Happy Christmas & New Year

A few final questions before I head off:

1. Car insurance, I am going to cancel it. I'm with AA what are the chances I will get a refund? 8 months left on insurance disc.

2. Credit references. Bank of Ireland website directs me to Irish Credit Bureau. Anyone used these guys?

3. The taxman. Any particular forms to fill out to let them know that I am off or will a general letter do?

You will get money back from the AA and make sure you get onto the tax office you will get money back from them as well. Better in your pocket than theirs.

HI all,

We are here in OZ nearly a year now and was wondering how everyone is doing.

How easy it is to forget to post here, while trying to settle in.

Hope all are doing well.

will try and post more often.

Regards
Silverski

Hi Jen we have been following your story, you have done really well, we now have the emotional roller coaster ahead of us which we are dreading, but when you have a calling for Oz it is something that you can't get out of your head. Hope you have a great time in Queensland and take plenty of rest, takes a while to over the jetlag.
