Hi All

Just wanted to say we are FINALLY flying on the 7th Nov to Oz (any1 flying that day with Cathay Pacific ?) :beer:

We actually got our visas back in May - just took us all this time to sell the house :eek:

Anyway, we were wondering if anyone knows of any meet-ups in brisbane for Nov as we would love to get out and about and meet people straight away !!!

Thanks guys !

Love Mandy n' Stu x :)

Have a safe journey, we have lived in the Northern Suburbs just over 2 years - after emigrating from Warrington. Let me know if I can help you with anything??

Yes unfortunately. Been on the market since February but have only had about 8 viewings. Have been trying to get the whole house decorated to brighten it up a bit, for some time now.

Although it is hard with 3 kids and work to find the time. So, although I have changed agents back in August I havent been able to have anybody round in that time (apart from a friend who was interested), because the house is upside down :( .

Hopefully I will get it finished one day and then sell it :rolleyes:
