Hello there, it dawned on me it is my 1 year anniversary of being back in the UK! So, I just wanted to check in to say Hi, and also to check out, as I don't really have time for the forum much these days. Good luck to all who are still on their journeys. I have no regrets at all and am daily thankful to be here! :wubclub:

Big hugs, such a shock....

I came home last July after 3 years in Sydney and have been very happy with my decision. Found work after 3 weeks and have settled in back to the NW of England.

Good luck, UK or France are both amazing places!

Bump!

Knew you would settle in fine, grand being back isn't it? :cute: 9 months for me and I still have the honeymoon vibe! Spring is just around the corner and it is going to be wonderful!

As soon as I stepped off the plane

Depends on the skill assessing body? For AIM it was 8 years.

So happy for you! X

We opted for a middle of the road quote coming back, once packed up they then informed us they had underestimated (how? they came and measured before and we also removed some big items!) and required another $800 to make the goods leave Australia...we had no choice but to pay, then said goods waited another 6 weeks to leave resulting in us making do for 3 months sitting on cushions....oh the joys.

Got the call again...he passed in the night so we are off to Italy to arrange everything. Hope your OH is bearing up xxx

I'm so sorry Quoll. We got the call last week and are still waiting for the agonising end, it is very sad. We kind of knew this might happen, which also prompted our move back last year. It is never easy is it? Hugs to you and yours

Eeeee exciting! Ok, so, selfishly I have said north as I would be more likely to attend and not have to drop out last minute. For one in the south, I would have to let it go ahead and decide if I could go nearer the time. But I will deffo make the effort and really hope we can make it happen this time!

Had one of my best holidays there in 2008, amazed by the beaches!

Yeah, talk to a MARA agent, not Immi. You will find a way! Because you want to x

Just that I hope you guys have an amazing time! If I were still in Sydney I would have come across for certain.

Snowed all morning up where I am! Big white fluffy flakes! Almost gone now, roads are fairly clear, in fact I got home in record time, go figure!

Aw, that's sweet! Me back in Aus?.....no ta! Xxx

EXCUSE ME?? Said in irate voice when annoyed at someone
