  1. stressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!! cant believe they will just leave people with no buggy.... now thats another thing I will be worrying about :-(((
  2. thanks for that... lots and lots of info... telling me what I pretty much guessed... will just have to get my lazy bum round the idea of doing some renovations to a older house in a nicer area....
  3. Just going to hijack this thread as someone may also be able to help me.. I will be travelling with a 3 year old and 1 year old and taking my phil n teds... but I just want to know if anyone has ever been left without the buggy after you get off the plane? Like surely they wouldnt leave me carrying a 1 year old and a 3 year old and bags on my own??? AARRGGGHH
  4. We emigrating to Brisbane North in 7 weeks EEEEK! And have had our hearts set on a two storey new build. There seems to alot going up around Warner but I cant seem to find anyone that lives there that can shed any light on it. We would love to live around Albany Creek, McDowall, Bridgeman Downs but land prices seem to be way higher so we get alot more for our money in the likes of Warner. Im guessing once I get over there I will prob know myself where I would prefare but just want to see if anyone on here can help. Cheers :-)
  5. <p><p>Hiya... We leave on the 8th of Aug... our shippers came a few weeks ago and we are back living with the mother :-) We also have a PR visa and like you hope we like it and dont have to come home! My brother lives in Brisbane so we are gonna stay with him for a week till we sort rental. Tis all very exciting but also VERY nerve wrecking and I have some days I cant wait to get there and other days I think what the hell am I doing.. haha.. but I look at it like its an adventure and after a couple of years if we still dont feel settled we just come home. I cant seem to send you my private email on this... if you find a way let me know... its great to keep in touch with other Irish in the same boat. I also have a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old and a 1 year old.</p></p>

  6. do you have anything left for sale? i sent you a pm with my email address if you want to mail me
  7. We will need.. Fridge Freezer TVs Microwave Washing machine Cars (4x4 and hatchback) 5 point booster seat Outdoor furniture And more other bits Ive prob forgotten! So anyone out there returning home or just downsizing let me know :-)
  8. just seen your reply now for some reason :-O thanks for that! I am checking gumtree now too. We fly in on the 9th of August so not too long now. Seen some houses up for rent that arent available till July so will keep a look out there, something might come up. We are living with my mother at the mo and altho its fine I would just really like my own place soon as we get to Oz... stay with my brother for a couple of days and then move into to our our space. If we didnt have three smallies it would be easier. Have a rental pack that Ive mailed to a few agencies too so they will keep me in mind and Ive to contact them nearer the time. Fingers crossed. Its hard to know tho what to do as where we rent will influence where my little girl goes to school... but then what happens if we dont actually buy where we are renting... soooooo much to think about!!
  9. ok... thats cleared it up.. i thought i was going mad... mad tho you can cover your stuff for both :-(
  10. Will need a 5 point harness booster seat for my 3 year old and a car seat for my 1 year old when we arrive in Aug. My brother lives in Brisbane North so can collect within reason. Fingers crossed as they seem VERY expensive to buy over there
  11. right so have to sort out insurance.. shippers coming next week... so am i a complete idiot in saying you can either insure all your stuff for either a total loss ie if ship sinks or whatever or individual damage to goods?
  12. im confused i thought tvs from here were no use in oz
  13. singapore air here too... €3000 for 2 adults, 2 children and an infant... with 40kg per person...fly out on the 8th of aug... absolutely gacking myself now :-O
  14. Just thought Id put it out there. We are emigrating in Aug 2012 and are looking to get a rental for 6 months ideally but a year if required. Ideally a 3 / 4 bed home with a decent garden suitable for a family with young children. We could pay a few months upfront to secure the right property and my brother who lives in McDowall can view the property on my behalf. If anyone knows of anything let me know. I am in touch with agencies too but I just said Id post here in case someone wants to break there lease or knows of a property. Thanks!!
