We are heading to Christchurch NZ.
Going on the work to residence talent visa as Ian has a job offer from his current UK employer :D (We know JAMMY B******!!!)
Medicals on Tuesday :scared:
Agent has the rest of the paperwork and will submit once medicals are ready.
Sold house last week, removal firms quoting 1st & 2nd weeks in Sept!!
Hope to be over there in Nov :cool: :beer:

PS If anyone who is reading this is going to NZ and into motorbikes please talk to my husband because he keeps talking to me about it :zzz:

Hello again, well believe it or believe it not, I once had a moped!. Thats when I was a student nurse.
No gears, just throttle. When you went uphill, folk on bicycles used to overtake!!
When I was 19 (not that long ago I hasten to add),I traded it in for a Yamaha 125 for a year before getting my first car. (2nd hand one of course - I'm a nurse y'no)
Michael & I really want to get a motorbike like Billy Connolly in his Tour of Australia video.
And then, after a hard days work, Michael can collect me like a scene from 'Officer and a Gentleman' and whisk me off into the sunset..........
Him in his white suit (painters dungarees) and me in my sexy nurse outfit (stinkin' of BO with blood & vomit dripping down my silflike figure)

Time to go now, my medications due again.

Hello there Paula,

Jammy B******* right enough! Hope all goes well and you find someone into motorbikes. More of a pushbike person myself (Once in a blue moon!) Are you going for good or just till your hubbies job is finished?

Have fun.

Hi Ginny,

Go back to the UK!????? We might be jammy b******* but we're not STUPID jammy b*******. Ians job is a permanent position :)
The full story is that we had planned to migrate to either OZ OR NZ as independants and when we approached Ians company for references they said they would like to keep him in the company and if they had a suitable position in either their OZ or NZ operations would he be interested.
:PARTY:
As you can imagine we had to think long and hard about this......NOT!!!!!!


We are very lucky but Ian has worked damn hard to get himself so well respected at work that they are prepared to offer him an opportunity like this, after all he is a blue collar engineering tradesman and not a hot shot IT worker.

See ya

Paula :D
