Guest Boxertony Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Jane my wife had a telephone job interview with Shaun Gillespie the Director of Nursing at the Calvary North Hospital, this morning at 06.30 a.m. Jane has got the job. Working on the 26 Bed Oncology Ward there. The best thing about it is that they are willing to train Jane up to be an Enrolled Nurse, then an optional opportunity to train for RGN. We are overwhelmed with this opportunity and I am ever so proud of my wife. She has worked as a healthcare assistant for 16 years now and always dreamt to be a Nurse, but because of having children and the expense for the Nurse training, she has never managed it. I have gained the actual visa and have the vast amounts of experience and qualifications, so we took it for granted that I will gain suitable employment and Jane will find a part-time job eventually. Then this happens. I have also got my interview with Alex Edwards-Brown the Director of Nursing for the Glenside Campus Hospital, sometime next week, I am very confident in gaining a job through him. In addition, I had a viewing for my house on Tuesday and the guy telephoned me yesterday and said to me that he will come and see me today at 1pm today and that he wants me to tell him a price for my house and with everything to go with it, the furniture - the all lot. Also we have agreed not to go through the estate agent, thus saving me £3k in fees. The best part is, he is going to give me cash in the hand, obviously through solicitors. I am currently waiting for an operation for Hiatus Hernia, because I am in major pain. I am now considering paying for a private consultation and this consultant referring me for the operation, too see if this can speed things up, but it will have to be on the NHS. However I have now decided to still come to Adelaide if I dont suceed with my operation before Xmas and see if I can have it in Adelaide. All this has happened in the last few days, bloody hell we have hit the ground running and Wow! We are going to enjoy the ride. Jane's job starts in January, our house sold today and move out by end of October. Spend Xmas with my family in Burnley, Lancashire and also Jane's family in Leicester and then fly out late December/early January, bye bye freezing Newcastle upon Tyne. Hello Summer in Adelaide. After I have spoken to the guy who is buying my house today I will then search for flights and once I have booked them I will then apply for AOA via South Australia Government. Need to sort out removals, just to take our clothes and odds and sods. Right you readers: Need your help/assistance (join our ride). lol. QUESTIONS 1. What are the best area's to reside/live, which will be near Calvary North Hospital and Glenside Campus Hospital as well as near the CBD, transport links, the beach and just as important we have kids at 21 (lad), 17 (girl) and 11(girl) so we need somewhere lively (entertainment wise), for them to enjoy. More urgently is to provide us with some places where there are community houses are, so we can at least request certain areas for our AOA. Nothing wrong with just requesting on the application form for AOA. 1.5 Also friends please, especially for my kids, Love BBq's if anyone is having any (hint hint)., thats for the oldies, lol. 2. The best places to look for cheap flights to Adelaide. 3. Removal companies, must admit thinking of John Mason. However through Moneycorp they have a removal company, which we get a discount and its only three miles away from my current home. 4. Because AOA is not certain, what is the best option for a back-up plan regarding suitable accommodation. Is there any problems if I arrange alternative accommodation and then cancel it at th every last minute due to gaing AOA. I would fancy a caravan park for a back-up. WE ARE SO HAPPY !!!!! __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J-inOz Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi, Tony. You may get more response from the folk on adelaidebrits site as some have short term rentals. We stayed at brighton caravan park for two weeks. A lot of brits have stayed there and they know there are plenty more a coming. It is quite expensive and sometimes some of these short term lets work out cheaper. I can't help you on suburbs as I don't know those areas. We booked our flights over here with travelbag. I don't know if they are still operating as it has been four years since we have used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Boxertony Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Just to let you know that our house has now fallen through. Gutted and now back to square one. So I have now gone onto a Interest only mortgage for the next two years or until it's sold. Because going on Interest only it's knocked off £210.00 per month. So we will decide to leave our property empty and continue to pay the mortgage whilst living in Adelaide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaj Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 have you considered renting your house out? Thats what we are doing and its working out for us. The rent more then covers our mortgage. Good luck with your move Emma x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Gary. Hi Gary, my wife is from Leicester. Her two brothers, her sister, aunties and uncles still live there. Her Mam lives in Melton Mowbray. We fly out to Adelaide on the Monday 8th February. Therefore we are visiting the family for a couple of days at the weekend of the 30th Jan, plus Leicester FC are playing Newcastle United so going on that game. We live in Newcastle upon Tyne. So how far are you regarding the visa process etc. What type of work are you going for for your visa application. I have been offered 3 jobs and wife starts her job on the 1st March. My son Nathan has got trials with Adelaide United over there. Keep in touch and if we see you in Leicester first drink is on you lol. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
