We are just in the process of getting skills assessments done. Hoping to be in Perth 2006! fingers crossed

Re: Anyone around from Yorkshire
Hi again.
Although I may not be able to make it to a meet with us leaving soon and being so busy. Ones in wacky warehouses work really well. There is one in Sheffield near Meadowhall for those of you who don't know about it, and probably a good one to meet at with it being near bus/train and tram stops.

I'm off to the dentist in a bit :scared: but I'll have a think and see if I can throw a few ideas your way.
On 12th Sept, I'll of been in Oz for 2 days
We got our passports back a couple of minutes ago with the visas in them so I'm guarding them with my life now. It's scary to think how fast time is flying by for us now

Yes, THEGREATIDIOT is from Yorkshire. Ah, lovely place, lovely people. Salt of the earth.
As opposed to oz, which needs the earth salting.

Hi,
My husband and I have just started all this and we would be totally up for a Yorkshire meet. Fab idea
Just say the word and we will be there.
We are in Harrogate loads of pubs here and nice for a day out.

Hi
I live up Harlow hill, Where are you? Do you fancy meeting for coffee so I can pick your brains.
We want to move to Melbourne, my brother has designed the new train station there and has lots of contacts where are you going.
You dont have a niece called Kerry do you, odd thing to ask but one of my students aunts is going to oz in a few weeks.
