<p><p>Thanks for your note! Yes, the charity work means so much more when you actually know the person... I am not really happy here in Sydney unfortunately. Have no luck in finding work and that doesn't help. I know nothing is forever and one day the situation will change somehow but in the meantime it is... difficult.</p></p>

<p><p>Good luck with your visa and I hope you find what you are looking for here in Oz. x</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Ah bless you! You'll be fine.... make sure you wear an amazing pair of shoes and you will dazzle them with your fantastic personality!! I had my interview on Monday but have heard nothing back, have another one with a different company tomorrow so I will keep my fingers crossed for us both! Good luck x</p></p>

<p><p>Lovely photos!</p></p>

<p><p>Thank you!!! Fingers crossed!!! xxx</p></p>

<p><p>It is the same for us.... looks like we have to stay here for the time being. I really want to go home too. One day. That thought keeps me going! Xxxx</p></p>

<p><p>Hello! Thanks for your note.... yes, the forum has been a bit of an uncomfortable place lately so I have been keeping in the background. I suppose these trends come and go.... Hope you are well! X</p></p>

<p><p>Aw thank you! There are a few judgemental folk around, it turns me into a bit of a monster when I read certain things..... so been keeping a lowe-er than usual profile lately x</p></p>

<p><p>Thanks for the add! X</p></p>

<p><p>Yes, it is true! However, silver lining and all that.... I can feel a book coming out of all my experiences. I will write it whilst wearing my Uggs :laugh:</p></p>

<p><p>Helloooo, how's it going? Today's <em>cultural activities </em>have included sticking my new reggo sticker in the car and making a mushroom pasta for dinner :err: At the moment I am listening to a mixture of Bowie, Floyd, Depeche Mode and Otis Redding and reflecting on your last post re friends. Friends can turn up in the weirdest of places, including forums!... I am friends with people who vary wildly in the way they are, but all of them are important to me. </p></p>

<p><p>I am sure if I were to meet up with a few on here in person we would get on like a house on fire!!! Make sure to drop by if you come by Sydney, who knows, if we can afford it we may even make our way to Adelaide at some point, so put the kettle on xx p.s I'll bring Jaffas</p></p>

<p><p>Yes, I have done the whole look at retraining route, but it was too damn expensive so abandoned all thought. My OH is an ops manager, he works in metal perforation, they headhunted him to set up a new facility here in Sydney, which he has. Company invested a lot in new machinery plus our costs so I suppose they will want to keep him.... the feeling of being so precarious does my nut in.</p></p>

<p><p>Certificate to be barsita! See what I mean?!!! FFS!!!! I did voluntary for the RSPCA and that was a bit of a piss take... so now I am helping a friend fund raise for her kid who needs an operation to walk again. At least I am doing "something". It can't go on forever though, a solution will have to be found at some point.</p></p>

<p><p>If you ever come to Sydney for a weekend/holiday be sure to look us up!!!! I have a couple of scouser friends too, and a lot of Irish, we all enjoy a good drink and a party! My motto is that I WILL WIN in the end..... don't be beaten either. France........mmmmm (do they sell Jaffas?)</p></p>

<p><p>I am temp too.... is gumtree any good for casual jobs?</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>My highlight of the day is the camembert and tomato roll I am eating right now, mmm</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>As for the housework, the secret is to hide most of the ironing at the back of the cupboard xx</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>YNWA!!!!!!!!!!</p></p>

<p><p>Just sent you a mail with some piccies! x</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Well, yes, I suppose it is better to have others in the same boat! The party went very well, at least that is something bar the hangover!</p></p>

<p><p>Seems that 2012 is a bad one for me, one thing after another tbh. Just hope to get through it and come out the other end x</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Well, a bus trip into the wide unknown will be worth it for jaffas!!!</p></p>

<p><p>I am ok, been meeting with recruiters (God love em) maybe one of them will one day find me a job lol! Seems I am just a weird person with weird work background and the poor Ozzies can't work me out.</p></p>

<p><p>Planning surprise party for my OHs 50th at the weekend. It is a combined birthday + Paddy's day, we have a lot of Irish friends so I am sure it will be good fun.</p></p>

<p><p>Feeling very autumny here right now, summer def over. The thought of 6 months with no Christmas to break it up feels daunting!!! Another reason to head back to the Northern Hemisphere....</p></p>

<p><p>How about you, any luck with work? I am helping a friend to fund raise for her son (<a href="<a href="http://www.aaronsnextsteps.com" rel="external nofollow">http://www.aaronsnextsteps.com</a>" rel="external nofollow">www.aaronsnextsteps.com</a>) and it is making me feel useful at least.</p></p>

<p><p>Hope you are good! xxx</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>How are you doing? Have you found any jaffas yet? :rolleyes:</p></p>

<p><p>Helloooo, did you get my email? Xxxxx</p></p>

<p><p>You see, the sun only comes out in the Blue Mountains!</p></p>

<p><p>Hi Shoes, Mr Grump is indeed an eel :cool:</p></p>

<p><p>Right Sherlock what's the plan? :rolleyes:</p></p>

<p><p>Just sending you some well deserved :hug: Get yourself down to the Trafford Centre and shop your grief away.... then send me a message and tell me how wonderful it was so I can gloat xxxxx</p></p>

<p><p>Are you stalking me Mrs H? :laugh: Lmao :biglaugh:</p></p>
