Candygirl Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hello Everyone, Not been on for a while. Hope Everyone is doing well - whether here or there. We are still having fun and loving our new lives. I love my job and have landed on my feet and have just passed my probation. OH hates his, but knows it is not forever. We have started looking at houses to buy and have been to see a financial adviser about Super and mortgages etc and everything seems good there. We are off to the Basketball tonight at the Arena to support the WildCats and cannot wait. We have never been before. The Wrinklies are over with us for three months. Been a bit of a struggle for them in this heat, but they are taking it easy and pacing themselves and as it is going to be much cooler this weekend it will be better for them. They are loving Perth just as much as us and think we have a good life here. They just love looking out of the window each morning to say hello to 3 Ibis that walk down the street and cannot believe that we have parrots in the back garden too. We cannot believe it, but we are booked to go back to the UK in July for BIL's wedding. Shocked at the cost of flights from here to there, but hey ho got to be done and we have planned a trip around the North (we have not done much up there). Feels a bit like being a tourist in the UK, but really it is not our country anymore. We are also loving our new car, have bought a BBQ now so feel more like Aussies or should I say Possies. We now have credit cards to get ourselves into the credit system. We plan what we are doing each Weds evening. Last weekend we went down south to Bunbury and Busselton and hope to plan a trip to M River in the autumn. It has been roasting hot here and everyone we get chatting to tells how hot it has been, but to be honest, we have coped and have been sensible on the very hot days. We have still not bought our caravan, but it's on the list. The Hooligans are back to normal and can often be found causing havoc down at Attadale dog beach, which they love. Apart from that life is all good. Take care Lorraine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Lorraine, hurray, your back. I've missed you. I'm so glad you've settled in well. Look on skyscanner for your flights. You can pay in dollars or pounds and can see the cost of flights for the whole month. How exciting, your looking to buy your own home. I'm so happy for you. Will come and test out your BBQ with you when jonny and I arrive lol Debs x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
