fourcorners Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 My OH has just applied for a job in the UK, we knew it might be coming up, a little sooner than expected but I'm not complaining. Makes me wonder now will our daughter be born here or there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hmm - travelling while heavily pregnant or travelling with a new baby? Good luck whichever way it turns out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRaynor Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Drat! I have to put my departure back to August now because my teaching job isn't available until September. Thought I was down to 88 days. Never mind. A crisp 37 degrees in Brisbane today, 41 tomorrow ! So much for the outdoor lifestyle huh?

Â Yes, will certainly be interesting whichever way it works out! Although the way work is going I could happily jump on a plane this evening.

bitman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We're back since 7th Jan and all is good. Wife is moving from contact to contract and is much happier (she's a contractor). Found temp furnished housing as long our container is underway. Yes it's cold and very wet, raining everyday but that's live. Â I do miss the birds singing but one thing that comes to mind is how still it can be, no more noisy V8's, US trucks using their engine brakes and spinning wheels from boy racers.

The birds will be singing soon when spring begins, then you'll want to be shooting the darned pigeons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKW Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wow, it's come at last! Under the 50 day mark is always good! Â It has come at last, I admit I had a bit of a wobble about whether we were doing the right thing, but it didn't last long. I think I just panicked because my son was talking about having no friends n the UK. I know he'll be fine, he's a very confident little boy and staying here just because he has friends here is not a reason to stay!! Just getting organised now. Feel a huge sense of relief.

robswife Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Just a quickie to say after a very long and tiring journey i am "home" even if it is only for 3 weeks. Weather has been lovely today in Staffordshire, with a little rain :smile: I am loving listening to the garden birds, everything appears to be in technicolour, so lush and green, garden looks amazing with the multitude of shades and colours, shopping (the little i've done so far) can't believe how cheap things are we were like kiddies in a sweetie shop last night. simple pleasures such as a ham sandwich tastes soooo much nicer.......
