We moved from Rotherham in 2008 and used John Mason. They were fantastic from start to finish. No problems whatsoever. T x

We are in Pakenham and spent last night trying to keep the water away from our house. Sweeping and digging trenches to direct the water in the pouring rain, thunder and lightning is no fun. This morning has revealed a complete mess in many areas. Creeks have burst their banks and flooded the main roads in and out of the town. Many homes are flooded. We had 130mls as at 9am this morning according to my mate's measure in the garden and it was still pouring down for hours after. Still nowhere near as bad as Qld, but we had a taster of it. T

Our daughter had no strong views either way when we migrated. She knew that she was the child, and we were the adults, and what we said, went. She was 10 and we were always aware that she might hate it here in Aus. We decided we would see her through school and assess the position then. Almost three years down the line she absolutely loves it here. She considers herself Australian. She recently told me that her greatest fear was that I would want to return to England. She loves school and everything about her life. Children are amazing!! They adapt so well. They are so flexible and far more open minded than we give them credit for. When it comes to the crunch, they have to do what we say. We also dangled the "dog" carrot and we welcomed Franklin into our lives about three months ago. He has been the icing on the cake for our daughter and basically she is living the life she deserves. I hope your daughter has a life as full as ours does. T.

It is possible, because we did it - but its not usual. We migrated in 2008 and we were able to secure a rental from the UK but only because of circumstances. Long story cut short - we came out to validate and stayed with some friends for a few nights. After we flew back to UK our friends had an offer accepted on a house of their own and gave notice on their rental, we contacted the agent and they agreed to let us take the lease over when our friends vacated. Like others have said - you have to have viewed the house first. Our situation was unique though and I'd agree with Magnentic that it might be wise to extend your holiday let to give yourselves more time. You really can do without piling on any more stress than you need to. Things are hectic enough in the first few weeks as it is. Good luck. T.

We brought our HP printer out here too. Scoured the shops for replacement toners and ended up having to get then shipped down from Sydney and even then they were only compatibles. So everytime family have visited, they've brought a few cartridges with them for us. But as others have said, printers are reasonably priced here so we'll probably just end up buying a new one. T

<p>Hi there,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just wondering if you could give me any tips on starting a cleaning business?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Things such as do I need an ABN, customers products or my own, how much to charge and what is expected for that price, also best way to advertise?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So many questions..........</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I live in Perth and can't seem to get any interviews for jobs, so I need to take action and earn some crust.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope you don't mind me asking you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TA.</p>

<p>Thanks Mrs KP. It's actually Neil's birthday today. I wish it were mine today though, a far better day to celebrate than April Fool's Day. Just off out for a spot of dinner cos Hayleigh is away on camp in Canberra for a week. What the heck did we do with ourselves before kids came along eh?? I think Mr Sharman is hoping to find out the answer to that one later lol ........... xx</p>
