    G'day!!! Good to hear all your news - things seem to be moving pretty fast in your debt free-ness, so well done!! It will fly by (unfortunately for me though, as then I'll be back!!) :confused: - but you are all superstars and can do anything you set your mind to - I miss you all & your comments (especially you SS!!) made me laugh, so got some strange looks from people sitting next to me!

    I am too scared to check my bank balance at the moment and have definately overcome my tightwad phase that I was going through - head to surfers tomorrow so will have to lie on the beach and not eat to try and save some money! ;)

    It's been good "chatting" to you and I will probably be around more often when I am in Sydney working (providing they havent blocked MSE of course!!).

    I hope you all have a good day!!

    Ms_Sydney :D xx

    Lucie - You'll have an excellent time, how long are you out here for and where are you starting/finishing? The town of 1770/Agnes Water was great, stay at Cool Bananas and do the Scooteroo tour - Australia Zoo was worth going to (although sad too!), and I will definately be stopping at the water park, Wet'n'Wild when I get to Surfers. Brisbane is a nice town, but not an awful lot to see or do - go to the club "Down Under", its an experience!! I have done so much & enjoyed most of it so its hard to suggest things to see & do, it depends on the time you have. Dont bother going to Mission Beach though unless you do a skydive or rafting - and Magnetic Island (Townsville) was a really nice place, definately hire a Moke!! You wont want to go home!! Enjoy it & let me know what you do etc. xx

    Great to hear from you Ms London and am green with envy, sounds like you are having the time of your life.
    I can remember when I first started to come on here and saw your signature with the countdown - well done, you enjoy it all.

    All the best and good luck - OOPS

    Hellooooooooooooo everyone!!!

    Just thought I'd say hi!! Back in Sydney at the moment and have found a flat and also started work, so now the fun is over, hehe, just kidding!

    The weather is rubbish and sometimes I forget I am in Australia, but all is good and I am happy (if a little fat after my travels!!).

    I think I should make a conscious effort to pop in here more often I need about a zillion no spend days as I really have spent heaps, and with having to buy a suit, shoes etc etc for work, its scaring me a little :eek: !!

    Hows life in the UK? I cant believe its November, its weird hearing Christmas songs here and seeing the trees & christmas lights up, I am totally freaked out by it all.

    Jamesy & SS - I promise those bikini shots will be coming soon! ;)

    **pp**, how are you getting on? Dottyanne - hows things?

    Love to everyone else.!!

    Speak soon xxxxx
