frances Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi again Kim, we are living in N.S.W about an hour from Sydney on the Central coast. I will have to ask my son if he remembers Josh, he doesn't seem to remember anyone else going to Oz though. A lot of people seem to go to Brisbane and really like it, I would reallly like it here if I could get a decent job apart from that it is lovely and we haven't seen much yet as we have only been here 7 months. I applied for another job today so wish me luck!!! Where do you work? was it a Bank holiday on Monday and if so was the weather nice? we have got the Queens Birthday off next Monday I think I can never understand why that isn't a holiday in the UK. I had lost this threat and was having panic attacks as I enjoy talking to people onn here especially when they come from the same area Speak soon Frances oh hello everyone else from good old Essex!!!!!:cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KP Nuts Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi the Greenwoods & Baggo's and everyone else from Essex, Sorry haven't replied for some time (waiting for our TRA papers to arrival to start the long process), well we might take your advice and sit down and tell them or then again wait until we heard from the TRA's or we might just turn up and let all the other kids tell them why there are all here!!!!:unsure: Confused:yes: So the people of Essex what date and time are we looking at?????? Where are you heading for in OZ????? KP Nuts (Kim & Peter) plus 3 little nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clare1969 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi KP Nuts, We have been in the process for 10 months now, told our son (who is 10) as soon as we made the decission and had initial feedback from our agents that our application would have a good chance of acceptance. We thought that his views on the whole idea was important to us. We have just had medicals so hopefully should find out about visas in 4 to 5 weeks. Were are you looking to go is Oz.
