Massive debts

OH deleted it before I had a chance to watch so today I finally managed to watch it on 1player. You come across in the same way on tv as on here and I really do hope it all continues to work out so well. I smiled when I saw the hamster too

Thanks all! Such lovely words, I don't know quite what to say (for once!).

Just had a call from Wanted Down Under - they are coming to film a "revisited" in April and paying us $600 for the privillege!

Stay tuned! I'm doing 5 nights then on holiday for 3.5 weeks, so will definitely be back to expand as I have threatened to do so many times!

Thanks for hanging around! xx

I was thinking of you and your family whilst I was watching the (recorded) cricket, since it was in Perth.

Take care.

I will look forward to seeing your up date about your new life. Brilliant news.

There's an Australian emigration expo in Glasgow in Feb. OH and I are seriously considering buying tickets for it.

I expect we won't be particularly desirable to the Aussies though and we'll end up just blowing hot air about it. :rotfl:

Damn you OP (meant nicely ), I'm flipping hooked on 'wanted' now! I can see myself in every situation in every episode.

Daughter freaks at the thought though.

Do it! Do it! It is without doubt the best decision we ever made. Not only do we have a degree of financial security which we have never before known but we have a lifestyle to die for. You actually do things with your time off, it can be expensive, but many of our best days have been super cheap. Australia Day for instance, there was lots on at a local beach for free! Free music, bungee trampolines and climbing walls all free for kids! We packed up the esky (cool box:p) with lunch and some wine / beer, lots of snacks and parking was free. We took our campchairs, and shade and set up for the day. We used the BBQs (they are all over the place in just about every park cleaned daily by the Council!), made sausages and fried onion. Had a whale of a day, and forked out only for ice cream because we wanted to:D.

Getting here was the hardest part, saving and paying off debt was a long slog. From hereon in its been absolute magic every single day:j:j.

Truthfully, no regrets. Anyway thats my sales pitch for Oz out the way:rotfl::rotfl:.
