Hi all. It's about time I wrote another post... We haven't been doing too much exciting stuff to report on, but there is still news to impart.
We're planning on returning to Australia at the start of March! Between our tenants at Morton Rd (who wanted another 12 months lease or would be moving due to an expectant baby) and the landlords of our place here (who want to put this house on the market in January), we're stuck with the need to move - again! I hate moving!
So we figured it would be easier just to move once - back home - at the same time that both leases are up.
Consequently we've been selling lots of stuff on Trademe, generally getting good prices (the sofa bed went for 50% more than we paid for it!), and the house is starting to empty out again. We're starting to get some shipping quotes, it should cost a bit less than what it cost to get here (though the cats may cost even more to get into Australia than out). We might even have some money left over by the time we get home! Not sure whether we will bring the car back - duties and GST and shipping look like they will add up to a fair bit!
It's nearly holiday time! We're going up to Paihia, which is near the Bay of Islands, for a week or so. Should be very nice. Might even have time to write a resume and find a new job...

Still planning on coming back to take a look around the south island, so we may just have to consider doing a group trip??? Cheers, Jo.
Im all for that, even james mentioned some time ago we must do NZ. Happy New year to you both and Happy Birthday Jo. You are now well and truly into the 30 something group. :-)
