They made it seem so AMAZING wrussell, our sponsor contact is making himself very scarce and not returning calls

thanks guys, trying every avenue right now. Thanks for the link scotexpat, hubby is looking right now. He mainly works in Tivoli and AIX admin Jules2409. We will move where the work is.

A major IT company bought us out here on a 457 4 year visa with an initial 2 year contract, well someone high up decided the project wasnt right and cancelled it. We have only been here 5 months. He has been desperately looking for other work but nothing coming up so looks like we are heading home. Just furnished our house and brought a car too.

Just no mud on it

I have found customer service from Aussies in shops to be excellent, still surprises me when they say 'How are ya?' 'Enjoy the rest of your day' I have been welcomed to Australia on several occasions when they here my accent and ask how long have we been here.

My niece wasnt allowed onto any airline at 34 weeks.

We dont have them. Just end of lease we were told by the agent, so if we stay long term it will be one a year.

I have been in Melbourne 3 months, I miss friends and family but dont miss the UK one bit. The first 6 weeks were a nightmare for me, was looking at flights and very weepy. I proverbially kicked my own butt and told myself to 'man up' I realise it isnt for everyone but its very right for us. I Skype a lot and call my kids once a week for a quick chat. I think it helps that I have lived all over the world and settle in places very quickly. We joined a social group which has helped us make friends and I can talk the hind leg off of a donkey so always start conversations up with people.

Hey Danielle, was lovely to meet you today! I had a chat with my letting agent and he has given me a number for another agent for you to call, I will personal message it to you. You will get tons of information on here and if you fancy a coffee just gimme a shout Kay

I have gone through every emotion in the last 4 weeks (not good when you have Psoriasis) I have had massive wobbles, excitement, sheer terror and then the whatever attitude. I have have been hugged LOTS and had friends devastated like we are dying. I booked the freight today and my son has cleared his bedroom (loads of tears) Ex husband has finally manned up after a lot of years of being bleurghhhh and given my son (who is staying in UK) loads of advice. We have a week left for goodbyes. Got my kids to download Whatsapp so they can text me for free.

Great pictures and thanks for sharing
