No, don't laugh...house going on the market.(!)

[figjam]

Mornin all!!
(I really must get this insomnia sorted out)
Well here I go...dippin me toe in the POI waters for the very first time, and definitely not the last. Man, I'm totally addicted to this site. Is there any treatment for it? Cos I've got it bad..
Like many others, I'm chasin the dream - heading to QLD as soon as possible, and just beginning the rocky road of waiting...erm..don't laugh but the house is going on the market this week. (!) But on the other hand I'm countin me blessings - me and me missus are both nurses and QLD Health are dead keen to have us / sponsor us and all that.. Havin said that, my cunning masterplan is to pack in nursing and do something much more chill-out once established in Oz.
Hmm. Just wondering how to break this to me missus tho, without incurring the death penalty!

Hi Figjam
It sounds like you have started the ball rolling, well done. You can always start off over here as nurses and then change your career paths at a later stage.

Hi Figjam
Welcome to PIO, your quite right about the site, i'm totally hooked on it. Good luck with the house sale at least if you sell it quickly you can always go into rented accommodation, this is what i'm thinking anyway. I'm sure you and your wife won't have no problems with your careers, sounds like you have it all sewn up
Good luck keep us all posted
best wishes Tania X

You are doing the right thing by getting your house on the market, my husband wanted to do this early last year and I said No , now I wish I would have followed his advice But we wont tell him that LOL

Welcome to PIO

I think you are right to put your house on the market...'cos let's face it who knows how long it will take to sell...you don't want to have the magic visa in yer hand only to be stuck with still have to put house on market...

We are doing the same....just doing some decorating first - maximise it's selling potential an all that....and if it sells quick we will rent for a bit.....

Only concern now is that our next door neighbours came round yesterday to tell us theirs is going up for sale this week!!!!

Don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing for us.....ours will be cheaper than theirs 'cos they have a conservatory and they also have their own driveway and ours is shared.....but other than that the layout is identical.........

Hi figjam,
Welcome to this most addictive and informative site. As for treatment, well your the nurse lol. As for putting your house up for sale now, Go for it. We put ours up end of last year just after sending in our visa, application and sold in March this year and are currently in rented.
Good luck with all for the future

Cheers everone for posting your friendly n positive replies! I'm going to Oz if I have to crawl there on me hands n knees, I've decided. We had enough of this place a while back but the time to move wasn't right.
Ha ha, nice one Bigaussie..wondered how long it would be before someone spotted that one! You into cricket mate? If I do get to Brisbane I'll be in me element there. At least until Vaughany's lot head down under again anyway...then it'll be a pom baiting fest no doubt!
Cheers

We were the same Hubby wanted to put it on the market last year and go into rented but we talked him out of it now I wish we had and I aint ever going to live it down I,m sure he reminds me every day when I moan we haven't had anyone to view the house
So my advice get it on the market NOW you can always rent until you get your visa
good Luck
