Cheers Pauline ps hope to see you at the next meet |

Re: PR! ... the decision is in!
Well done!
Followed your story over the years. In terms of enthusiasm alone, I reckon that the Australian government needs people like you more than any other. |

Ooh, she's gonna be sore and sweaty poor thing. You'll all have to look after her well. Hey, I've just remembered, it's Mothers Day tomorrow, so breakfast in bed and a picnic on the boat, if Nic can get in it of course.:D
Breakfast in bed isn't a prob, but I don't think she'll go in the boat, what if it sinks! ... :eek:

Re: PR! ... the decision is in!
Paul, I think it would be great if you could put your full story in the Update Forum. Then people could see what a tough route this can be. I would enjoy reading it too - I'm sure everybody would as you have a great style.
You wouldn't have to do it all in one go - just start at the beginning and write a section every so often when you had the time. Go on, you know you're a BE legend!:thumbsup: |

Gutted though eh about the sparky and plumber thing :( - back to the drawing board? Yeah well as I say I was considering the army as you can do an apprenticeship in electrical over 2 years (norm 4) and as long as a PR they'll get you citizenship in 3 months! ... handy! Would be 80 days on me own in Victoria, then 12 - 18 months in NSW somewhere! I phoned the hotline number earlier and they said family can relocate, even get a job with them! ... but only recently see the 6 year tie in ... and the idea's gone flat now ... :( Yes sir! ... Sargent major Sir!!! ... :lol: |
