Hello! [wave]

Hi, is it ok if i come and play with you guys?!!!

I've been lurking around these parts for a while and thought it was time to say hello! I'm a very recent OM but never really bothered getting involved too much with WP apart from reading, plus you guys look much more fun!

Few things to help you decide if i can be part of the gang:

I live in Melbourne, Australia and have done for the past 3 years. Grew up 'cross the Mersey and H is from Brum.... i think i've got around a fair bit!! We're over here for work at the moment but our visa is up August next year and we have decided to return back to normality....and the cold!!

I love like cake, real ales and gin. In fact, since we got back to Oz 4 weeks ago (from getting married back in the UK) I'm scared about how little gin is left from our duty free shopping ?

I have a cat called Archie, but my mummy has very kindly been looking after him for me while we've been away..... Its ok, we skype each other though, and yes, i still mean the cat!!

So there you have it, can i play?!! I promise i can be bitchy and sarky, with a little amount of fluff as and when required too!!!

Also, i kinda know Kharv a wee bit...... she made these for me!!! **please work, please work!!!**

    Hello and welcome Smiley smile I don't blame you for using Skype to see your cat I would have done the same! I've been known to request the sound of my cats purr over the phone.

    Kharv - I have a few more, will send you an email for you to use! I was figuring out how to try and tag Love on Top in them on FB, but doesn't seem like i can tag pages Smiley sad

    Thanks for all your lovely welcomes! The Bombay has gone, Tanqueray is up next!! I've been a little obsessed with Elderflower Collins recently!

    Perox - Tonight, for the first ever time, I have actually put a shrimp on the barbie!! They were feckers to peel afterwards though, need to learn a trick with those! It is still Spring at the moment though, so still quite temperamental. Apparently tomorrow is 32oC, Thursday 25oC and Friday 17oC!!

    Aah lovely!! That is the downside, the peeling afterwards! I lived in Aus for a year and my hubby's an aussie ( we met out there and I made him move over here) So jealous of the weather though, I do miss the hot Christmases! Good idea moving back next August though - at least you should be moving back into summer and out of winter!
