Hi all I've been on this forum for a couple of months now and have found it very useful. Now this isn't about Oz in Sept I will be doing the shine marathon for cancer research. I am doing it for 2 reasons the first is that when I hit the big 40 I had goals that I wanted to achieve ( you might call it my bucket list) and seeing how my children are all virtually adults I thought its time to do the things I've always wanted to do you only get one chance at life and I thought if I could combine some of these things by raising money for charity then it means I'm giving something back. Last year I climb Snowdonia for a dog rescue charity. So this year I am trying to raise money for cancer research because I think at some time or another unfortunately we will all be affected by cancer, be it ourselves, our families or our friends and by doing the marathon I will be ticking something off my list. Anyway if you would like to sponsor me (I'm trying to raise £250) I have put a link to my just giving page( I do not receive any money it goes straight to the charity),anything you can spare would be great. A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE SUE:biggrin: https://apps.facebook.com/jgdonation/susanharrison2012/on-facebook?fb_ref=fundraising-page-facebook&fb_source=timeline OR YOU CAN TEXT A DONATION BY TEXTING SUEH77 TO 70700 THANK YOU

You should definatley declare your conviction they will find out about it and it will go against you if you dont if you served less than 12 month prison sentence then it shouldn't be a problem

I went to one last week in Manchester they were doing informal interviews you gave them your CV but I not sure if it will lead to a job or not I am going to the Birmingham one aswell

whereabouts in salford I grew up in salford how old are your kids

Hi we are from Manchester hoping to move over ASAP great to see lots of good old northerners in QLD

thanks for the advise my 2 eldest are both in uni and we were hoping to transfer their courses over I think a PR visa would be better in our case uni fees are expensive enough without paying international fees on top

thanks tracey
