brideycollette Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sorry to hear your sadness Pingpong....the distance is telling when things like aged parents are in the equation. My mum died a couple of weeks ago...and cos of costs and young children I made the decision not to return to the UK. I was comfortable with this decision but it still pulled at the heart strings. Good luck xxx GOODMORNING YOU xxxxx oops sorry in caps lol hugs , and star jumps for that morning feeling ( also to make you chuckle xxx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobynMargarat Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi Ladies, and whoever??? no matter how far anyone is away from their families, if someone still in Britain has anyone close with a computer, surely, they and you could encourage them to see each other on Skype? Even 80 year olds can be taught to connect and log in. I know this how? I taught my Dad who is 89 (yesterdays birthday). I am not a Pom, but have a daughter living in London, East Wimbleton I`m told. I also have a grandson, who is 18 months old, he and his mother are returning here next week for a short stay...and no I haven`t ventured to Britain, but we communicate via Skype. I know British telecom has adeal where, they allow free calls to landlines in Australia... if you don`t know about it, its time you learned and showed your families before you immigrate surely!?? One way of seeing the grandies grow up, or families grow. No offence meant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck xxx Hi Susie and thanx:smile:..i'm sorry to hear about your Mum..yes the distance is difficult at these times and it can seem a very long way away..when we make the decision to move this is part and parcel of it..my sadness was not so much for myself, but my parents who have a long history with Aus and i know would love to go back if they could..take care.. terri:wink: x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning RM:smile:..thanx for the good advice..your right there is no excuse for not communicating..Skype is free if you have a computer and it is a great way to keep in touch and seeing each other on webcam..my Mum sussed that a long time ago and my three brothers in Aus don''t get away with not seeing her and Dad at least once a week!!..my sadness for them is that they know they can never return to Aus because of ill health, and my brothers will never return here..Que Sera Sera.. terri:wink: x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
