Is anyone else heading to the Gold Coast? We are hoping to be there for January but depnds on the house....

Re: OK Lets do it then North West Meet 30th July
Hi everyone, can we come too. Was going to go to O.e. seminar, but i think ive burnt my bridges now with them and if anyone wants 2 free tickets they are more than welcome.
Just pm me your address and ill send them(be quick though!) . I got a pm off someone saying that they had been to one in scotland organised by them and that it was rubbish, and that the person had found out more on this site about removals and money laundering(exchange rates anyway).
Would be great to met you all as we are off in feb 06 and validating in november, and any good excuse for a beer too.
There is me(alan) and clare my fiance, we are off to brisbane area(find this out in november exactly where), we have no kids till we get there and im a barber. Thatll do for now until we meet otherwise we ay as well not come!
Hope theres room.

As for us well no visa yet,no worries it,s only been 18 months
Now the house sale that may be better news.The second viewing went well they really liked it there was no doubt about that.I got the feedback early this week and they said they really like it and it,s the property for them.We like you would have the dream chain they are going to rent there house out so it,s them and us.Our estate agent said he has got to have some sort of survey by the company who is going to rent it out for them then he is going to make an offer.Also it turns out sam is friends with a lady from school who is related through marriage to the family who want ours.When sam met her in the week she said they love our house and they will have it for sure.
So lets see what happens in the week assuming he gets his house sorted for renting and IF he makes an offer i,m happy with, i,m already selling a bargain for the area and i won,t be pushed to far.
I hope it goes well for you Paula this house selling is awful when you,ve so much to look forward to and you stay strong .
dave
ps.looking forward to seeing peter and yourself again next week

Good luck with your second viewing, hope they make an offer, I am so cheeesed off with tidying up for the bloody viewers and then nothing coming of it!! You can bet the one time I dont make an effort and the place is like a tip the viewer will bloody love it!!
I have an auntie and uncle over there but thats it, we arent very close to them but are hoping they willhelp us in the first few weeks, but apart from them we are all alone... Do you have kids?

Hi lol,
Come down the m6 come off at j18.go right at the roundabout at the top of the slip road.Keep on that main road for no more than 1 mile and if you keep looking on your left you will see the salt cellar,i think it,s at a roundabout maybe someone else can confirm that.
