<p><p>Thank you so much for the reply, although i was up at 4.30am i feel better today, like you say i think it draws near and becomes a reality. I ee the exchange rate is improving, typical as i have just moved the last of mine over lol. I lead a simple lifestyle and enjoy the free things in life as in walks, beach and just sitting with family. I have my 1st grandchild due in october so hope to be there for that..... exciting! I would love to meet for a chat when i get there, may call on you for advice on medicare, and such .... will keep in touch, thanks Ann</p></p>

<p><p>Hello John & joan noticed your posts on here lately, i lodged last june2011 and my agent thinks i may hear on getting a co hopefully August. I am on a 143 and heading to perth, i have a son over there. I have decided to rent my house due to the current market and exchange rate pretty dire to say the least. Have a family moving in to rent beg of june so it's a mad dash to get straight. It's a very stressful process and i have had lots of sleepless nights were i wake up in the small hours thinking i must be off me rocker, i have beocome friends with Fran on here ' summerdaisy' as she is making the move alone like me so it's good to share worries and know i am not alone, shame she is heading to Brisbane. What part of OZ are you both heading to? will you be fortunate not to have to work, i will i'm afraid but it's a good way of meeting people and i enjoy my job in aged care. Good luck with your process and i hope the time goes as quick as it has for me since i lodged. Ann</p></p>

<p><p>Hi, just like to say i have followed your previous posts with interest and so glad you are settling down to your new and exciting life. I hope you don't mind me asking a personal question regarding buying your own property, if you had to obtain a mortgage was it easy getting it? I am not selling my home here in the uk and intend renting it out so have that as income, i was left roughly 100,000 from my parents which i could use as a deposit but it's not going to be enough to buy outright, being 55 this year i thought the banks wouldn't touch me with a barge pole for the remainder of the price, in perth the cheapest i have seen is $300,000 , i do intend working which by the looks of things is going to be 65yrs as i live alone. As the rents are so high i would sooner pay a little more for a mortgage. I suppose it's one of those things i won't know till i get over there. So glad all has worked out for you. Ann</p></p>

<p><p>Hi my name is Ann and i have worked in age care for over 20 odd years, i hope to move to Perth summer of this year and i have been told they are crying out for carers, you do have to have certificare 3 as they call it but our NVQ 2, or 3 will be accepted. If you do not have these then you have to do a course to gain the qualification which i don't think is all that long. You can also do a course for AIN which is assistant in nursing if you fancy working in a hospital but it costs approx $800 for the 2wk course. I am sure you will have no trouble finding work. Best of luck.</p></p>
