Hello
Hi Everyone!
Have been reading the messages for the last few days. registered today! Just getting together our application for migration to Aus. (skilled visa) and already have picked up loads of good advice & Vibes. Cannot get over the mamoth task ahead of us to collate all the info they are requesting! and shudder to think of all the sorting out if we ever get accepted. Hubby lived in Adelaide as a kid and has always wanted to go back, l myself have never been - dunno if l am adventrous or just plain crazy. Our three kids (all teenagers) are buzzin about it all.
Please tell me l am not too crazy. Even if l have loads of messages telling l am. I still have nothing to loose and everything to gain (l think
)

Hi Jigsaw,
Welcome to the forum
Put all the pieces together and you'll be made up
Keep those teens buzzin - it will make a big difference.
Don't want to swap 2 for 3 by any chance ?

Re: Hello
Hi, Robert and Louisa here,
Just had to drop you a line coz we left sunny Parkstone last July and now live in even sunnier Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast. I can`t begin to tell you guys how much we miss Poole. If only we had a New Look and Marks here, life would be much better. We all yearn fo a big brekkie in Littlewoods cafe. How sad is that. We love it here, but work is a real problem. I don`t know about the rest of Oz, but up here it is really difficult to find work, unless you are in the hospitality trade. I have apllied for so many jobs, and the companies can`t even be bothered get back to you. Never mind, I am sure something will turn up. None of us (wife and 3 kids aged 10,15,18) wants to come back to good old Parkstone, and the kids definately don`t want to go back to Poole High. I am hearing really bad reports about their old school, do you know anything. Try and keep in touch wit us if you can or want to, coz it would be great to hear from people who lived where you did. Have a drink down the Quay for us next time you are there. Take care

Hi Robert and Loiusa
Good to hear you have all settled down O.K. Bit worrying about the job situ though! We live in Chester, which is quite away form your home town Poole. Nothing major can be happen down there though, not on the news or papers. Sorry have not got any goss for you. Going to have a beer for you tonight down our local instead (will have two seeing hows your a couple). Keep in touch, will be picking your brains in a few months time.
Take Care

Hi Louisa, Robert and kids!
well fancy that someone from good old Parkstone! We live in Lincoln Road, whereabouts were you? Did you have a property to sell? who did you sell through? i work for Mann Countrywide but am on the market with Wilson Gale too!
Not too sure about Poole High, although KempWelch seems to have turned around abit!
Last week there was someone holed up in Haskells Road, held his ex hostage for 2 days, then she escaped and he stayed there for a further 2 days before killing himself with a double barrel shotgun!! So i can't imagine why you are missing Parkstone!!
The weather here is shite, really grey and overcast, not to mention the rain!
We are heading for Brisbane, hubby is a plasterer, what is it you do?
What school did your 10 year old go to?
keep in touch and pm me if you like
kind regards
