Do you have anywhere to stay when you arrive? Our friends have recommended a motel / serviced apartment place at Kangaroo Point which works out at around £200 per week if you want the details.

We may be free Friday night! It's Chris's Granny's 80th on Saturday so don't know if we've gotta go to Skeg to see her

Re: Notts meet 24th June
hi there everyone
can i suggest that we could do a sunday lunch somewhere so that we could take the kids with us?
maybe we could meet at wollaton park and have a picnic?
what about sunday the 13th august,
i will organize the picnic rota if you want.
let me know your thoughts please or alternative locations.
i picked wollaton park because i thought it might be central for all.

Re: Notts meet 24th June
Yep, we can do the 13th, picnic rota sounds interesting. Wollaton is fine if its central for everyone else, but it means no vodka jelly :scared:
How many will be jetting off after this meeting, I'm losing count? Will there be anyone left by Xmas?

Think we will be ok for 13th just need to check Marks rota - Woolaton Park sounds gr8 and I am sure we will still be here for XMAS -
We've just put our SIR application in but it had to be Adelaide - Queensland took Marks job off the list 1st July so we missed the cutoff by a few weeks. Just took about 2 weeks to decide where to apply to
Know any good vets in Adelaide?

Sorry can't make it as we're on hols - up really early this morning as I can't sleep - waiting for news - god it's like waiting for your exam results when you're 16 (come to think of it, failed half of them!!)
Have a great time

Hi Jodie
Sorry to hear you wont be coming to Brisbane, I was quite looking forward to seeing a familiar face - and Steve a familiar client. I do know of a vet in Adelaide, but I'm not sure where she is, dont know what her work is like either, sorry. You can move after a couple of years though cant you? Can the dog wait that long?

Re: Notts meet 24th June
Are you free this Sunday instead Caz??? Then we can say farewell to Mr & Mrs Ashbridge. Aaaaaaahhhhh! Are you having a leaving do Mark??? 
We're not....couldn't cope with all that. You'd spend all night talking to folk and repeating yourself!! No, i'd rather just go out with a few friends and have a few
Tracy/Mark - i need your advice - we've had contract and transfer papers today from our solicitor to sign and a few questions to answer, our buyers have their mortgage in place so how long do you think we'll be now??? I know... but a rough idea??? Our buyer reckons 3 weeks, what do you think??? Going mad and need to have a rough idea to plan for!!!

I think it took about 4-5 weeks from then. The completion date kept going backwards. It took a full week for the transfer of funds to go from their bank to ours!!!!!!!!!! It really depends on their solicitor. We kept chasing every day. I would say 3 weeks if all goes smoothly but allow 4.
Good luck
