Sorry about your job situation Sue but it did give you an opportunity to see your Dad which isq great. Most of us work hard and often from an early age. We manage the family, work and home. Good to have a break.

Sue, I'm glad you've taken time out to smell the roses.  Something is bound to come along that suits you if you want to go back to work when your visit to the UK comes to an end.  It's a lovely thing you are doing for your dear Dad.  Enjoy the English summer.

Sue enjoy your enforced holiday. You have grasped the opportunity to have a visit with your Dad and brother which you will all remember with much love. You are no longer in a job that was stressful. Well done.

Do you mean Mandjoogoordap Drive, CP? I thought it might be an indigenous name for Mandurah.

Thanks, everyone.
I am enjoying spending time with my dad, I wish I could have spent more time with my mum.
The weather here has been gorgeous, and we are eating well out of dad's garden.....loads of kidney beans, potatoes, lettuce and raspberries.

I can't help but feel a little trepidation for what will happen with the job situation when I get back, but I really need to go through my house like a dose of salts, so any free time will be spent productively!

Sue after you have done your house if you are feeling bored at all I have a house you can have a go at too.  :D

Sue spending time with your Dad is a great thing to do. Family first, and then other things tend to fall into place, although sometimes it does take a little while.

And when you are finished at cookies, fancy doing another house in Sydney?  ;D

We are loving this motorhome thing. So easy, comfy, convenient and fun. This was our first trip and we have more short weekend breaks planned in the near future
