We were the same as you, paid $60 for a pool man to come out and go through everything with my husband, testing, maintenance etc, we now know what to do, we take a sample to our local pool shop and then but salt etc from bunnings as cheaper. If the pool needs anything other than general maintenance we get the owners to sort it out. It's worth paying to get a good knowledge as said above a green pool is a nightmare, pump now on 8 hrs a day as summer mode, but we run 4 hrs of it at night as cheap electricity, sooooooooooo worth it as children and husband now in it every day

Ormiston state is the best but has catchment area, wellington point, cleveland and thornlands good. If you want to pay then Sheldon is the best, Vicky point isn't known for its schools, mount cotton?

Welcome, an exciting time for you. I have a boy 9 and girl 6 and am in wellington point, can def meet up if you want to, so know how you feel, so can hopefully give you some tips. sam

I'm a midwife, private sector is the way to go, contact the mater and greenslopes hospitals, I'm at greenslopes, they are recruiting still as its a brand new unit only opened feb. I love it there.

I would look for work for you, I'm bayside which is lovely as it is easy access for gold and Sunshine Coast, I'm a midwife, work is pretty easy to get for us, but your skills may not be recognised here which is a pain. My husband was a brickie in the UK, doing renovations, skills not rec here so has changed direction.

I think I did list skills etc, venepuncture but not obvious ones like record keeping. A normal CV I think I submitted, I do have a copy of my CV if you wish me to e-mail it to you. I'm a nurse and midwife and have been through the process and came out the other side, flying out 2nd April!! PM your e-mail address if you would like to keep in touch and help you any way I can, by the way, we're off to Brisbane. Sam
