    Oh, Woodend is fantastic! I often wish we had moved there, but we came to Sunbury instead. Now I'm here, I'd still love to move there, or Macedon, or Kyneton, or Lancefield (or anywhere like that), but I've got a group of friends finally, so I'm reluctant to go anywhere now!

    Nai, I didn't know you lived in Sunbury? Do you still live there? I asked for anybody who lived in Sunbury or surrounds in the 'local' thread, but got no replies...

    I think as for DSD getting into trouble, it would be more if she fell in with a bad crowd. But from what I've noticed, all the young people around (Sunbury and when we go to places like Gisb, Woodend, etc) are actually really nice, not obnoxious typical teens. Its funny, they'll swear and cuss but as soon as you come close with a pram, they'll tell eachother to shut-it cos there's a lady with a baby comin'! lol. And if Woodend's anything like here (Sunbury), the locals look after themselves and keep most things under control.

    Sorry Netix, we moved closer to the city about 7 years ago as I couldn't handle the commute but DP's mum and sister still live there so we visit fairly regularly.

    OK, fingers crossed.

    Saw a place on the weekend.

    Have put an offer in. Now in bidding game with another bidder but they are taking ages to make their next bid which hopefully means they are approaching their limit. And we have a fair bit of room to manoeuvre.

    On tenterhooks waiting for phone call from agent!!!

    You'd like it there Bath! And I'm still planning on coming to Melbourne quite a bit - at LEAST once a month, probably more. Train goes straight to DFO, I mean Southern Cross
