<p><p>Hope you are well and life is treating you well. Have missed you! :wink:</p></p>

<p><p>:biggrin: Hows things? Its been ages!</p></p>

<p><p>Merry Christmas Em - hope you have a great time. :hug:</p></p>

<p><p>Good thanks! Trying to understand what the hell happened to the weather this weekend - its meant to be summer and I'm wearing a hoodie - wtf? lol. How are you two doing? Still loving Oz?? xxx</p></p>

<p><p>Hello! I'm good thanks - plodding along here but all is good. How about you? Am starting to loose track of what you are up to, but sounds like you have work which is great news! Hope you're having lots of fun! xxx</p></p>

<p>I recall thinking that Melbourne is way bigger than I remembered when I arrived. Just goes on and on. So many cool pockets of inner suburbs. I work not far from Camberwell, in Hawthorn.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Sounds like a rough couple of weeks to start your adventure but at least it can only get better. Good luck with the job hunting and make the most of your holidays. The weather is already looking up, woohoo!</p>

<p>Hey again you! Just got back from our few days away. The GOR is stunning - breathtaking scenery and beaches. Shame it rained the whole time! Aaaah the Victorian weather, lol. So how are you getting on? Did you start the fruit picking job? xxx</p>

<p>Hey! Welcome to Oz! How are you settling in? Yes, its true, the Melbourne weather is pretty up and down - no assumptions about barbie weather this time of year. But then again it still beats the cr*p out of blighty in my opinion! Where are you staying at the mo? So much good stuff to come for you both!</p>

<p>Hello Stace, how are ya hun? Am really good thanks, had a nice b'day. Me, Steve and the pup are heading away for a few days along the Great Ocean Road today so can't wait for some fresh air and nature, and some time to relax. How are you getting on? Have you started your new job? Hope you and Paul are good. xxx</p>

<p>Well, good on you. Please may I call you Sir? :biggrin::tongue:</p>

<p>Seriously though, hope all is well in Geelong. Hoppers is positively grim - however given my Luton roots I feel strangely at home...:biglaugh:</p>

<p>Hellooooo!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>When was his modship crowned??? Does this mean you have to be proper-like now? :policeman::jimlad:</p>

<p>Wow, that's really quite soon. Very exciting!</p>

<p>That sucks that you have frequenting QLD health, hope that you are ok. But YAY for hot doctors!!! Do hope you feel better soon and take care x</p>

<p>Hey Afro - hows things? Hope you're keeping well and that your plans for Oz are coming along nicely. Melbourne is awesome, sure you're going to love it here!</p>

<p>Hi Daisy, thank you for my click. How are you? Its been ages. I do hope you are well.:hug:</p>

<p>Hello Dawny, how are you? How is your daughter? Thanks for the tip. We have heard you can buy Yorkshire tea in certain places at an extortionate cost. Maybe I'll treat myself when my first paycheck comes in! Hope things are good with you xxx</p>

<p>Thanks for my valentine <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> How are you doing? Haven't been on for a while:biggrin:, am so out of the loop. Hope all is well. x</p>

<p>Congratulations hun!!! That is such cool news! Hope you have arrived safely and are getting settled x</p>

<p>Thanks for my lovely message Paul. Hope you are doing well, and talk when I am on the 'dark side'! :jiggy::wubclub:</p>

<p>Thanks very much. Its pretty exciting!!</p>

<p>Glad your last day was good hun! And yes, how cool that would have been if we were on the same flight. We could have had a few drinks on the flight and a laugh to calm our nerves! <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p> </p>

<p>Best of luck with it all Em and have everything crossed that it goes seamlessly for you. Talk on the 'other side'! Woohooo!! I am on FB - Katherine Nix. Feel free to add me if you are on it too. Lots of love xxxx</p>

<p>Hey you <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My last day was good thanks - though not sure its sunk in yet that I am never going back! How was your last day/drinks? Can't believe the day after tomorrow I am off. Am flying with Singapore and have a 10 hr stopover there so have booked myself into a transit hotel for 8 hours. Kind of dreading the flight as am nervous flyer but also can't wait to get going! How are you getting on? You all packed etc?? xxx BTW, you on FB??</p>

<p>Hello Sue. Glad all is well with you. Have not had much time to be on here much either so don't worry! Have a million things to do before I fly on Wed but am getting there, slowly. Last day at work tomorrow and feeling a little emotional though very excited. Take care, love Kat xxx</p>

<p>Nick - have sent it to your email address you gave me a few months ago. Kat x</p>
