<p>Hi Sharon, pleased that you have met Karen and Sue, I know Claire will be in touch when Ollie is better, spoke with her earlier and he is still quite poorly, been off school all week. Sorry to hear that hubby is finding it difficult to get work but am sure something will come along soon, keep everything crossed for you. Also pleased to hear that the boys are settling well in the high school and you are pleased with it yourselves, that gives me more hope now that we will move to the Island.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Still waiting for CO, cant really say on visas, they seem to be taking forever, it seems to be all the HR countries that are getting the visas with the odd UK one slipping thru. God knows how long we are going to wait and DIAC have announced that there are more major changes coming soon, so dont know when we will get there.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Off to bed now, have a nice day and will catch up with you soon. Are you on skype or FB, if so, maybe could chat on there sometime, let me know, bye for now xxx</p>

<p>have been in touch with karen + saw her yesterday her daughter chloe is in my daughters class + they are friends! also met sue briefly yesterday at school.</p>

<p>the boys are doing fine at school-went yesterday to parents day,so much more organised than englands mad parent evenings lol! the teachers are posative wanting to know what there education goals are telling them what they need to do,advice on how to reach there goals for uni etc better than birmingham senior schools in my opinion so I am pleased with it + they are happy so all good.</p>

<p>Hi Sharon, not spoke for a couple of weeks, how you settling in. The children all settling well. How are your boys finding the High School, still good I hope. Have you been in touch with Claire yet, I know she hasnt been too good and her youngest boy has been quite poorly and still is. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>What kind of work does your hubby do and has he managed to find work yet? Sorry for all the questions, take care and enjoy the rest of your evening, xxx</p>

<p>we applied for our visa mid Mar 09, 4.5 months now, but hubby occ is on the CSL so am hoping we get a CO fairly soon, mind you we still have a house to sell, and no interest there, so looks like it could be a while before we get to oz. Just realised you are from Birmingham, Karen is also from just outside Lichfield. Enjoy your coffee with the girls, im sure Claire will keep me informed. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hoping to have a skype session later on with her. Take care and catch up soon xxx</p>

<p>yes all ok thanks,am going to give claire my mobile so Im in when she comes for a coffee!still no news with your visa then- when did you apply?.thanks for getting in touch with your friends-bit strange being here when everyone you know is back in england! its going to take time to get to know new people, but really enjoying it all!!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>hope you hear something soon</p>
