    Yeah I agree, he has managed 4 days and then 5 which I was very impressed with, I did the same which I was pleased about as if I've had a stressful day, I reach for the red wine!
    I think I'm just going to have to try to be the one that stays dry and hope that he will do the same,QUOTE]

    Some positives to build on there. Could always give it a go with the not drinking for a while. In fact we have a 96 hour challenge on the go ATM if you fancy it. Mind you it is 11 hours in for you already only 2 for me :D

    Yeah I agree ....sounds exciting and loads of people want to do it...but best discription is a roller coster... We have had some great time exploring the place but its starting life again, new friends, new jobs, new schools, just finding where the local petrol station is when your about to run out!!! We have found a lot of support in other expats but there have been times when it has been SO stressful,

    I felt like that when I moved 7 miles :) Better not do Oz yet then
