How can you not notice several thousand pounds going into your bank account?????? As Kate says if you have not spent it there will be no problem!

We just didn't check the account. We opened new bank accounts when we arrived in Oz. Bank account is now pretty much empty thanks to a direct debit on a credit card. Oops!! Finance is not our strong point :biggrin:

Oops! We dropped a bit of a clanger with this one when moving to Australia. In the hail of things to sort out & finalize we neglected to cancel this benefit before we left. The payments have been going into our UK bank account ever since. But we've only recently realised after someone at our old address forwarded some documents that they had received to our address in Australia. The documents are asking for us to update any details & from the looks of it they can't be simply ignored, resulting in payments being stopped. Looks like they might come after us for the payments back if we do simple ignore the request! Not sure what we can do now as we may well owe back several thousand pounds!! Just what we don't need right now!! :-( Any advice on how we should best proceed? Cheers ;-)

I did my HR truck training about a month ago. Got signed of by the instructor & got my license. Struggling to find work though because, it's the old catch 22, most jobs want a minimum of 2 years driving experience! Hard to find a job willing to take on a 12 tonne newbie!! :-) I'll keep trying though. Everyone has to start somewhere!! (I'm going to start putting this in my application / Resume!!)

I've found loads online already but I'm wondering what are the best job agencies/recruitment websites to be looking at here in NSW. I worked in IT back home doing technical support and general IT support stuff in a school. But over here I was looking to get into the open cut mines so I've just done my heavy vehicle (HR) training and license to broaden my horizons a bit. So I'm looking for good agencies where I can find IT jobs and also truck driving stuff ..... Until the mines pick up again! Keep hearing there in somewhat of a lul right now. Cheers ;-)

Download utorrent. Goto www.isohunt.com search for match of the day. Click on download torrent. Drag the doenloaded file to a usb stick and plug usb stick into playstation or blueray player and watch it. Takes me 20 mins to download i watch match of the day every sunday night before the matches on sunday night. Last week i watched match of the day then liverpool v man u and man city v arsenal on fox sports

Good old Torrents ;-) Will give this a go as well ....... As I'm thinking now is MoD (1) even on iPlayer?! I've seen MoD2 on there.

HI yeah foxtel is great for highlights, even better if you can stay up late to watch all of the games live! if you want a vpn / proxy and have a windows computer there is some software called expatshield (just google it) which give you a UK ip address and best of all its free. unfortunately it doesnt work for Macs.

 

Hope that helps.

Sounds just the ticket. Cheers for this, I'll look into it ;-)

Correct. Anything that you can access via the Internet in the UK will now be available from Aus

That's fu**ing fantastic! I'm definitely looking into this. Many thanks for the info ;-)

If you subscribe to Fox Sports....Monday night 6.30pm all the game highlights......big benefit no Hansen, Lawro or Shearer waffling on!! Just the games back to back.

I have to admit its Hansen, Lawro, Lineker, Shearer that I miss waffling on! :-) I miss their inter-game waffle!

Been watching plenty of footy on Fox though. Great to get such good coverage over here. But Mark Bosnich and that other dude's waffle can't top the MoD lads! ;-)

You need to subscribe for a VPN/Proxy service - basically gives you a UK IP address.

 

Haven't used one personally, but one that gets recommended a lot is: http://strongvpn.com/

 

Pretty decent rates.

Cool. So then I'll be able to watch regional UK stuff online, such as the BBC iPlayer stuff? Is Match of the Day on BBC iPlayer?! (I usually just watched it on TV).

I really miss Match of the Day! How can I watch this in Australia?!
