Hey Pip, thanks for that reply Things a lot better now, settled any debt I had, sold my nice car (so won't import it) and motorcycle, bought my (ex)partner out, divorce papers all done and back with local county court etc mortgage re-arranged and just about in my name (via solicitors), so am pretty much ready to sell it or rent it.
Looking back at that post, seems a world away - yet it was only in February.
Just need to put a lil by each month to save for Oz and keep applying for roles. I need to sort a visa out; to get a 457, I need a job offer - but for a Job offer I need a 457! So perhaps need to consider a working holiday visa which I picked up from another thread...
Anyway, onwards and upwards
