The last bit (after sending off the medicals and poilce checks) only took 2 weeks, we have just got back from a weeks holiday and my husband kept saying - do you think there will be a letter - I was sure it would be at least another 6 weeks. Anyway, that's it - AUSTRALIA WANTS US!
All we need to do now is sell the house, oh and start looking for jobs, oh and tell everyone...
If anyone has changed their mind about emigrating to Oz and instead would like to buy a cheeky little number (3 beds, views of the sea if you stand on tiptoes in the upstairs bedroom) in the North East of England let us know.

Dont take the highest valuation by the estate agents.
Bake bread/cakes before a viewing it makes people viewing feel more at home. Or use a coffee maker for the same reason.
Neutral decor but not boring.
Definitly no kippers the night before viewing
LOLDont sound desperate to sell , dont say you are emigrating as offers made will be low.
Good luck guys.
