Guest The Newlands Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi SarahYou sound like you're looking for the same as me so let me know what you come across. My cheapest quote was £2400 loading ourselves,who was yours from? The biggest decision at min is about my dog,I can't justify almost £2500 to ship him out but can't imagine life without him. I'll check them areas out today. Darren wants to be closer to the centre but it's more old fashioned and expensive,I love new builds Not too far from the beach or transport,good schools,pubs,parks,shops and football, can't be that impossible lol. Mandi xx Hi Mandi Its weird how similar our timeline, and situations are. :err: We too have a dog, 8 year old staffi which is our "little boy with fur" BUTlike yourselves we cant justify paying all that money when he would hate the journey, never been in kennells before and loves his home comforts too much. It would destry him. SO, as our 19 year old isnt coming with us, we have asked her to look after "ernie" for us. It is so hard leaving a daughter back in UK let alone a dog lol:cry: I know the dog sinario is for the best but we keep telling our son (13) we WILL ship him over when we have settled in our "home". I am trying to justify but I know we wont bring him over for the reasons above. I dont want to replace him either so it looks like we wont be having a pet dog in OZ:embarrassed: I am still waiting on the job front:arghh:< all they had to do was speak to my referee's, I did send them paper ref's to back up but when i sent my final e-mail yesterday the reply came back with "it's my referee's that are holding the process up" I have clearly made connect with ALL my ref's and not one of them have received any contact by either way of phone or e-mail!!!!!!! Without sounding too dissapointed i sent an e-mail back explaining this so lets hope that they have "egg on their faces" and kick some ass from today. If I didnt want to work for this particular company so much i would of struck them off months ago as that's how long the interview process and skype interviews have been going:arghh: To add to all this there are some right "jerks" when it comes to the removal companies, all will be posted when we get our final quote on monday. Well, RANT over:realmad: Glad to hear your looking in the same area's too as i am sure we will have loads to talk about:arghh: and have loads in common too. You and your family are the initial ones that we said are very much on the same wave length as us. This was from reading all your posts etc etc. Have you got a definitive date as to when your going? our 3 month holiday rental is in Neerbug, just outside Joondaloop. its an annex to a house with pool, kitchenette etc. its classed as a B&B, there's no bills to pay so this helps during the initial 3 months or maybe until we find the "right home" So many people feel pressured into making a decision within the first 3 months but we arn't going to rush. After all we'll be LIVING in AUSTRALIA so do as the AUSTRALIANS do....................SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW lol I dont know the meaning of that word so this is something I must adapt too.:notworthy: Speak soon, Sarah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardy Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Emailed my CO yesterday to ask for an time extension as can't get our Police check forms signed for a couple more days (busy police officer!) and she has given us another 28 days to get the receipt to her.....YAAY ! I obviously prompted her to mark all our meds as finalised so unless the missus has been shoplifting we should be all OK once the PCC is done.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eweasel Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A little update from us ... Got a good response to job applications - but looks more likely that OH will actually have to apply officially when we actually arrive in OZ. Plenty of work in his trade so this isn't a big deal although we would prefer to have at least an offer on the table - still we have several companies interested and an agency making the right noises - fingers crossed. How are others getting on in the job front? Est Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say though I'm impressed that you actually get responses from Aussie companies so quickly :yes: its reassuring that he does have the skills that they are looking for.
