...another great day!
Well as mcmercer junior is now recovered and subsequently driving us potty we decided it was time to enrol her in school. Contacted the local state school to where we'll be who suggested we come in for a chat today.
We spent an hour or so with the deputy principal, filled in a forest worth of forms and it was all done! He suggested she start tomorrow which is sooner than we anticipated but shes very pleased about it! We had to show her birth certificate but they werent too interested in the reports we'd bought from the uk school, however, as shes only in year 1, I guess they'll be doing their own assessment anyway as the school year is fairly new.
We went off armed with a book list that the local newsagent kindly put together for us so shes all set for tomorrow!
Next on todays agenda was collecting my car. Its a daewoo Kalos and is great, though as I'm the type of driver whos only worried about a cd player and being small enough to park I guess I'm not a great judge!
Final bit of news for the day is that Wills been offered a second job, though this has prompted him to accept the first as it was much better paid, its nice to be wanted!
Long may it continue......

Grade one they mainly learn letters and numbers and start reading, plus simple writing, joined up wirting wont start till Grade 3, its a busy year they really learn a lot, but its not stressful, no testing or anything. I'd say coming from the UK she will find it very very easy, certainly not stressful at all.

Hi Michaela
Thanks for the posts. By the time we get there I think it will feel like we've already done a dry run!
Keep up the good work.

Its stuff like sorting out a school and job that provokes anxiety so if our experience reassures anyone then its worth 10 minutes. I've no doubt there'll be not such good days too, I'll post about them as well I expect
when I start working I wont have so much time on here but in the meantime.....
ooops, posted under Wills username, sorry! Michaela

Seems to go from good to better for you at the mo!! Any chance of a timeline (if you've not already done one) of what you have got done and when. Would be useful in our Brissy planning.

Glad all is well, it`s nice to see some positive threads.
Tell Will to e-mail me with all the details on the printers he is going to work for , great he got offered 2 jobs so quickly - makes me feel a little happier about finding work .
I was a little confused about your reference to the car - I thought women were only worried about the colour !!!!

Dave T, I've told Will, he'll be in touch, thought you were going to Perth? Never understood the colour thing with cars cus you cant see it when you're driving anyway
Debsy, Wills a printer, there are loads and loads of printing jobs here varying from basic machine work to production management.
Muzz's, Will do a timeline as soon as we get last bits and pieces sorted out.
Thanks everyone for your replies and encouragement
