Guest garynhelen Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can't believe it! Not sure where we're going, (hoping to move to Perth) but they might send us to Darwin or Queensland! Still, it's a free trip down under, so not complaining!! Positive skills assesment back, (Welfare Worker), waiting for IELTS results, then will complete visa application online. All looking good at the moment. We're on facebook: Gary Ward (leeds network) and Helen Ward (Leeds Network) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest garynhelen Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks for all your encouragement, I guess it's just one of those things that works out once in a lifetime. We had to fill in an application form, then the second stage was a 30 min phone call with all the family (Hubby 42, me 40, Dan 14, Becky 15 and Rachel 11). Then they wanted to visit with a camera and a fuzzy microphone on a stick! They stayed about an hour, then a couple of days ago they contacted us to say they wanted to use us and asked how flexible we were about destination and dates. They're gonna start filming in about 7 weeks time, with the new series going out in new year. It's possible they might film 2 series back to back so will still be looking for people to be on it. Still can't believe it, we never win anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yankee Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Congrats! We've been asked if we could do a similar stint on German TV. I said... if they pay us, then fine. If they want to help with boxes... even better. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
