Hi both mental health nurses. Neil currently works with Addiction Services (Alcohol). I'm in General Adult Psychiatry(secure). Good to hear that.

Lot of people with manual trades take a few weeks to get sorted out.

He may have to be the house husband while you work.

Hi Ann,
I think you are probably right, maybe wishful thinking on my part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont even have the excuse of registration, as that has already come through!!!! Never mind, Thanks for your advice, Jackie

We are Ian (IT Project Manager), Becki (Veterinary Nurse), Jake (3) and Charlotte (1).

My OH (also an Ian) is an Oracle specialist- mainly big data warehousing stuff for banks in the city. I used to be a Sybase DBA before kids but have retrained to get a PGCE for post 16 teaching of IT. Not really sure what finding work will be like, Oracle is now back on the modl list (typical just as we got our visa). Fortunately we did well out of the IT boom here so just looking for a comfortable income out in Oz.

Yes I know Counthill, Where are you up too with visas and who is going with you? There is just myself and OH and we have received visas and are waiting to sell our house before hopefully going to Oz in July/August. Not much to stay here for in Oldham is there although I will miss family and friends.

LOL...was going to find you a bricklayer link but see you are already on to it...

there's also http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...ht=bricklayers

and

Like I said before you should still be fine as you will get a job easy while he sorts his side out. Where I work they can't get enough nurses to apply for jobs as it is outside the main city and everyone wants to be in the city hospitals.

We are gathering evidence for the subclass 151 special migration (lived there as a kid). Where are you headed? My Dad is living in Sydney at the moment but I grew up in Melbourne and have friends there so I'm tied between the two.
Agree with you - nothing to miss in Oldham except family (Mum lives here).

We are off to Sunshine coast/Brisbane - we have family on SC but feel we may struggle with jobs. OH works in insurance and at the moment I am working at Beever school (Oldham) as a classroom assistant but have heard it is difficult to get a job over there helping in schools so I am keeping my options open. looks like you have a difficult decision, OH has family in Melbourne and we liked it when we visited although we found it quite cold in August, Sydney is a fabulous city although we didn't get to see any of the suburbs.
