to someone else!!! If you want to send me a PM or fill in a form on my website with your dates I will see if I can help you. The link to my site is in my signature. Good luck! Love Rudi x

It very much depends on the area you are looking in, whether you are looking for a pool, whether you have pets etc etc. As above - 3 - 4 weeks is probably enough time........but I have had clients who have booked in for 4 weeks, and had to extend their stay...... but then I have had others who have booked for that amount of time and found something in 2 weeks!!! Love Rudi x

Well the good news is that it's a much easier process over here in Queensland to buy and sell houses!! I hope everything goes through smoothly for you! Love Rudi x

You won't have to pay in Brisbane either....unless you choose to send your children privately! $9000 sounds very expensive though - the charge in NSW is $4500 Love Rudi x

Nah - let him stay. OK, so when he was young he was an idiot and did some stupid stuff, but it sounds like he's made good..... Love Rudi x

I agree with Quoll in terms of schooling. I would talk to the school about it too, because a lot of kids seem to do a kind of half school and half TAFE thing in years 11 and 12. It is not an option where my kids are in school, but I know other kids who are doing this. It kind of gives him the best of both worlds - being with kids his own age, but also being able to study through TAFE Love Rudi x

Have a good flight! I hope the airport is clear of snow! Remember to put some shorts and t-shirts in your hand luggage.....it's hot hot hot here!!! Love Rudi x

AWWW Honey, I am so sorry to hear your news. Around this time last year I lost my beautiful Charlie cat who had been with me for 16.5 years, so I know exactly how you feel. Big hugs to you. Love Rudi x

I think bills can vary A LOT!!!!!! Our electricity bill is rarely under $1000 a quarter for a family of 5. Our school fees are $26000 a year at a private school for all 3 children No Gas Rates - $2500 a year - which also includes water Private Health $4200 a year Love Rudi x

It really depends on where you are moving to and how picky you are about a long term rental! Some people find somewhere to live very quickly - within a couple of weeks, others take longer. I Sydney, the competition for rentals is much more fierce than it is in Brisbane, so you might need longer! Love Rudi x
