Aussie roll call

eidsvold · 09/05/2007 01:12

there seems to be so many of us here now and those who are coming soon that I am losing track of them.
so here goes - test my memory and if I have not included you - please include yourself - am sure I have left out plenty - especially new arrivals - so forgiveness begged in advance

Also curious as to how many of us are aussies - born and bred and how many are imports

I have posted on only a handful of occasions but I have been a serious Mumsnet addict since 2002. I discovered it when I was living in Bangkok. It was featured here.

I am now back in my home town located half way between Adelaide and Melbourne.

I'm currently in London but have sold our flat, packed everything up and flying out to Oz on the 24th May!! I am so excited that I might just pop! Have been in UK for 10yrs, DH is a pom.

Hey Sidonie where are you? I also grew up between Adelaide and Melb too, on the coast. Nice place to visit but couldn't live there again.

Hi there. I'm new to Mumsnet (in fact this is my first post - yeh!), and discovered it when on the BLW Blog site. Am a pommie living in Sydney for last 9 years. DD was born here just over 8 months ago. Love this site and all the refreshing and varied opinions on the threads. What a funny (as in 'ha ha') bunch you all are!
