Re: Ex pat children and access to UK NHS

Good catch!

It seems odd that someone out of the country for 6 months on holiday loses the right but someone working overseas for up to 5 yrs still gets it. Weird!

Re: What's happened to me?!?!?

Good on you! Living in UK has sent me loopy too - I walk 5-10 miles every day that I don't go to the gym. I'm wondering about running but at 64 think I'm probably too old to think about starting! ...

Re: Which part of Australia to choose?!

Go where you can get a job. TBH I don't think there is anywhere that is going to tick all your boxes at the same time so start by applying for all jobs, seeing what you get offered then choosing...

Re: Cost of living in Canberra-help needed!

LOL, sorry - $25k pa! Think somewhere between 2k and 2.5k per month. Assume you have found www.allhomes.com.au - they have pretty much the monopoly on rentals and purchases these days. Sorry for...

Re: Cost of living in Canberra-help needed!

This http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=Australia&city=Canberra seems pretty accurate to me.

Re: Urgent assistance please - 76 year old mom has to return to UK - don't know what

Re: How long did you rebel against the cold?

Cold weather clothing April 25 to September 18 (couple of family birthdays)- that's for Canberra though. On either side of that you just have to man up and shiver. All my boys only ever wore shorts...
