Emma83 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Applied for NSW police check. Filled the paperwork out for my UK police check and booked a blood test to prove I have has mumps vaccine. Wish I could say I was now on top of my too do list but I feel like I am drowning in admin atm. Just keep reminding myself it will all be worth it in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaunty Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Just got a job offer in a completely different area than what my pr visa was granted for (General Plumber). After activation trip got a bit worried about cost of living, training costs and earnings for 18 months whilst getting licenced. Going back to IT with a view to 'hit the ground running' when we get out there! Gaunty Edited December 16, 2012 by gaunty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum of 5 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 24 hrs after booking I still hadn't received confirmation so I rang to be told I had booked, and paid, but airline hadn't booked us ??? So they have refunded us, but not cancelled cause nothing was booked. Will take 72 hrs for money to be returned to my account so I can then go and book again.

Lindor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Woke up at 10 after 3 hours sleep, had mini meltdown, signed house up with letting agent, had mini meltdown. Took car to Carcraft, got much less than its worth, you can probably guess what happened next! Eldest Granddaughter took the Christmas tree down, daughter encouraged me to throw stuff out! Sitting with a glass of Baileys feeling overwhelmed, dreading the goodbyes tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Today we have accepted an offer on our house. Now we need to find somewhere to rent until we get our 457.Nervous to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffanZimbo Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Redrafted our budget (for the upteenth time!!) in order to work out the earliest date we can leave the UK... I had a date of August 2015 but a lot hinges on us saving like crazy to meet this date as we have decided to rent out the house instead of selling due to the dismal housing market. On the bright side only 11 weeks till we fly to Perth for our reccie. Thanks to amazing friends we have significantly reduced out costs as we will be staying with them and very gladly taken up their offer of a loan car for the 3 weeks we are on the ground. I don't want to wish my life away but roll on August 2015! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
