Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Take care

Hi mate!

Glad you found your way here!!

Looks like its gonna be a good forum when its fully up and working

Forgot to add in my 'HI' post that my daughter has come on leaps and bounds too. She now swims for her school (could only do doggy paddle when we arrived 12 months ago), does squad training twice a week, does gymnastics & horse riding!

No wonder I never have time to do anything for myself!

Chat soon Sam

I do love London but I can't wait to become an Expat somewhere sunny with a beach nearby. At the moment, I'm just not ready (or brave enough) to make the big move!
Talk Soon,

Hi Bob

Brave???........Nah.............Stupid???......... ...YES

!! (well it feels that way sometimes!!

Very stressful but I'm sure all of the girls will agree with me that its def worth it....nothing ventured........nothing gained and all that

Chat soon

Rach

Hi there,
I am also in the UK. Australia is one of the many places we have been looking at to move to. Any pointers on how their 'points' system works, I would be very interested in finding out more on this if it is possible. We are looking at Sydney.
