That's how I look at it. It would be a cool adventure for the kids. Also lovely to have a family adventure to talk about in years to come. If we did manage to stay then brilliant. If not then home (id rent the house out) save and maybe do America or somewhere else in a few years. Just need to get there first. Thanks for your help

What about the 187 regional? Is that not pr? To be honest 2 years out there with the kids would be an adventure for them. I'd just have to try my hardest (as I'm younger) to find a way. I'm a photographer here and was hoping to start a business there but not looked into it at all as yet. Just teying to find a way to get there first. It's a fab place isnt it x

Looking for a sponsor for a floor finisher (have one but wrong postcode ) passed the English test already. Turning 45 in Jan so time is against us. We are a family of 4. Fits carpets, karndean, amtico, saftey flooring etc. Any help or leads would be amazing. Thanks so much

They've given him a resit as they couodnt find his results. First time was fab and back dead quick, second time they lost them..hopefully third time lucky and he gets the results he needs. Hes had to take another day off work to do them but at least it's sorted now. Glad yours came back fast x

He did one in november and results were back in 5 days (like we got told) but no one can give us an answer they just keep saying 48 hours. Hopefully we know soon as partner wasnt well when he took it so dont think we have the marks we need but cant book another test til we have results. Shame its just once a month where we live. Good luck on your test. He bought the revision stuff with 2 practise tests he said helped him. Hope you get what you need x

Sorry everyone its a bit of a rant but has anyone had problems with the PTE?. My husband did it in november and had his resuts (not the ones we needed) in 5 days. He re did them on the 8th december. Still no results. He calls every 2 days as he keeps getting told he'll have them in 48 hours. Cant book another test as no results for this one. The man on the phone said they dont have a complaints department. The case file number is the same as the one we got on december the 18th and now hes just been told theres no time limit at all so could be when ever. Fed up as really need to see how he did. Only 4 people took it the same day (in newcastle) Aggghhhh why is getting to australia so hard. Anyway best open the wine and calm down lol. Never ever had customer service as bad as this. Makes me so mad. So happy for this forum as when i mention anything to family and friends they just ask when are we going. Then they moan about it. Think people think its so easy..you get a visa, pack your house and go live happily ever after..its so hard sorting the visa. I know it'll be worth it if we ever make it

Sarah your a star Paul fits both hard floor and carpet. We had our own flooring business before but got rid of it when we came back from australia as the lease was up and I found out I was expecting number 2 so never renewed it. We went to have a look at work and house's before and I've been over about 5 times now. We both love it and no it's where we want to be but it's a bloody nightmare with my mammy brain trying to get my head round it all so I need someone that's delt with floor finisher's before. Thanks so much for the link. Good luck xxxx

Hi my other half is also a floor finisher and some agents seem a bit stumped by it. Have you got a phone number or e mail address for must migrate, just googled them but got loads of results. Thanks so much Good luck with the house Tricia xx
