Default Finally off to Brisbane!!!

Hi All

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

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

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

Thanks - no doubt they will be some good tales to tell - especially as I can't find my way round Manchester ............. and I have been here 10 years LOL

Good luck. Hopefully meet up with you one day when I eventually get there.

Oh, and by the way, if it makes you feel any better I have had my visa since last May

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
