[mad dog groomer]

Hi everyone, my name is Nigel (I.T. Trainer) and my wife is Kimi (Mad dog groomer). We live in Dartford, Kent but hopefully won't be hear this time next year. We plan to go to the Sunshine Coast either on a 457 or on a student visa. Sort of depends on whether we sell the house or not. We are taking our furry family with us, our dog Darwin and our cat Stinky.

Must say what a great site this is, complete opposite to the many negative arguementative forums that had previously put me off joining in. Have been browsing through the posts for the last 3 months and have picked up so much useful info from others experiences, so thanks already.

We are in the process of deciding which route to take with the goal of being able to achieve permanent residency. Have spoken to about 6 migration agencies so far, been to the London Skills Expo, read through most of the immigration dept. site and for the last 3 hours have been reading through the posts here and now my head is spinning with information overload and the realisation that there is so much other stuff to sort out.

In anticipation of a new life in Oz

cheers for now

Nigel and Kimi
