shak

My husband has his own business, and always feels its much better when someone comes in to hand their cv,as he gets to meet the individual too,plus first appearance count and all that.

If i had a choice i would go in the autumn season, so you can look foward to the festive season,halloween,bonfire night,the run up to xmas,late night shopping and new years.its so cosy,and lovely around that time...

Awww that is soo cutee.yes,unlucky you didnt have your cam ready

Wow!that sounds amazing!i'v been swimming with dolphins before,loved every second of it,beautiful animals.lucky you!

I would love to go to perth.i dont know if im going to get the chance though heard the perth beaches are amazing.and dolphins seen everyday?!wow,really do want to go after seeing that video

Brilliant! Thanks for that diane!

Went whale watching yesterday! Good experience, would've been excellent if it werent for the sea sickness ...saw 4 whales,and i totally missed the breach as the water was very choppy and i put my head down for just a second,when the commentator yelled 'whoa',looked up and just saw a huge splash,gutted!but still a cool experience, and must do.remember to take motion sickness tabs though if your sea sick,i wish i did. Anyway ive heard of the cape solander view point for whale watching,and quite interested. Wondering if anyone on here ever been here? Love whales and dolphins!

You never know she might want the same...

Its really difficult isnt it?!im in the same boat,and have plenty of days when i feel i just cannot do this anymore,its awful.you just got to hang in there.hopefully you get to go back soon.until then just try your best to enjoy australia.see as a really long holiday,lol

I order online too,get it delivered at my mums in uk.when i go back next month i shall bring them back with me

Definitely needs specsavers!going for a holiday to uk in 5 weeks,and boy am i looking forward to shopping.just get quality clothes for the money that you pay.majority of time here i have been shopping at topshop

You've done 5 years here,well done!iv only been here 7 months and desperate to go home.just wanted to say your not alone,there's me and plenty others on here that want to go back.have a serious,long talk with your hubby,hope you both can come to some sort of agreement, which keeps you both happy.best of luck hon

I find things much cheaper in uk,esp fruit and veg,eating out is reasonable in uk too.with cars it really depends what your looking for.and sofas you got to look around,if not just wait for sales lol...good luck with settling in,i guess it'll take time,you've been in oz for 30 years!thats a long time.give it time.cant wait till its my turn to go back,miss the winter festive season

Im in sydney...thanks for that,i'll try and see if they have them in sydney

I didn't know you could get cod in oz...need to start looking around for cod.

Uk fish and chips aren't soggy.not where we get them from anywhere.i really do miss cod/haddock.fish and chips here are just not right

I'd say Melbourne. Im in sydney and regret not choosing melbourne.sydney is nice at first.im not keen on it anymore.people alot more friendlier in Melbourne too (thats my opinion).good luck with whatever you choose.

We haven't actually told anyone yet that we going back next year.but if i were in ur place i'd ignore the negative comments, especially in laws comments lol.tell them to come and try it!!go with your heart,and forget everything else,its your life.

Yeahhh,i always feel like a nap here in oz,im always sleepy.whereas back in uk even if i try i cnt sleep.its really strange.i dont know if its the heat that makes me feel so drowsy

Glad you found answers.its terrible going through it.im also started to think its all due to stress and my hubby feels very certain that its definitely stress.im goin back to uk early next year now,ill see if it changes anything.im shocked that after multiple blood tests no one told you about your iron level

I have seen another doctor,who did blood tests,at the moment this doc is thinking it can be a autoimmune disease, hes referred me to a specialist, but i guess if it doesnt show up with anything then im planning to go home and see if my condition changes,if not,i will see the gp about endometriosis.im hoping it all subsides once im back in the uk...i came out here for my husband only,tried to think positive, but it isnt working out for me unfortunately

Thanks for that info kiwi...another reason i dont want to go through any kind of op is because i actually dont get any pain,i just suffer from nausea and tiredness.and i have researched on endo and the main symptom is alot of abdominal pain.so im beginning to think that maybe its not endo and its to do with something else,such as stress,as this nausea has only got worse since i landed in oz.i got it every now and again before coming to oz,but i again im starting to think that were also due to stress,as i werent 100% about coming out here.im thinking maybe the doc is saying endo just to rule it out.i dont know...what kind of abdominal pains did u get?were they like period pains?

Interesting how u felt better after returning.my husband reckons im going to feel much better too as soon as i land back in uk.fingers crossed.

My doc just recently told me that i may have endometriosis too.and the only way i can find out for sure is by undergoing a laparoscopy, which im scared of!lol...if you dont mind me asking what symptoms did you suffer from?you dont have to answer this question if you dont want,i'd totally understand, im just abit curious to know if it were similar to my symptoms. Im actually getting a second opinion though before i decide its it may well be endo...best of luck with everything.this is one of reasons we going home too

Please take the advice given here.dont put yourself in danger.i know its hard reading all this,but its for your own good
