<p>Thanks Sue xxxx</p>

<p>Glad to hear you are OK Sue. Will let Sian know that you were asking about her, she stayed in Natalie's house with her last night to keep her company. She has been on FB, you must be on a different times, she is keeping OK thanks and really looking forward to our reccie, as long as this bloody volcanic ash stays away, bit worried about that at the moment. Its coming back over the UK today and is likely to be causing more chaos to flights xxx</p>

<p>Hi Cath, hows things going, great news on Matt's job, you must be so relieved, one less thing to worry about when you get there. Not long now for you, will catch up soon xxx</p>

<p>Thanks Sue so much for your kind words. Natalie is coping the best she can but at least she has our support and that of her grandparents to get her through this. Im only hoping that we hear something before we come over on our reccie end of next week, if not my mum will have to look after her, lol.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Just took a look at your pics on FB of your trip out on Marie, looks absolutely fab. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>How are you these days, feeling any better, I hope so xxx</p>

<p>Hi Sue, Natalie not too good at the moment, still awaiting for danny's visa and she is a bit stressed over this now. Not at all ready for our reccie, too busy helping Natalie move into her new house. Hopefully next week will get myself sorted. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hows things with you and the family xxx</p>

<p>Nik 17 is warm for us, thats what it has been around for the past couple of weeks and its t-shirts for us, but will pack warm clothes though, lol, sounds like I many need to bring my winciette pjs then, lol xx</p>

<p>Morning Nik, hows things, how did the viewing on the treehouse go, I hope its good news for you xx</p>

<p>So sorry to hear of your tragic loss, my thoughts are with you all xxxx</p>

<p>Keeping everything crossed for you. Nothing new here, just trying to help my daughter find somewhere to live, going to view of house tomorrow teatime, just want to get her settled, trying to buy bits for our reccie too, nothing happening with the house, but im not bothered about that at the moment, got two weeks off work now, so busy,busy, busy, let me know if you hear any more with the house xx</p>

<p>Hi Melanie, any more news on the house, well they must be really keen otherwise they wouldnt be letting all their family come one by one to view, fingers crossed that you get a great offer on it.</p>

<p>Hi Lynne, hows things going, hope you are OK. Im starting to get excited now, 9 weeks until our reccie to Sydney and then four weeks or so after our return, my daughter is due to have her baby and with me working in a school I have all the summer hols off to help her out and spend time with my new granddaughter. Hope Louis is doing well xx</p>

<p>Hi Melanie</p>

<p> </p>

<p>See you are looking at Brisbane again, are you finding more jobs being advertised there now. Also how did the viewing go the other day, have you heard anything or had any feedback</p>

<p>Hi Melanie, hows things going, any more news on the house and any more news on where you are going to settle. We have booked all of our reccie now, going 29 May to 14 June, staying at Avoca Beach on the Central Coast. Being doing a bit of research and we are really going to have a good look around the Hills area, is quite close to the centre and the house prices are very reasonable, also heard that all the schools seem to be very good. Still no movement on the house front for us, given up now with that one, thinking of changing estate agents soon xx</p>

<p>Hi Nic, hows things going, any luck with the house hunting, sorry dont mean to rub it in, but am thinking of you all, hope you find something real soon, will try and catch up with you this weekend xxx</p>

<p>Hi Sue, we are all fine here thanks. Natalie is doing well, had her 2nd scan last week and as far as they can see everything is good. Still waiting on her boyfriends visa to be issued, but we are well aware of what the wait is like for that, lol.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hows things in the Sykes household, good I hope, must try and catch up with you on skype soon and have a natter xxx</p>

<p>Hi Neil/Julie</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Ive not spoken to you both for a while. Hope you are both doing well and enjoying your life in oz. Notice from signature at the top, your missing your daughter, is she planning on coming over to visit. This is the one thing im dreading myself. Just to update you a bit, we were originally planning on coming out this April, now off to NSW. Just before xmas daughter told me she was pregnant, due July, my first grandchild, so our plans are now on hold, doing a reccie in 1st two weeks in June and go from there.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Must try and catch up with you soon on PIO chat also, will look out for you.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Enjoy your weekend.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Debbie</p>

<p>Morning Nik, are you not in work today or just getting ready, booking our ozzie flights this saturday and then will be looking to sort out some accommodation, can you recommend anywhere nearby yourselves, coming over august 11 to 25th. Must try and catch you on skype soon, hope you are all OK, love to you all xxx</p>

<p>Hi Cath, lovely to meet up with you again yesterday, hope your drive home wasnt too long, now dont worry too much about the shippers, ive had two quotes and they dont really look in cupboards they just look around the rooms, its all go for you now, catch you soon xxx</p>

<p>I have been going to this one for well over a year now, quite a lot of them have moved over to oz and there are about 5 families left now, so we have become good friends and meet up every 2-3 months, if you ever want to come along you are always welcome. Im just wondering did you go to the one in the Rocking Horse pub in Aintree last year, cos we were there xx</p>

<p>Well it sounds really positive Melanie and lets hope he keeps to his word and comes for a second viewing, keeping everything crossed and keep me informed. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Noticed you are still looking at lots of areas to move to, its a really difficult one, spoke to hubby and the reccie is definitely going ahead now for August, just trying to sort out some kind of itinerary, will almost certainly stay up in terrigal as a base and i have found a geogous house to rent for 2 weeks and will just have a good look around, will also probably go down to the south of sydney and look what it is like there. The hardest thing though is you dont exactly know where you are going to be working, if you had a job it would make it so much easier on deciding where to live. Have a lovely day, im off to an Ozzie get together in Oldham today, catch you soon xxx</p>

<p>Hi Melanie, just wondering how the house viewing went yesterday, any feedback xx</p>

<p>Hi Lynne, things are good with my daughter, she is now 18 weeks. She has her next scan in 3 weeks and wants to know what she is having. Her boyfriends visa has been submitted so its the waiting game now, but we have been told it shouldnt take any longer than 12 week. We are busy trying to find them somewhere to rent, sort out a wedding, which she wants before the baby is born, then there will be our reccie, then a christening, lol, the list is endless. We are going to need a bloody big bank loan to pay for all this. Need to make a decision next week when is going to be the best time to move over, we need a proper plan now and stick to it. Ive got work on my case, trying to give me a promotion with a big pay rise but will also have to increase my hours, but i dont want to waste their time being trained if im going to leave a few months after taking the job. Thats not in my nature and would rather stay in my job now, which is quite cushy. Enjoy your weekend and catch you soon xxx</p>

<p>Hi Lynne, hows things, just spotted your post on rethinking on Melbourne, dont let one episode put you off hun, there seems to be lots of people who have emigrated there and seem to be very happy. We are now deciding between Sydney and Melbourne, cos not much work for hubby in brissie where i wanted to originally go, but we have to go where the work is, so we have decided to do a reccie and go to sydney, going to look about an hour north of sydney as houses are cheaper. Hope you make the right decision and thinking of you. How is that lovely grandson of yours doing, bet your not looking forward to leaving him behind, take care xxx</p>

<p>Hi Nik, hows things, was talking to claire last night and she told me your good news, 2nd interview, wohooooo, got everything crossed for you and let me know how you get on, hope you are all ok xxx</p>

<p>Hi Sue, hows things in the Sykes household, and how is the little puppy doing. Hope you are all OK. Did you do anything special to celebrate your 1st year in oz xxx</p>
