Guest51810 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Still not completely organised but I've got my first 2 weeks accomodation sorted. Mums getting my luggage next week for my birthday if I can finally bloody pick something!! Going to sort out my insurance on Tuesday when I have my day off because I need to see about the whole asthma thing. Then Ill be booking my flight when I get paid again. Then the rest is mostly just spending money. Have to put the overtime in! Im hoping that once most things are sorted I'll feel more excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I packed the morning I was leaving. Realised when I reached Perth that I had forgotten Socks and swim shorts. First 2 stops were target and City beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah as long as you have the important stuff then really you can buy anything over there! I quite often have nightmares that I go to airport without my passport and money :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 With the exchange rate you are going to have more money to spend too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Stacey re luggage?Have a look at Debenhams?Some bargains on here hon.xx http://www.debenhams.com/sale/home/tripp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Not as much as I hoped Id be going with. Wanted to go with £5k which I won't manage but never mind! Might make 4k. I could stay and save up more but I just feel the longer I wait the more comfortable I get over here and I won't go. I even thought several times of just going a holiday but I wouldn't see much in that. I'll just see how it goes! Exchange rate will definitely help a bit though, it makes up a little for the job situation not being great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Stacey re luggage?Have a look at Debenhams?Some bargains on here hon.xxhttp://www.debenhams.com/sale/home/tripp . Thank you! Didn't think of Debenhams. My problem was I kept looking at ones like Kathmandu, Sierra etc. I don't know wether most people just go with a normal suitcase or they buy the travel names. I don't have the best of luck with suitcases so im definitely wanting something that won't break if I don't buy a backpack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I feel like there's another main thing im forgetting about - remembered flight (obv), visa again :sad:, insurance, luggage, some clothes and spending money. I'll be sorting Medicare etc once I get there but still feel like there's something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
