new home



We finally moved in on Oct 11,we had to wait until our new bed could be delivered,we then had to"make" it.This involved screwing together the wooden frame. The rest of our new furniture didnt arrive until 5 or 6 weeks later ,so we had 2 borrowed chairs to sit on and not much of anything else ...we also had to wait a few weeks for our shipping boxes to arrive but when they did it was just like christmas .



We are nicely settled in now and Rob has a large front and back garden to tend so he`s kept busy

Australia



Well,we finally got here after 4 years of waiting. 2years for Robi to be deemed "settled" and another 2 for our visa application to be approved.



We arrived in OZ on Aug 30 2010 ,tired but happy to see the family again . We sent 6 weeks living with Robi and Tracy during which time we bought a car ,a nissan micra and checked out estate agents for rented property .



We already knew we couldn`t afford to buy as we sold our UK house at a loss and house prices here had gone up . Rob decided on Bribie Island as it has nice beach walks (just what he wanted) and we were lucky to find a nice place at a price we can afford.
