Hi Paddy
Would you believe me if i said it was just a typo error? And sure now as long as the first and last letter are the same its readable- look up the research on it by cambridge.
to be sure, to be sure!!!

Lisa, have you applied for a visa yet or doing the trip first, to see how you feel?
Have you been to Aus before?
Where are you thinking of heading?

Re: hello everyone
 
Holiday first and looking at Adelaide, Brisbane and NSW. We are not brave enough to just head over and leave our jobs!

Hello Bussy- Bee
For some unknown reason my reply did not appear so here goes again. We are looking at Adelaide, Brisbane, NSW. Partner is in building services (has a Beng) but from our discussions at the London Expo (which was crap) we were informed that his kind of work is not readily available.

I am a nurse (who needs to watch her typing skills!) and I love my Job in the UK so OZ would need to be amazing in order for me to consider moving. We will find out in March 2011.

Hi Lisa, welcome to BE!

Have you decided on any of the areas you mentioned for your holiday next year or are you going to try and cram them all in? We were over for three weeks in 2007 and managed to see Cairns, a bit of Melbourne and Sydney as well as spend time with family...and decided on Sydney :D

Well now I am confused!
You get blue boxes when someone adds to your reputation by giving you karma!
You do have to spread the love though Paddy so perhaps you need to sow your seed more widely!;)

Nurses could probably find ample work almost anywhere in Australia. I know several here. For building services you may wish to consider Melbourne which currently has the most building starts in the country.

I sold my BP shares but can't seem to trick the system into buying them twice and hitting negative karma again. It's a hobby ...

Hi Paddy
It was all meant in good jest!! Agreed???? Now my syringe aim is pretty good, and I can give an excellent enema as well- I even warm the bottles up.
