Hi @Hendrix
I am on the PC late today but wanted to say you are being thought of. "You can choose your friends but not your family" - and how right that is. Like you, our family is not at all supportive - afraid they might catch the dreaded disease from me ! We are going to the home of a ''new'' friend who we met as she bought my car !
As the others have said, do what YOU want to do. Your daughter is old enough to make up her own mind and do what she wants.
I reckon going to friends at Geelong is the way to go. Down by the water - wonderful.
Whatever you decide I hope it is a happy day for you.
Summer :)
