We booked our flights, we fly to Singapore via London for 4 nights on 9th August and then onward to Perth...We land Perth August 14th at 14.35.....

It all real now. We had validated and Singapore gave us an extra 10kg per person, and sent an e-mail confirming this, just ask nice and they are so helpful!!!!

It all so real, shippers in 15 days and counting!!!

Hi Chris

Not sure what time, which ever is the cheapest. We have just been out on our second recce (end of april) to make sure perth was the right place, our first recce was back in 2003 and a lot has change so you may be in for a shock, its like one big building site and as you know the house prices have doubled. We was on the 10.00pm flight which i thought was a good time to fly as got about 5 hrs sleep due to being a night flight.

We need to get out there soon as visa running out, need the b****y house to exchange.:curse: Let us know what you book.

Our 6 year old won an award for playfun club which he does at school and last night and we all went to see him accept his award at the local theatre. Both our moms and Davids dad came and when he went up on stage they absolutely blarted! Me and David didn't know where to look but I think it was more upsetting for them with the realisation that they will miss things like this in the future.

I am absolutely dreading the goodbyes as it gets closer, still wish we had booked for the week before and gone without telling anyone and then phoned them all from Oz to say were here!

Hi Sarah,

I'm with you on the goodbyes as I know I'll be upset.....My OH has no immediate family in the UK but will still find it really hard to say goodbye to his friends as they have been his surrogate family in the UK. That said, Aus is only a plane flight away (okay so a really long one) and the internet makes it so much easier to keep in touch these days. Even my mom has taken computer lessons so she can e-mail and use a webcam!!! Not bad for a complete computer novice!
We leave on 24th August and still haven't sold our house yet got everything crossed for a sale before we go but have contacted our insurance company just in case! If anyone else is like us out there and may be leaving a house empty to sell remember to speak to your insurance company as your house isn't insured after a certain amount of time being empty....you can however get empty house insurance that will cover you, that way you don't have to fib and keep paying council tax etc. to make it look as if someone is living in your house.
Best wishes to everyone

We had our flights booked as well (and other things), but I will have to un-book it now, as our hosue sale fell through this week .

The couple that were buying from us decided to split up instead of signing the house sale contract! So, now they won't be buying the house and we have to start all over with the house sale. But just before the summer holidays there are lots fewer people looking compared to April/May.

Husband even had an interview in Perth for 14 August which he now can't attend.

Sorry to here that Gina, just when it looked like you were finally there and ready to rock n roll.

Keep the spirit up and I`m sure it will all work out for you.

Mick

PS We have a big party to organise on the other side!

Now, where did I put the name labels??? [scratches head and looks around]

Thanks for the good wishes - I need all the positive vibes I can get right now (feeling very down).

Oh Gina, I'm sorry but really do know how you feel our first sale fell through and we had a really rediculous offer last week that we couldn't accept so we are still waiting for that elusive buyer...we decided to go to Perth anyway and leave the house empty to sell, just can't afford to stay here with no jobs, mortgage etc when at least we could sort out jobs etc in Perth. It's going to be a real struggle financially but we are keeping everything crossed that the house sells sooner rather than later..
Anyway, sending you some karma to keep you positive

Hi there,
does anyone know of any good colleges in Perth?
It's where we also want to head for.
I'm thinking of applying for Hairdressing or hubby doing an accountants course on a student visa.
We also have a 7 year old so need to find schooling for her.
Any tips/ advice on some nice area's would be great.
We have been to Queensland and Melbourne.
But fancy perth.
