Just started the ball rolling!
Well, finally made a decision,
thought 'stuff it' gone with global visas,
I didnt want the hassle of doing everything myself, and they've been great on the phone / in person.
doing a defacto for the missus, and skilled for myself, so the fees for both of us weren't too bad, and there only seems a few hundred between different companies anyway.
what made me get of my bum?
it's uncanny, within a fortnight I had my car keyed,
........global visas rang out of the blue, i forgot to ring them back
I had my car vandalised - someone scratched martyn + hannah 4 inches high down the side
........i forgot to ring global visas back
I had my car broken into and a grands worth of stereo nicked
.........i got the hint and called global visas
so, my credit card is now maxed out and i've got the ball rolling :-)

Welcom to the mad house.....Its funny how one little thing can finally push you . My car is always keyed, but what really raises my heckles is when I get home from work in the evening there is nowhere to park.
I know I live in a city, but my neighbour, the tosser, has 3 transit vans and always manages to park 3 in arow, starting from his gate.
Drives me mad!!

As Sandra has said...Welcome.
You're now on a slow escalator to Australia. Just keep smiling because sometimes various officials keep pressing that stop button which resides at each end of the escalator. You just hope someone comes along and presses the start again
Fortunately you'll have alot of help from the members of the forum and if times do seem hard along the way...just post something and someone will cheer you up.
Rememeber it will all be worth it! Best of luck.
regards
