New-ish in Sydney...
Well, having read and responded on some of the threads, here's my intro bit...
DH (40), DD (9months) and I (36) have been in Sydney since November 12th. We were transferred over by DH's company (thankfully) but had been working towards doing it ourselves. We went via a migration agent and started the ball rolling in October 2001, details were submitted early 2002, and visas granted March 2003. Validation trip was May 2003, and miscarriage too. Got pregnant in July 2003 and flew nowhere! (didn't even jump up and down!). Maternity leave was decluttering the house. Late September/early October 2004 DH and company were in discussion. 23rd October decision confirmed by company, and expectation that DH would work till flight on 11th Nov and start again in Aus on Monday 14th. Currently have house rented out in UK, and are living in 3 bed unit on North Shore. Trying to work out the new mother, new country, new home, no furniture (that arrives Monday next week), no friends, no family... well - that's not totally true - I chat to everyone I meet (which might account for the few friends!!!!). DH has distant relatives in South Sydney. Hadn't found this website when in England (what a bu!**!! - it would have been most useful to chat with you all) and only now found it when out here. Comments, advice, suggestions etc would all be very much appreciated... regards G :) |

Re: New-ish in Sydney...
Many thanks for the responses... it's good to know about the meeting - all being well, we'll be there (me plus wee one, if not all three of us!)
As for at least knowing my own name, well it's about the only thing at times - I am known to mix up DD's and DH's!! ttfn teagg/G |
