Cheers Rodders.



I've been watching WDU for he past couple of weeks now and have found to be very repetetive.I've been watching WDU for he past couple of weeks now and have found to be very repetetive.(Sorry ).
But for some strange reason I can't stop watching. I've sky+ nearly every episode and haven't deleted any of them. I think I'm waiting to see if anyone can earn more than a carpet fitter.
It was good to hear that some of the families have continued with their dreams. My hat goes off to you all. I ADMIRE YOU ALL, it's good to talk about it but truly amazing to do it. Is it as Nadia says "One of the toughest decisions you'll ever make"?

i agree, i would like to know though from the people who were on the programme how many actually ended up applying for visa's and then how many actually got the visa's and took the plunge and moved out there this would be a good follow up programme dont you think?

I don't think the dentist and family took the plunge. They seemed far to fussy.

Going to watch that one tonight... Think a couple of stiff G&T's before will be required...!

they lived in a semi in luton with her parents and complained that a million dollar seafront 5x3 wasn't big enough, whinging buggars.

I have an idea but just need clarification.

Why would people want to emigrate to Australia if they're scared of spiders/ snakes etc?

i think the dentist might have wanted to take her parents to live with them and so want a bigger house.
they had a fair amount of money and so have choices..
the hairdresser (blonde woman) was similar in that she didnt seem happy with things. but she too had choice it seemed..
both these couples might still want to go but not to where they were sent..
each to their own

im sure the bbc would want to create some drama through editing..
wish they had chosen me

I know what you mean, but as a spider disliker I think I would like to elucidate on that point.

I grew up in Africa, so I grew up with a healthy distrust of spiders because they could in many cases injure/kill, which has carried forward to the UK where they are decidedly less of a problem from a biting and killing point of view. Snakes were the same but an incident in Bangkok remedied that one (and it has nothing to do with any parlour of any description I might add).

The wife on today's programme did not like spiders and I imagine that I would feel the same way looking into a dark recess like the wash house she had to collect the basket from. But my hat comes off to her for taking that first step towards beating the fear.

I don't want to let a bug defeat my desire to have a chance at a better life, so I won't!On that basis, I would suggest that people will emigrate to OZ even if they don't like spiders/snakes because these are things that can be overcome and in comparison to the potential life enhancing move I think worrying about eight legged, creepy crawlies with fangs bigger than my teeth comes low down the list of reasons not to go (I think )....furthermore, I have found that ensuring that a copy of any of the Encyclopedia Britannica is just what is required to squash the problem, so long as it's not so big that it picks it up and starts reading! Now that would worry me...

Night!

PS - does anyone know of a good hypnotherapist?

Re the hating spiders & snakes.... I don't hate them per se, but am distinctly not keen on the idea of poisonous ones biting me.
However, am also not especially keen on miserable grey weather in the UK....

.... which is more likely to affect me day to day?

DrWho

Nah, if it was a huntsman he'd just chuck it back... harder...

Australia (whoever Australia may be), does NOT pay for university education. That is a fact, our son is a university student here. If you qualify, you can apply for HECS (Higher Education Contributory Scheme), but it is a loan that has to be paid back when :- The student graduates and is earning min.$25,000 or, when he/she turns 25, whichever is the first. $25,000 is an extremely low wage, so to have the government take a large percentage out per month will in turn get you into alot of debt. Unless, you still live with parents who can help you. Nothing is free.
