It's been a long time but here I am !!

[Stuju]

G'day to you all, well it's me im back & theres so much on here to catch up on not sure i ever will catch up on all thats been happening
For those regular members will remember me Stuju previously known as gizmo I think the following was one of my last posts

"Ok seeing as we are not allowed to join Essex to aus thread here is one of our own QUOLL where are you ??

I will start by saying .................
been in oz almost 2 years (ok still a shortish time) but would jump on the big white bird tomorrow if i could.
Why - i cant explain that its too hard to put into words but theres so much about England that i miss & long for - aussie life is so very very different and not what i expected at all.

My heart got left behind in England and i need to go back to get it - but at the mo i cant, circumstances and committments keep me in oz along with a daughter & hubby who dont even wanna go back in a wooden box !!!

Lets hear it from you guys who would like to go home (where ever that may be as i guess we not all from England) but for some reason cant at this moment in time

(one day i will post a thread on here "gizmo's going home"
cheers
gizmo x"


Well i said i would & yes im going back but sadly only for 3 weeks holiday i land in England exactly 4 years to the day i flew out of Heathrow, im so ready for a trip home now im bursting at the seems.

Yes i still feel exactly the same & would still nove back home tomorrow for good, but my wonderful hubby is hopeing that i will change my mind once ive had a trip home, so who knows, i am keen to find out myself how i will feel after my hol & im back in oz along with my youngest daughter who is now 16 & was 11 when she first arrived in Oz.

So in the last couple of years i had been working for the NRMA in rd service, great bonuses, great wage,prizes etc but crap hours & weekends,public hols etc.
I quit recently as they would not let me have time off for my England trip even thou i applied in Jan giving them 8 months notice !!!

Still on the Central Coast (NSW) have met some wonderful people & also some bloody idiots as you do where ever you are. Yep I still moan about Oz & im still bloody freezing & missing my radiators

Happy to help anybody who has any questions about spouse visas or any general questions about oz or living here in NSW

Thats about it for now then
All the best to you all, sure hope i see some familiar names on here
