I was going to also suggest as Pom queen suggested. Tackle one thing at a time. Start with your health, cut down on drink slowly and do as much as you can for yourself. Then maybe look at volunteer work as this can help with the social aspect even if not paid but looks great on your cv for a paid job later on. Sometimes things are bad and we don't know what to do and can't be bothered anymore, but it takes just one change that can see us through and when your feeling that low it can only improve. Stay positive easier said then done but concentrate slowly on making small changes. Good luck I hope it improves soon!

The amount of people ive read saying about this on facebook not long after the brexit result. As things came out like the nhs lies, one facebook friend seemed to hold on to it like it was the only positive thing. :laugh: It will never happen

it happened in the past that's how a quarter of my family moved over as £10 poms . I would love for it to happen I can hope but not sure it will happen but I never say never.

Sooner the better to trigger article 50 instead of being in limbo.

Took me 4 attempts to hit superior English. hang in there

Thanks Bobbie, more revision required (He has books and CD's he has been using). Just a little surprised he scored so low. He will try again when he can get availability/more revision in.

Got results bummer OH has to re-do it again. Just missed out on 10 points. However his spelling was only 23 which I am very surprised at as he did A-Level English. Oh well, some more revision then try again.

Hi all,

I am a little inpatient so just wondered for others. When we log into the PTE website it says taken- scores reportable, but when we click view score a pop up message says we have to wait for the email to come. Anyone know how long this takes? (On day 6 so very nervous/but wanting to see OH results).

Hello Supercow,

 

Thankyou ever so much for sharing your experiences with both IELTS and PTE Academic.

 

After reading your post I decided PTE Academic was the way to go and booked a test for 23/09/2016.

 

I received my results yesterday and I am so happy!:notworthy:

 

 

So once again thankyou for a brilliant and informative post:ssign19:

congratulations! Very pleased for you. OH did his on the 20th but still waiting for his results still nervously waiting.

For points, the score has to be in each of the 4 components.

Thank you for the reply, I thought that was the case. Fingers crossed

Hey sorry if this question has been asked before I think I know the answer but want to confirm. My husband did his PTE Academic today. To get 20 points for immigration does he need to score over 79 in each four areas or has the overall result got to be over 79.

Thank you!

I would doubt that it would count. Only way to know for sure is to contact a migration agency or ask immigration?

Do you live near water? We have found two properties we have lived in near a stream to be terrible for mould. Our current place is crazy with mould...landlord doesn't care either.

What we do apart from keeping windows open and making sure no clothes are damp or put on radiators are: we have brought a de-humidifier which helps a little. We also have mould spray in Britain which is a bleach based product which we spray and leave for 5 minutes and it wipes the mould straight off.

Not to long till you can move. If you find any other solutions let me know

Ps sorry for spelling mistakes on my mobile phone answering which loves to auto correct etc

My husband has had surgery please pm me with any questions but I've just read out your message and he says the following

"he has both part removal and full nail removal for in growing toe nails, having the full removal is a longer recovery time which was a few weeks, you can't wear proper shoes but Sandles will be prefect for the first week of recovery. He says wearing normal shoes after surgery a normal shoe feels like someone is stood on your toes. He said the recovery (my husbands was super bad in growing he would be neat to tears with the pain before surgery), asked if it was worth it he said differently his never had an issue since with his nails the surgery and the pain he went through proior to surgery caused him so much discomfort that he would do it again if he was in the same position.

if you have anymore questions I can ask my husband he doesn't mind answering them as his been through the surgery of it partial removal and full remova later on. He has not regretted it.

I'd rather fly long haul then give birth again any day :laugh:.

If your able to travel and enjoy life whilst you do not have commitments why not. Hope you settle soon, I had a friend who came back from Australia from a WHV within a week she had moved to Jersey and then after that job she moved to Norway. She couldn't get rid of the travel bug lol.

Short answer No. We have looked at this in the past as we have a lot of second cousins and uncles/aunts over in Australia but none can sponsor due to not being close enough relative.

The first flight was fine because I slept for almost 8 hours. The second flight was crap, really cramped and warm. Someone became ill on the plane so they had to ask for a doctor.

 

I managed to surprise my mum!! Was so funny. I thought she had figured out that I was coming today but she thought it was maybe tomorrow. She screeched haha

That must have been lovely to surprise your mum especially as she wasn't expecting you today :cute: 8 Hours sleep on one a flight is great! Well done! Shame about the second flight.

That's me home!

Hope the flight wasn't to bad.

Hi,

I dont know what the qualifying period before you can claim benefits but this website is very useful: http://www.entitledto.co.uk

In regards to saving's most councils only allow £6000 in savings to claim any benefits (Though I know of 1 council who allows £16000 but this is rare).

I do not know the answer to the medical question.

Try the following website:

http://www.entitledto.co.uk

Should tell you everything your entitled to claim for etc.

Also sorry to hear what your daughter is going through.

Yeah It was good. I got a bit worked up about missing a few things Just forced myself to focus on the good stuff. Like I got see the pink lake which I hadn't planned to. We got to see some amazing sunsets at the beach. We stayed a place in kalbarri called big river ranch and we mixed with one of the tour groups. I don't think I would have liked being on one.

 

I honestly haven't a clue what to do now. I can't afford to stay in Australia for 3 months unless I work a good chunk of it but I really don't want to spend the rest of my visa somewhere really remote. I'm half tempted to just take the money I've got left and and spend a few days Thailand but I'm going to think about it tomorrow

I can imagine it being annoying missing things you want to see. I guess thats the pain with travelling with others but also like you said you managed to see things you would not have otherwise seen.

If your staying in a city it could maybe be worth seeing if there are any temping agency for a month or two work? Nothing wrong with not wanting to work remote again as you have done that a couple of times already. Totally your decision if you see work in a location you dont mind being in, I guess you could attempt to save up a little more and possibly see a few more things. Otherwise Thailand on your way home sounds fun too. Wow 9 months already where has the time gone?!

Sounds like a trip your remember and you have a reason to come back another day to visit the places missed on the trip :-) Do you have any plans now or just playing each day as it comes?

Sure someone else will be better to advise but we were told it was PTE Academic for immigration so my husband is booked onto that one in September. I am not sure on the answers to the other two questions.

I heard Emirates will be doing non stop london to Perth soon.

It will be a fuel stop, when I flew with Royal Brueni we stopped in Dubai to refuel however it was not mentioned anywhere on my paperwork. We had about an hour tops off the plane on this refuel stop.

Sorry I can't help, my OH is taking it in Holborn in September. We have just brought the PTE Academic testbuilder book from WHSmith (Also available on amazon and waterstones) which seems to be super useful it comes with 3 CD's too to help. My OH is going to use that to practice, may be worth looking into as husband says its a good book so far and has opened up his eyes to the test format etc.

I'm personally surprised with her choices but actually fairly happy with them. She has the right people to help the uk leave the EU with a balance of other people on other issues.
