I loved reading this Wendy...even though it got me very tearful!
I'm so glad that you and your family are happy, and have settled into the Australian way of life.

I hope it will happen for me and mine, and it's not long before we find out!!

Oh my God Wendy - you have made me bawl. Partly because of your Mum's story but I, like you, fell in love with Australia and loved every minute of my life there. You know that I have moved on for now but my heart is well and truly still in Adelaide and you have just made me even more homesick

Well done on staying off the fags too, I remember the BE thread when you stopped and I believed you used the book that made me stop too 21/2 years ago.

Thanks again hun.

Lou
