What have you done today to get yourself to OZ?

**Mandy28** · 09-01-2012, 06:10 PM

As we are going to validate our visa's first (in 4 weeks time)
Today I have sorted out Car hire in Perth
I have Ordered my Aussie $ (will collect Saturday)
I have checked with my bank re Travel Insurance and also update our mobile phone insurance with them too.
I have printed off all flight info and car parking at Gawick and placed it my Travel Purse.

I have also been looking at houses AGAIN online.

And just writing this I have realised that I have forgotten to dig out our Visa Approval letter to take with me and the OH's Vetassess Certificate.
Right off to do that now...

Mandy

p.s

Good thread by the way

made a bit more money to go towards my oz fund, the only thing that got me through the day was dreaming about beaches and koalas!!!

I'm on the 'external checks' list for the OZ PR visa... very sorry to say it's a rather exclusive club, they only dish it out to people from Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Somalia as far as I know

What a great thread!

Up at 6am, Drove to south wales on the lovely M5, M49 & M4 to get there dreaming of driving to work in OZ!
Did a bit of work and drank coffee!
Returned home for 6pm and listing Sues old 70's lego on ebay as she does not want to take it to oz.
More coffee and deciding if we should take the 46" tv with us or sell it! only 6 months old so not sure?
Also thinking of staying permanently in Feb and sending Sue back to tie up loose ends and work her notice!
Think I need another coffee!
Decisions decisions decisions!!!!

Too busy today celebrating my good wifes' birthday but she has set up a new FB page for the cake business for when we get to Perth so all I need to do (on top of everything else) is to get an ABN and then register the website domain (no easy task unlike the UK!)
Back to work/decorating tomorrow.............................

Bud there is loads more to sort and chuck but it all takes time

There is still a back yard full of building rubble but I think I'm going to get askip for that. I take it that you are registering a .com.au instead of a .com

Of course I disagree as I am doing the same "Research" and I know how taxing it can be to absorb all this info!

Darn right Web Weazel! Just think of the things that you could have done in PIO time!!! LOL! Maybe tomorrow eh?

On Saturday I sorted through the house and got this little pile of joy together to give to the local dog sanctuary, today I went to visit the sanctuary to organise collection, tomorrow I am hoping to sort through my wardrobe and shoes and bedding so that I can put even more on top of this pile for them to collect.

I never knew I had so much crap. There are skis and ski boots in there, guitars and amps, mincing machines it is just like the Generation game.

Fantastic and tomorrow apic of an empty space.
Don't think you can move it in another room you will be caught out

Fab Thread :-)

This weekend we cleared out all the c**p under the bed and threw stacks away. We cleared more out of the loft and ... threw stacks away. We filled the car boot with loads of other stuff we have managed to palm of to unsuspecting relatives to be distributed this week ;-)

We did loads of research on areas to live when we arrive this morning which was great fun thanks to google maps.

I chased up the hospital for notes etc to take with me, and Hubby should have handed in his notice by now

Not bad work :-)
