Hi all

I have just joined you today after few weeks of viewing . So I thought II would introduce myself. O/H me & 2 kids just starting. Already I have found out some good info from you all. Not sure where we are going visas is a 136 O/H is a welder so could go anywhere I guess. Got to say I think the choice is Adelaide or Brisbane. Have been intouch with a few recruitment agency who are waiting on our TRA which we are putting together at the moment. I have put a posting on dilemmas with some questions hope maybe you may have some answers for me. I have to say that I do enjoy reading all your posting some are really interesting:)

I'm sure I will have some more boring questions

Jen:) :)

Hi Jen and Lynda
Welcome to the wonderful world of PIO!
Everyone here is luvly just like the others said. Some are daft as a brush, some like a good tease - see the April fool spider! Fooled me, nearly cancelled visa on strength of it :)
some are downright funny an take care of our spiritual side at the same time - see Vicar of Dibley - shes definately got a massive congregation on here anyway.
Enjoy, post away and everyone will help if they can.

Thanks guys for kind welcome. Its nice to know you are all there. Could anyone check my posting about TRA on dilemmas as it would be nice to know if anybody else used a teacher to certify their docs as it says on the tra website they can

Cheers

Jen
