Moving house Lease runs out on the 20th Jan. When I moved here a year ago
from interstate I chose the Gold Coast, my son chose Brisbane. Now all 3
sons want to be close together again so I am making the move to Brisbane. As
one son has a job in Brisbane and the one who came back from holidays with
me needs a job we figured it made more sense. Jobs are scarce but second son
looks like getting work where first son works... I can harass RodS more
often now as well We will be 30 minutes closer, lol.
