Does anybody know if my digital radio would work in Oz. I know it would not pick up the BBc but I wondered if it would pick up Oz stations? Moira

I plan to go over next August in their spring. I am going over for 2mths over xmas this year. So I am in Cheltenham Melbourne if anybody fancies meeting up. Do you every get over there Pam Best wishes Moira

Lovely to read your post and very reassuring. One of the positive things about getting older is realising whats important in life Moira

Hi Pam My heart goes out to you and when I have my doubts about leaving long time friends I will remember how fortunate I am. I have a daughter over here but she has not wanted contact with me for the past 8 yrs and I am finally giving up hoping, although my door will always be open for her, but I guess the other side of that coin is that it is one less tie. What a life! Moira

I think this must be a time of many emotions, goodbyes and hallos to be said, but I have enjoyed accompanying you on your journey Best wishes for the future Moira

Thanks. Very useful Moira

Hi Its gone so quite out there, thought I would check that you havent all gone to a different forum and not told me. Last year my son was diagnosed with bowel cancer and it was found to be genetic so his australian doctor has suggested that I have a gene test. My concern is that if I am found to carry this gene (which is unlikely as the carriers develop cancer at a young age and that I am not) will it affect my visa application? Has anyone had anything similar.? How are the house sales going? Moira

Thanks for all the help with the toothbrush Problem solved Moira
-
Not sure this is a good time to ask about my electric toothbrush plug, but in for a penny in for a pound. When in Melbourne (and i am going out for xmas) I cannot find an adaptor that my electric toothbrush will fit into. Has anyone else come across this? and better still has anyone found a solution? Love the site as much for the support as the info Moira

I stil have a long way to go but I am dreading saying goodbye to family and friends. I appreciate people writing about their move. Now I know what to expect - hopefully it wont be such a shock and even if it is I know I am not alone Thanks Moira

fingers crossed for you Moira

Never thought that 'stacking shelves' would lift my spirits. In the wee hours I panic that I wont be able to work at anything, but stacking shelves I know I could do And great to hear from Sirmatt Moira

Thats brilliant news Moira:laugh:

Steve I now have my acknowledgement date which is the 14 July 11. Could you update me on the tracker please thanks for that Moira
-
That sounds like a very good rate compared to here Thanks Moira

Hi out there I have been following the posts about money with interest. Do some people get their money over to Oz via UKForex and then pay the visa from an Oz account. I am thinking that allows you get it over when the exchange rate is good! ha ha Although I remember that Aus Immi has a set rate for the year so it would go at that rate and my bank charged me 25gpb for putting some money in d-i-l's account. This is all new to me so I am thinking out loud here. If the money is in an Oz account do you just send a cheque for the big amount at the end? My money is in ISAs getting 2.something at the moment. I am going over to Oz for christmas and will open a bank account when over there. Would be glad of any suggestions about different banks thanks for a great site. I miss Sirmat Moira

Thanks Fiz This is a great forum and I do enjoy the vast array of experiences. I am reassured that an airbed and a kettle can be fun Moira

How exciting to hear 'the end of the waiting stories' from people. I am waiting for my acknowledgement letter, they have taken the money for the first payment but I am already worrying about how I am going to tie it all up at the end. Could I leave the estate agent to sell the flat? I was thinking that things would have to be shipped weeks before I leave (incase the shippers dont turn up and I have to rebook) and could I live on an air bed and with just a kettle!!!!! You see how its going. And I think I saw on the tracker that someone got their CO in 8months or have I read that wrong.? Thats panicking me although I dont have to go straight away but I know I will want to. Anyway congratulations to all who are on your way. Leaving is very sad but as someone said being able to see your grandchildren when you want must be wonderful Moira
-
How exciting. Is that the Aos money in your daughters bank? Moira

Thats a date
