Welcome Nai!
Sorry It's so quiet in here. Most ladies are pregnant, TTC or have new babies, so they are more active in other forums. haha, i think I'm the only one that isnt any of the three, so i'll help keep this thread active!
I'm Katie and my son is Ben. I'm from Vic, but am currently living in Germany (my husband is German). We hope to move back to Oz in Dec, Jan or Feb. I really really (i cant stress that enough!) wish we were moving back now - i've had serious bouts of homesickness lately and am in a "black hole" ATM (but i wont go into that )
I've had a quick look at your webpage, it's really great!

Hello to you all! I hope you are doing great!
Snowy, i hope you are enjoying Oz! Must be nice to be away from the cold! The weather here is warming up slightly - I'm sure it's the same where your parents are. But it's making me so sad. The smell of spring is making me miss home. So strange.

Not much news from my end. We are finally planning the move back to Oz. Need to start searching for companies for Dh to contact about work, organise Visa for Dh, citizenship (for Ben), scrape the money together and work up the courage to tell the in-laws. NOT looking forward to that at all. I know it will break their heart, but i just can't stay here anymore. I need my life back. I'm a pretty quiet person, and very shy - and i feel like it's having an impact on Ben. I want him to be happy and have a great childhood. Happy parents = happy children. And i'm just not happy ATM. Dh understands and is more than willing to go to Oz, he just needs to finish up Uni.

Snowy - Do you know the cheapest way we could start sending stuff home? We dont want to take any large things home, but we do want to start shipping things like Ben's favourite books etc... I know you can send up to 20kg for ?80 with DHL, it's the cheapest i've found.
Also, did you find out the gender???????????
OH! and i read about your floors! Did you get any answers?

Should go and so something productive.
take care,
Katie.
