Fox Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 We had some feedback about our house viewings last Saturday. The first couple, who spent an age looking around, are not interested, but the second couple who were here for all of five minutes liked it and, depending on their sale, could be back in touch. I think I'll believe it when I see it. Yesterday I received an email about a job I'd applied for asking if I could meet up with the companies representatives who will be over here for some expos in a few weeks. I replied saying yes and today I received a confirmation email for the meeting. Hopefully things have started to moving in the right direction now.

Well done! Go give it your best shot! Thanks for your encouragement although I'm not actually going to any of the expos, they want to meet with me near to where I live 'cos they'll be passing through on their way as they liked my CV and want to interview me. I can't speak for the expos in March as the I've only been to one which was an invitation only one last year and it didn't tell me anything I hadn't already found out on the internet or from books. Having said that I think there are a number of people who have ended up with jobs and relocation packages as a result of going to these expos so it might be worth a shot.

That's great that they are coming to you. Wishing you all the best! :yes: I was encouraged to find out that real reps go to the Expos. :biggrin: Might let him go :wink: he does already have some leads and contacts so might persuade him to leave it. He'll be right! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Although I feel like I have done loads to get to Oz today, I don't think any of it will actually get me there! Northwood viewed the property, not sure about them, he's emailing the quote. :err:Had to turn other letting agent away as the terms and conditions on our consent to lease make it impossible for them to market our property. :realmad:Have another agent viewing the property tomorrow, and I registered myself and my OH as landlords (although I stuffed it up and had to phone the local authority to ask them to fix it!) :laugh: Glad the rest of you are having better luck than us... If it weren't for PIO I would have gone insane by now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Chin up AJW. We got our visas in 2008 and for one reason or another we are only now in a position to make the move. Our house has been on the market for 9 months and we've only seen any interest in the last month. Keep at it and I hope things work out for you.

AJW Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanx Fox... Wish we had more time to keep the house on the market, but OH has 61 days to get to Oz and start work or else they will cancel his contract. I don't work as I have 2 young children, so can't pay for the mortgage while he's gone. We have to rent, no other choice. Needless to say we will now not be getting our equity out of the sale and therefore have no money to take to Oz with us. It's a nightmare really... Hope you get your sale soon. The market is awful, well where I live anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewebweazel Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 LOOOOOL :laugh: Does that BIL come with popadoms??? Are you really from Oz, it sounds like you are really from Papua New Guinea.

Chardy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not sure curries are very good at tiling either ! A"Nan" bread might though but don't send her up a stepladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raveenasultan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You should really do a reccie before spending loads of money training, getting a Visa and setting your heart upon moving to Oz. TV paints a very conformist picture of Australia where everything is neat and dandy. TBH if I only had TV to go on I do not think that I would be emigrating, the wonderful thing for me is that Australia is better then TV TBH I'm sick of living in the UK lol! and I've been doing lots of googling for the past couple of years i.e looking at house prices (realestate.com.au), seeing what kind of vacancies they have in the Early years sector over in Oz (seek.com.au) and how they work with children in general. Also constantly looking at the immigration website (immi.gov) to see what has changed for visa requirements and what news there is about immigration. Done quite a lot of google earth on some possible areas I'd like to live when I finally begin applying to go down under. Trying to save up for a holiday to australia either this summer or next summer now :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caz Brady Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I may have moved us further from Oz today :grumpy1 figured out that they need tilers in Canada too so now have to look into that!

Guest tandcmum Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 we have 2 weeks until the shippers come, going to have to make a start on sorting out what we are sending. think i may go and have a sort through the several bags of teddies and see if i can reduce it a bit. No point doing it when daughter is here as none of them will end up inthe charity bag. i also need to fiull another couple of bin liners of clothes out of the wardrobe, keep thinking i'll have nothing left but it doesn't seem to go down any, and hees me claiming i dont have any clothes...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got rid of loads (without telling them!). But typically they've asked where they are...... Argh..... They've not played with them for sooooo long, why now :-/ On the upside to having her home is I can sit here on PIO whilst supervising her with a cardboard box and scissors :0) AC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
