Juliette- No allo allo is not on UKTV at the moment. I used to watch this as a kid also. In fact I have seen most of what they show on UKTV but I can sit through Coronation St again.

I also love Abfab was addicted to this when I was at Uni 10yrs ago. God how time flys seems yesterday I was drunk constantly and supposedly studying (best time of my life - hope Erykah decides to go one day).

As for monthly pay it is the norm in the UK and we find it hard to get used to fortnightly pay for DH. All the bills are monthly so it is harder IMO to budget on fortnightly pay. I get paid monthly from work on the 15th but this goes into our savings so I don't really look forward to payday as I don't get to see it.

I think we plan to go back to the UK for a holiday and so my grans can meet Erykah next year. DH is from Sri Lanka originally and has family there aswell as the UK. We have decided to go to Sri Lanka once Erykah is old enough to appreciate it however his Gran is in her 90's and so I don't want to leave it too long. Also I get the chance to hit the beach. I love it there. Oh hears me dreaming again.

We have not had a holiday since arriving in Oz and I am used to 2 a year when we lived in the UK. Though we get enough decent weather on weekends to make up for the lack of holidays. We had to go away from the UK just to get decent weather for our hols.

Listen to me waffling on. Best go get on I have a few things I want to do before Missy wakes up.
