Bump up

Hi, we are selling our 2001 Holden Commodore VX sedan. Blue 247000km rego until 12/09/13. automatic air con car runs great and no problems with it. we have had a new radiator and radiator tap fitted (receipts can be seen) We are asking $3800 as we would like a quick sale as we have seen a 4x4 that we need to carry our sons motocross bikes.

Hi I am not sure if they still do but when we came in November 2010 we used East Coast car rentals. They accepted our debit card. x

Hi we from Oldham, hubby staying with our mates in Parkwood and they are from Buxton. Me and boys coming over in January and we have just secured a house on Genesis Estate at Coomera. Cant wait Jill x

Thanks everyone. the school we wish to send him made a mistake in saying year 7. He will start year 6 in January 2013. Queensland education emailed me back to say he can go in year 7 but would depend on his academic ability etc... His dob puts him year 6 thank goodness. x

Thanks guys, I think I will ring them like you said. I have also emailed Qld education for confirmation. xxx

Hello I hope someone can help. My son is turning 11 on Saturday, his date of birth is 01/12/01. He is currently in year 6 in the UK. I have enquired to a school on the Gold Coast about enrolment and they have replied saying he will have to start year 7 in January 2013???? This would mean he will never complete year 6. I am really confused because when we lived on the Sunshine Coast, he was enrolled in year 4 in January 2011. I really wanted him to go to this school and don't know how to proceed. Please can anyone advice what year he should be in. Thanks Jill xxx

Hi, I am a little (well lot) confused with what year my son will be in when we return in January 2013. He is 11 on Saturday and his date of birth is 01/12/01. He is currently in year 6 in UK. I have had a reply from a school on the Gold Coast to say he has to start Year 7 in January 2013??? This means he will have never completed year 6. When we lived on Sunshine Coast, he was in year 4 in January 2011. Please can someone advise as I am very worried that he will miss out and his education will suffer. Thanks Jill xxx

Thanks xTINKSx We are arriving in January and cant wait. x

Thanks Carla We also like Coomera Waters too but wanted to be a little nearer Coomera Rivers school. x

Hi I was just wondering if anyone had any info on what it's like living in Genesis Estate at Coomera? We have had a drive around last year and really liked the look of it, all new houses and nice rec centre. Any info welcomed. Thanks Jill x

Thanks. I have received an email from the hotel and they have confirmed escalators and stairs, phew x

Thanks everyone for the info. x And dustyroad, no way, sounds like my worst nightmare. I would move haha. Jill x

Thanks Hippychick, I can do escalators haha. x

Thanks. I have just emailed them to ask. I am petrified of lifts, its the confined space and the feeling when they move. It's daft I know. x

Hi I know this is a silly question but I hope someone can help. I am terrified of lifts and was wondering if you book a room at the Changi transit hotel, do they have any ground floor rooms or if not can you use the stairs instead of the lift? I dont want to book and then arrive and end up sitting in reception :embarrassed: Thanks Jill

Thanks

Hi I was wondering if anyone as flown with EVA air? Jill x

Hi My husband house shared on Crestwood. It looks a really nice estate. At the top there is Crestwood Plaza which as a Super IGA supermarket, coffee shop, hairdressers, Noodles box and a few other shops. The schools are a bit far away so you would need to drive. Its not to far from Ashmore where there are banks, chemist etc... Jill x

Hi My hubby house shared and it cost him $130 per week. Alot cheaper than cabins etc...

We got friendly with a few Aussie's at a caravan park we stayed at. My OH greeted them with "O reet?" and says bye "see u in a bit". The Aussies thought this was so amusing and used to say it all the time from then on even to each other. I didnt like going to Woolies and the checkout girl would say "hey, how it going?" I would answer "I fine thanks, how are you?" They would look at me like I was an alien and normally just grunt at me. Are you not supposed to answer there question?

Thanks Domestic Goddess, I will let him know x

Thanks Jill x

Hi Can anyone tell what it is like to live in Biggera Waters? Also any info on Biggera Waters State School? Thanks Jill
