.........or early August??
I am sick of this weather and have been googling a weeks holiday for me and 2 kids for one week during summer holidays. The prices are astronomical :curse: I got to thinking ......................................... if i have to pay that amount of money for ONE week hol maybe i should just head off to Oz and finish off my reccie that was ruined at easter??? I have somewhere to stay so wouldonly have to pay for flights and spending money. what you think? irresponsible (should be saving dosh for visa) ??? or sensible - good opportunity to make some plans.
What are the logistics etc regarding my visa grant?? i am 136 MODL and believe i have to be out of the country when it is granted?
MMMMmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!!!! now i got to thinking!

I so know what you mean about the cost of holidays. We were going to go to Majorca, but when we decided we wanted to go to Oz, found it was cheaper to fly to Sydney for two weeks. OK we haven't got to pay for accommodation, but Sydney or Majorca???? Think we made the right decision!

i am so close to booking it - BUT am i being a bit extravagant or irresponsible LOL
I NEEEEEEEEEEED to be in Oz

Irresponsible is my middle name, go on line and book it, just remember what most of us are already doing, leaving good payed jobs and arriving in a new country with no income, selling our houses and having no where to live, leaving the people who love and care for us. You have already taken the step that many people would only dream of. Go the whole hog, book it, pack it and F**K off and worry about it later.

Holey crap don't remind me! I poo myself everytime I think about what we're doing!!!! I guess I've kinda put the no where to live, no income thing out of my mind.

I say go for it daunted!!

Kerry

yeah i am thinking along those lines too!!
i went out at easter fora reccie which was totally ruined (long story buried on another thread somewhere) so realistically this could be a good move with regard to checking out Bunbury where i am drawn to but never been and check out uni and housing etc etc have i justified the expense yet LOL
cheapest flights i can find are £940!!!!!!!!! that sounds pretty steep to me what you think??????????

Get gone I wish I could come with you will have to wait til September and go there for good lol

ooooooh i will miss the meet!!!!!!!!
on serious note will i have to inform diac that i will be in oz as i applying off shore

Sounds expensive, how many are flying?

By the way i am reading a life coaching book by Fiona Harrold and can not be held responsible for my pushy but motivating threads, i am either brain washed or 'inspired'

minibelle

Have you done it yet? Go for it!

Nic

we will go for inspired hey mini
its for me and my 2 kids (who have to go as adults :curse ages 14 & 12. i thought it expensive too considerin it was only £657 to go at easter which was at least australia autumn as oppose to winter

Nah - not yet! still lookig to see if i can get flights for £2k max

We justified our trip to ourselves as a "legitimate moving expense"... same as visa fees, removals etc etc....

Would be better to have at least an idea of the area you're going to. Depends a lot on your personal finances whether that £1000 will make that much of a difference in the whole scheme of things.

Sounds like you have already decided anyway

Just seen that that £1000 was for one ticket..... Lot of money if you have to buy 3!

Keep searching you should find something cheaper

Good luck. I am so jealous
