I wasn't too sure whether it was a bit risque or not. I hoped it wasn't and thought it could just pass for James or one of his dreaded sheep stealers that was lurking at the back of the sheep. That's my story, anyway. I'm too innocent for my own good.

I really liked that sheep as well.

Edited to say I've found a more well-behaved smiley and amended the above post.

Digging my own grave here, aren't I? Deeper and deeper.

We're here|!!!!

Journey was fine if not a litte long. Were met by some folks we contacted throught the Salvation Army and are staying with them till Mon. They are really friendly and helpful (as we expected). Had a kip when we got here and then went car shopping. Found a couple we're interested in but going elsewhere on monday. Soooo cheap and milage realy low compared to UK.

We being initiated into Rugby tonight.

Thanks for kind words and have written lots so which I will edit for the forum and type up asap. Going to Church and car fair tomorrow and bank to activate account and a car dealer friends of our hosts on Moinday before gong to find our next hosts.

Catch ya later!!

Hurray!!

Glad all's gone well for you so far. Good luck with the car buying. You've picked a good time as the bottom has dropped out of the car market.

That is GREAT news! [smiley=041.gif]

Hope you keep awake for the rugby ... not that it is particularly boring, I mean just with jet-lag. [smiley=icon_biggrin.gif]

Good luck with looking for a car.

We've bought a car! Subara Forrester 4x4. Cost $9880 on the road with 1 yr warranty. 1997 121,000km. Seems very good buy to us. Bought from a friend of peeps we staying with who imports cars for garages so got the price he sells to them and not what garages charge to us, if you see what I mean.

Also activated Westpac account which we set up before leaving. Applied for credit card, we were invited by our manager as used migrant banking section. Otherwise would be declined as have no jobs. Thought this would be a good way of buildling our credit rating.

All good so far and will write more of our impressions when I have more time!

Byee.. [smiley=006.gif]

Hi Helen,
Great to hear you are there safely and have already bought your car!! It must be too chaotic for you to comment on thoughts of the place yet so will look forward to hearing about your adventure so far!!!
Bye for now, Debra
