Vodka, which part of the world are they from because he looks really familiar. I am in the central belt of Scotland.

I dont know which part of Scotland they are from but they live in Cheshire now and moved here a few years ago.

MrsReiver · 16/01/2014 09:42

He must just have one of those faces, or maybe a brother Grin

It's about 46° in Adelaide right now, I wonder how much family time outside the locals are having right now?

he reminds me of Gerry McCann. Sad

Sparklingbrook · 16/01/2014 09:52

MrsReiver · 16/01/2014 09:52

These are the two things that really bug me:
1/ they always say the weather stops them doing outdoor things in
Uk, it's never stopped us.
2/ they always say 'we've had a great week, everyone's really relaxed here, blah, blah' - you're on holiday, of course you are!

VodkaJelly · 16/01/2014 09:57

The update is on the website, they dont go.

After returning from Adelaide, Gary applied for jobs down under, but with little success. He’s since discovered that his potential employment sector in Australia has changed, with employers now increasingly relying on local expertise. As such, Gary no longer feels a move is possible for his family. Karen has started working part time, and as of December 2013 is content to stay in the UK for the time being

Hi all, I had to miss today's episode which is a shame because it looked like a doozy! I had to go to work,...of all the nerve......
I've just caught up on iplayer and he was dead set against against it from day one. Really feel this was a waste of time and money as he was pretty certainly not going. Feel very sad for the mum as she wanted it so badly, but, as I said on the Facebook site, if she wanted to go from being a teen, why didn't she tailor her life choices to making the move before she got married, etc? Anyhow, there's all kinds of fights breaking out on fb about this, with comments being deleted all over the place.! Fun times.

I think he looked like the new Doctor Who (forgotten his name - oops!)

Davros · 16/01/2014 22:53

I'm very slow catching up this week, just watched Monday's. Did they go? They were a lovely couple but very hard to leave their support network which they need more than most. What a decision!

Sparklingbrook · 17/01/2014 09:15

morning all. Grin

MrsReiver · 17/01/2014 09:18

So this dude has been to Australia before and travelling with kids is harder than travelling alone.

From the department of the bleeding obvious.

Samantha the facebook page sounds awesome. Off to investigate!

Morning MrsR. This looks a bit disastrous.

17leftfeet · 17/01/2014 09:21

There is no way this family are going!

MrsReiver · 17/01/2014 09:22

Doesn't it just? I don't think this lot are going anywhere.

Sparklingbrook · 17/01/2014 09:22

I can't understand how people can leave their families. Isn't that what's important? the poor DM can't even talk about it. i couldn't do it.

JillJ72 · 17/01/2014 09:25

Doesn't sound like a goer. Let's see. I do think any person or family doing this kind of thing has to do what's right for them, and not be "held back" by their parents, siblings, extended family.

I would be sad if DS wanted to go elsewhere to love, but I would support him too because it is his life.

Me - I'd like France or Italy. Don't have to break the bank to get back to Blighty, or to have visitors.

ThursdayLast · 17/01/2014 09:25

Morning, I was hoping you were all here!
Hahahaha, these guys definitely just in it for the free holiday!
Surely the fella isn't this stupid???

JillJ72 · 17/01/2014 09:25

That is elsewhere to live, although if love's involved as well, then that's good too!

17leftfeet · 17/01/2014 09:26

Hmmmm let me think if they can afford to go to oz?

Sparklingbrook · 17/01/2014 09:28

I couldn't leave my Mum and Dad. I couldn't deprive them of the DSs and vice versa.

Sparklingbrook · 17/01/2014 09:28

Ooh a bit of Ellie Goulding as background music today....
