calNgary Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Im Bolton born and bred ,lol and moved to Bury at 17 with my now hubby. Some rental agents can be a nightmare but ive only really got experience of QLD so hard to comment on what it will be like for you. Just get everything and anything in writing, i have found agents cant keep their word and i slipped up with that a couple of times. Lots of luck with it all Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Baxter Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yes they are both really excited, my eldest just wants to get out there. Hubby wants to get out and get the BBQ lit. What about your children? I am looking forward to looking around for somewhere to live although I think we may be spoilt for choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
