Guest mandymoo Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi Michelle, We are hoping to go to FitzGibbon or maybe Albany Creek. However, we are open to suggestions!! The only reason we say those two is because FitzGibbon is where we stayed when we were out there, and Albany Creek are where some friends of friends are. Both areas seem nice. Also, if Darren ends up getting this job in Brisbane, its at a place called Stafford Park, and both of these areas aren't too far for him to travel. I am really hoping that Darren gets a job in Brisbane, but we never know. There are places in Sydney and Adelaide. At the moment we are e-mailing loads of companies with his CV so seeing who gets in touch. So, have you put in your Skills Assessment yet?? We are hoping to get the visa app in by the end of October now. Feel a tad calmer about everything at the minute!!!! Please keep in touch, and like you say, if we both end up in Brisbane, would be nice to meet up. You never know!!!! Bye for now Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scoop Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi JC I'm with you at the mo! Had the news from my agents that I will have to delay my move by 12 months :roll: Since this news I have changed my mind a few times a day! Had got myself geared up for my new start but now I see complications everywhere It's so tuff this waiting game, was hoping this was going to be my last winter :cry: I suppose I will keep playing the waiting game and looking at other options :?: Hope it all works out for you whichever way you decide. Good luck with it all. Keep smiling even if it is just mania!! :shock: SCoop Would you rather regret doing it or not doing it !?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JC Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks Scoop. I'm sorry to hear you have to wait another 12 months, in ozzie words 'that sucks'. My application has been relatively easy so far so I have no excuse to be feeling this way and we both have great job offers. To be honest I have been on another website and some of the stuff on there is really starting to have a negative effect. Maybe I should just stop reading and see what happens. Good luck Scoop I feel for you I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scoop Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi JC It's not the other Poms in OZ forum per chance? I felt that one was very negative and depressing myself! :roll: It's a big move don't be so hard on yourself hun. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandymoo Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi JC I totally understand what you are going through, coz I feel exactly the same. One minute I'm yep this is for the best, and today, well I'm feeling that its not. To be honest, its such a HUGE move that I really don't know if its for the best or not. In the back of my mind, rightly or wrongly, I keep thinking if it doesn't work out, you can always come home!! I'm sure everything will work out for the best eh. Hope it all works out for you.

Guest nuttycaz Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi Michelle What interesting reading, as with a lot of people on here I too feel very nervous about moving...... After reading that your cousin's 13 year old seemed to be very happy, it made me feel a bit more settled about my 13 year old's feelings. I think that this has been one of the biggest worries in this whole move. There seems to be a lot of people moving with little ones and not so many with older children. I so much want my two to be happy, and I am sure they will be. I think there is soooooo much to think about isn't there!! Good luck with all your plans Cazzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest James Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Bet, we also fly out on the 19th to Melbourne, nite flight from Heathrow. We have just passed over into a surreal state of excitement, we have all the loose end tied-up are we have had all the get to-gathers all done bar 1(my close family). We have just recently had our final doubts and fears, (you need to go down every channel with each other about fears, wants, and needs) but we are so together now and focused that we feel that it is all going to work out just brilliant!! Its just getting past the final push but once you have that completed you feel as if you’re in the clear. Family are really our main concern now and how we are going to cope with out them. Our children are 18 & 14 and well up My dad is 78 and my mums 77 and my wife’s mother has just turned 70 so we know we will have to make 3 journeys home at some stage, but we are all only a day away. All I can say is to keep going forward. You know what they say, if you’re not going forward your standing still. Good luck to everyone… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
