Yes, that sounds like my husbands list, doesn't mean that there aren't one hundred other things to do, just that the women will worry about it all

Can I ask what a CBA Migrant account is? I was just planning to transfer the money from uk account to Oz account. Is that the wrong thing to do?

I applied for a migrant account from the Commonwealth (CBA) and they have opened an account in London and one in Sydney. Once I place the funds in the London one and instruct them, they will transfer the funds to my Sydney one in A$ at their exchange rate + £15 fee.
