We're looking to book flights from Sydney to London this Dec. The cheapest flights I can find are around $2200, there are slightly cheaper ones, but with horrendous stopover times. I'm wondering if we wait a bit longer will the flights go up more or will there be sales on later in the year? Any feedback or advice from any regular Xmas flyers would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, my wife and I have recently moved to Manly with our 7yr old son. We're pretty settled now and have some good friends here but they don't have children , we're struggling to meet any young families that live in Manly. My wife is 28 and I'm 31. If there are any couples in a similar position to us and want to meet up for a play date, drinks ect.. Would be good. We're very normal people, honest

We're currently staying in an apartment right next to the beach at North curly. We book up until 25th July but have now found a rental and are moving next wed 10th July. So the aapartment will be available from the 10th to the 25th July. It's the cheapest accommodation we could find. It's about $600pw. It sleeps 4, double bed and double sofa bed. Go to the website to check it out (apt 5) http://www.beachhousesydney.com Email nicky@beachhousesydney.com for details. It might be available for a few wks after that date as well. It's a great location if you're looking to set up on the Northern beaches.

Highest rainfall in 10yrs. So i guess it's not that normal to have this much rain.

We emigrated to Sydney two wks ago and it's rained a lot! Lets hope the sun comes out soon.

Good to hear. It's about 15oc here today, and it's British summertime!!

So the big day is finally here. Trying our hardest to stay within our weight allowance. Even though we have double allowance it's still proving to be very tricky. So looking forward to being back in Sydney. Hoping to have a Bbq on Saturday. Is it still warm enough for a barbe? It's got to be warmer than Kent!

So moving day is finally here. Doree boner are coming on:wacko: Friday to collect all our belongings. I'm starting to panic a bit as our house does not look ready at all. Will doree boner just come in and do all the packing for us? We've moved house a few times and would normally have alot of things in boxes by now. We are going to have everything to be shipped together in one place by fri. I'm just not sure if we need to start packing anything? Please tell me about your experiences of moving day? Is it a stressful day? Aaaaaghhh starting to freak out!!

We had to change our surnames with Singapore Air about two months ago. They charged us $100 per person. I tried my hardest to find a way around it, but in the end we just had to pay it.

My wife, son and i are moving to dee why nsw in 6 wks. I'm starting to feel very nervous. The enormity of the move is just starting to hit me. Am I doing the right thing dragging my wife an son across to the other side of the world? . My wife & boy have never been before. We are leaving secure jobs, nice home. Lets hope it all goes well. Otherwise my head will be on the chopping board!

G'day. Can anybody recommend a company for removals insurance? I've tried insure your move, there quote seemed a bit high. Thanks for any help Adam.

Well it was relatively straight forward for us. But yes everyone's case is different. Surely it's worth saving 2-3k. Just takes a bit of effort. There is plenty of help and support on this forum. Best of luck.

Do it yourself. It's not hard. You just have to be organised. You'll save some well needed cash.

We got our pr visa about a wk after our medicals came through. :smile:

We wouldn't be changing schools. We will be staying in the same area. We've gone and booked 7wks temp acc now. What a nightmare, it now means neither myself or my partner can start work for the first 7wks or so. Will the school not except our temp address if they know we are looking for permanent acc in the area?
