Hi

There are lots of good shops, we are in WA and my daughter loves Jay Jays http://www.jayjays.com.au/shop/en/jayjays

Oooooooo that is a tough question but do not want to go back to the UK.

Loved France, loved my house, cried when I left it :embarrassed: Miss my sunflowers and vines !

You know as you said how it goes there with work, you always need to earn more to pay the charges, ours got to the point where even if we both worked 24-7 we still wouldn't be able to pay, never mind anything to live on afterwards.

Migration is never easy but if you can make it in France and stay strong then you can make it any where !

Australia is big skies and lovely beaches , friendly people and very different to life in France. We have lived in both WA and QLD. We prefer WA as it does feel more laid back than QLD.

​Still was a shock moving into suburbia after rural France but the kids have settled in so well and they enjoy their schools and for my eldest the freedom of getting a bus and being out and about with out having to get Mum to drop him off, he loves it.

As for normal jobs, we are both working here and working long hours but here we do get to keep the money, less tax of course. Which you need as the cost of living is high here.

Feel free to send me a private message if you would like any questions answered.

Hi

Yes, we moved from the Charente Maritime to WA. Been here in WA now for over 2 years after 8 years in France.

I do miss France, miss the French country side and way of life but do not miss the stress of running a business there.

Hi

here in WA if you did not sign a further lease then you should be on a monthly contract, that is what happened with ours. We had to give a months notice.

Hurray Kelly :wubclub: here at last !

I cried the first week here in Coles while buying a mop !

Avon Skin so Soft cream, great for your skin and insects hate it

I am trying to teach my kids not to buy into commercial debt. We are not religious so with Christmas we try to buy just a few goodies so we are not seen as the Grinch !

The kids send extra to their child sponsors, hoping this gives them the feeling that giving is better than receiving.

I have found lots of ways to have a good day with out breaking the bank, make your own crackers, bake your own cakes.

Will be using the same tree as every year, which is like a twig with lights :embarrassed:

Hi Oz to France

The Charente is beautiful, we moved to Oz from the Charente Maritime and do miss it. You will have the micro climate in the Maritime area which keeps it very warm from April to October.
