[TALLUBAHHUMBUGBELL]

Came to Adelaide for extended hols in Oct so new DD could meet grandparents. Supposed to go home this week but now have had to extend visit until end Jan. Am bored, bored, bored!!! Anyone around for a chat?

wheres adelaide?

sandcastles is in Adelaide...

I will bump for you!!

In Oz - South, Livysmum. Thanks Superloopy, I will see if I can find her (in non-stalkerish way of course).

Hello....

I'm here....I have been offline due to a move. Where in Adelaide are you?

Hi Sandcastles - I am in the city, near Belgium Beer Cafe. Where's you?

I'm south of the city, at Morphett Vale. About 45 mins away, I guess.

Is that near the racecourse? What are you doing in Adelaide? I'm presuming you're not from here ?

Nope, that is Morphettville.

Morphett Vale is near Noarlunga.

I live here, been here since June 06.

How you finding it? I lived here in Adelaide for 3 years but got very homesick & was glad to get back to Scotland. DH is from here & desperate to move us all back for good. Is a bit of a dilemma.

I love it, but dh isn't so keen. We have just moved into a new rental, but after the year is up, he is keen to return to the UK. He is trying not to focus on the homesickness, but I know he finds it hard.

Maybe once another year has passed he will have settled more. Takes a long while to feel at home.

I am enjoying being back for a holiday - is nice to have some sunshine & catch up with old friends but I miss my folks & hate the fact that DD is growing & changing so fast & they are missing out on it all.

You'd think, but this has come on for him in the last 6 months & he lived here from when he was 3 to 21 & all his fmaily are here, where as I have no family [only ILs] here.

So it really makes not much sense, even to him....BUT we [me, his mum & dad] think that he is missing his aunt [she has no children & treats him as her own, always has]. We'll see.

I know that dh felt that his parents were missing out on dd growing up, so I understand what you mean. But these last 6 months with dh have taught me that YOU have to do what makes YOU happy!

But these last 6 months with dh being so unhappy have taught me that YOU have to do what makes YOU happy!

I didn't want to return to the UK, but have made peace with the fact that I may have to now.

Gah - it sucks!

Just popping in to say hello Tallulah - you really dont want to be here - freezing fog and about 2 inches of frost on the ground brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Makes me feel a bit better Geordie, but is pouring here today - will probably clear up by lunchtime though. Have great Xmas & hopefully see all the North of the Border girls in the new year.
