Wow that time went in a blur!
After 2 weeks we managed to secure a long term rental (THANK GOD!!) panicing slightly only having 3 weeks holiday let plus starting work in week 2 !!
Anyway got the keys and moved out just in time :)
Thank goodness for Garage sales :) Have got so many bargains and good quality things too, only things we've bought new are washing machine, tv & small table. Furniture seems very expensive so every penny counts at the moment.
Settled straight into work, but had the usual waiting before being handed a project of my own so a bit bored making things up to do! Should make the most of it though as I'm going to be very busy by the looks of it!
Was sent to Sydney for a day, very tiring as there and back in a day - thank goodness thats not the norm! Didnt see a lot but did sit on the right side of the plane to get a view of the Opera House :)
Since I've just been working & doing Garage sales! Poor kids!!
Thankfully Christmas so can fully relax!
Xmas was strange as it was so warm, Jen was ill so could not do what we planned (i.e. beach) so just sat around reading - which was really nice being able to relax properly!!! Jen soon picked up after seeing her pressies :)
Boxing day was spent at friends, however as weather turned again we couldnt sit poolside :( Ah well.. Company was really nice and i think it picked Pete up a bit.
Tues after we went to Gorge Wildlife Park to finally do some touristy things and hold a Koala!!! YEY :)
Was soo excited. They are so laid back, light and very very soft!! Loved it - certainly a moment to remember and I actually feel like I've arrived in Oz!!
Very good day, followed by a visit to the biggest rocking horse :)
An amazing day was topped off by seeing Dolphins on my dog walk! At sunset, it was beautiful!!! Love this place :)

Sounds like you're settling in nicely. Glad you've got a rental property, that must have been nervewracking thinking you might not get one in time. Sure works gonna be fine, its SSDS isnt it?? Hope you had a good xmas and Happy New Year, hopefully this time in 2012 our family will be there too. x
ReplyDeleteHi yes have settled nicely now thanks :)
ReplyDeleteIt helps now we actually have things in our rental so it doesnt echo!
I was worried about the rental esp as when you view houses its usually an open so youre there with several other families which is wierd! Thankfully we went to a property on our own (didnt have much interest) and the agent said oh I have another just up the road - fancy looking!? Just luck we saw it on our own - plus it's his mums house!!!
We jumped for it, will serve a purpose although not ideal (lots of building work due over next couple of years!!) but at least we have a home :)
No I work for a Consulting company on Fullarton Road, great bunch :)
Good luck with your move, 2012 will be here before you know it! Do you have a visa yet? Do you know where you'll be moving to?
Happy New Year
