Anyway, seems like you have been going through lots of different stuff. Hope it all works out. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Maybe I will get to see you in HK again on future visits. If you end up in Sydney, let me know. Will be there for 3 months this Xmas.

Best Wishes for a safe and trouble free move back to Oz. It sounds like your life is very busy and not likely to calm down anytime soon, so here's to calm moments within the storm to allow for a break.

Truthfully, your dining room is not messy at all, it has organisation ... just several different piles of organisation :) Leaving will be hard on your girls but they will also have a brand new adventure to look forward to as well. I remember leaving our cleaning lady/cook/washing lady/friend/second mother ( you get the picture lol) behind in Indonesia, it was very sad but my parents kept in touch with other people in the project we were on and so could keep a line on how she was going. She was much loved. Maybe you can do the same sort of thing ? I hope the move goes well, and you all settle back in easily it is a big upheaval.

Sydney sounds heavenly though. I can also relate the shift from having a helper around to doing it all yourself. Sometimes I wish I could move back to Africa so I can have some little help (not that am lazy). It's awfully hard to live far from family and friends (and not having date night outs)!

Even on Ravelry, Mr Skacel has done a lot of spin doctoring his reasons for behaving in such an aggressive and predatory way with all of his international competitors. There is of course, only one single reason for this kind of bullying tactics. Greed. Ruined the US market - my arse.
