Sorry if I upset anyone, but I thought it was really funny that someone who was a secretary (though 'more of a PA'), could have written that paragraph and then seriously suppose that they would be in demand for their skills in Australia!

I made a great start to this site giving my opinion on people in general but at least I didn't criticise one poor innocent person directly.
IMHO anyone who works in health care anywhere should be respected for what they do.

And I bet you are a genius are you?
It is people like you that are forcing a lot of people not to bother posting anymore.
Hence people missing out on valuable advice.
Lighten up!!!!!!!!!

thanks, couldn't believe we were only five points short, i was wondering if we were to invest most of our house sale would that boost it up. i need a clear head to read through all the websites best doing it at weekend when i haven't been to work.
one consultant did say we would be better getting my uncle to sponsor us, but people tell me it is very long winding, my parents have died, i believe i would have to get my mums birth cert/death cert etc for proof of relationship and it goes on and on, but if thats the only way then i think i will have to be patient and get on with it.

Again I have answered this in your other thread. We too were 5 points short, We were advised by our immigration consultant to take the STNI route.
Took us 5 months to obtain.
No relatives need sponsor you, No bond required, No extra money required to be paid.
May suit your needs as it did us.
Cheers.

Thanks for your comments, and I am sorry I upset you but it wasn't aimed at yourself
But just thought I would mention that this site, was meant to be helpful and not meant to be a grammar test
Sorry again to everyone else I didnt mean to cause offence to the very nice people on this site.
Very original by the way did you think of that all on your own? and within 24 hours.
Kent eh

Checking the times of these posts' I don't think did I manage it within 24 hrs, even though I took the whole day off work for it.
I'm just a chippy you see...not even enough wit to be a proper half-wit.
Yes, Kent indeed. You?
