Jack91 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hello everyone, Firstly, I'm very sorry for my absence over the last few months had a lot going on, I have browsed to make sure everyone has been behaving..... I was in hospital over Christmas due to having fairly major surgery on my stomach, everything is fine now and I'm training again which is great. Eating chicken soup and yoghurt on Christmas day wasn't fun that's for sure! Back up to weight now and am fit as a fiddle! Checking in to let everyone know that I leave on Monday, flight is leaving at 21:20, from then on in the next chapter starts and my fiancé and I can build a future together! It's all very exciting! Next things are getting a job, buying a car, building a house, get married and then who knows!!! Just want to thank everyone on this forum who has helped point me in the right direction since last year and I shall always be eternally grateful! :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack91 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 This thread is now over a year old. I have been here a year!!!!!! Again, thank you to those members who have helped throughout the entire process! For those of you who are interested I'll do a quick update. I lived with the inlaws for 6 months which was surprisingly nice, their house is big enough for two living zones which was very very very handy! I got a job within 72 hours doing what I was doing in the UK, I had emailed the company long before I left the UK just to say I was coming over and going to look for a job, they called the day I landed and I had an interview the day after. Some what jet lagged. I got the job! I was happy there. We put an offer in on a house in September which was accepted, we then had to get a building and pest inspection done, which came back with all sorts of problems. The guy who did the test told us to steer well and truly clear of the house. So it was back to the drawing board, many house viewings and hours looking online. We stumbled upon a house, with pool, fairly large garden, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, double garage and room to extend. We fell in love with the place!! It was a little out of the budget but we put an offer in anyway. It was rejected. With a few calls backwards and forwards we finally get an it accepted! We moved into the house in October.... the same day our new sofa arrived!!! Lucky! Both settled into the house very quickly and before we knew it, Christmas was here! I decided to fly back to the UK for 2 weeks to surprise everyone with great success!! I decided to leave my job, there were no promotion opportunities so I handed my CV around and got a job within a day or 2. I've now been there 2 months and am currently foreman which is great. Wedding planning all done so roll on October when both our families come to Australia to celebrate!!!! Cheers again people!! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommie679 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Such an awesome thread Jack 91; thank you. It’s made me want it even more for me and my boyfriend (of 11 years) now, looks and sounds like you’re living the dream. Congratulations. I’m nervously waiting (praying) for my PR 190 to be granted. Everything completed and I submitted my application into my ImmiAccount 11/4/16, now it’s the unbearable waiting game. All the best for the future and your wedding in October. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbye grey sky Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Great update. Just reviewed your timeline and saw that we arrived in Brisbane just 3 months after you so well into our 4th year here. My previous life in the UK is becoming a distant memory now. Onwards and upwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
