Well I did it. I resigned and upped and moved to the beach, and I have not regretted it for a second! Even though money has run out a couple of times, we have stayed afloat somehow and I think we now have it sorted out.

Ash has gone back to studying, I am working my butt off on business stuff and networking to build the business, and facebook finally has a legitimate purpose and isn’t just for playing scrabble on (heh). It does amaze me though how quickly people become facebook “friends” not just contacts, the fact that so many of us “work at home mum’s” are online at once just naturally leads to us chatting it seems – and once you get involved, it’s hard not to keep up with kids milestones and dramas. Such is the electronic world we live in.

We’ve been trying to get down to the beach regularly, although it is mostly FREEZING cold down here, the beach is always a welcome distraction from work. Amelia is thriving with a big backyard and an open beach to climb on rocks, chase seagulls and kick a soccer ball (yes I even play this with her!). I wish we’d done this years ago!
