10 days in Perth
 

Hi everyone,
not been on for awhile due to hectic schedule of emmigrating!
dont know where to start been rushing about like headless chickens....from Centrelink to medicare to licensing centre to job centre to kids schools....I wont even start on rentals.
Got myself a UTE yesterday so I feel like a proper Aussie now. A nice Holden Rodeo crew cab. (the kids being my crew)
Found a rental in the Somerly estate at Clarkson, its only a year old so is quite nice. Now we have to furnish it before we move in.
After the expense of the UTE, new fridge, washing machine etc etc, very nearly out of cash so it looks like I have to seriously look for a job. (so Hayley tells me)

My youngest daughter started school already and she loves it, my son the teenager from hell starts monday (hurrah).

Everyone we have met so far has been great, had plenty of time for us, lets hope it stays that way.

Dont have phone or internet yet so I'm using Clarkson library (which is fantastic btw, and its free)

Gotta go now, got to see a man about a fridge. :)

cheers I will keep posting but its tricky at the moment having no internet at home. Will be up and running in a week or so though in the new rental.
Having to watch dodgy Aussie TV most evenings.....those bloody adverts. :)

Try having bad tv reception to watch them too... :rolleyes: I have more or less given up on tv!!!.....good job Neil's been done! :D ;)

Re: 10 days in Perth
 

Yeah me too, did you see the guy have a vasectomy live on TV the other night, they didnt show him the next day though when the pain kicks in! I have to content myself watching DVD's. Which are actually very cheap to rent here, about 90 pence for new releases. I rented the whole first season of the Sopranos for 6 dollars....not too shabby. (sounding like an Aussie already)
I expect the boys will be online gaming again soon, trying to kill each other now we are almost in the same time zone :D

there is no aerial in our rental so we bought one of those boosted indoor ones - brilliant picture so at least I can watch neighbours now! ;)
