Hi Phillip,
We are going with Letton, will save over £400 which is a lot. How come your excess is £250? I was only quoted £100. Still got bits and pieces to do, waiting for Westpac to set up our new accounts. Got to finish our insurance inventory, how hard is it to put a price on the kids toys, dvd's etc? David has been looking into Chef jobs so hopefully he won't be under my feet for long! Haha. Sarah The excess is £100 or 1% of total value of the goods that you want to cover, so we have 25K which make it £250 excess so they said. phillip. |

Know what you mean about husbands under your feet. Brad is hoping for between 4 and 6 weeks off!!! I hope not! Hopefully he will get a job within a couple of weeks and be out of my hair.
Changing the subject completely...does anyone know the definite rules on UK car seats? Cameron has a seat that will take her until she is 11 but I have been reading somewhere that if you use anything other than an Oz car seat it will invalidate your insurance. Also there is the hassle of taking it on the plane!! It would be handy if anyone knows as it could become a pain - car seat to and from the airports and if we get a car as well. Thanks Louise:confused: |

Thanks Louise:confused: As far as I know uk car seats are okay. We took our kids seats to Oz last year and used them in mixture of hired cars and friends cars. Nobody mentioned problems with using uk car seats, and we did meet a few families with uk roots. As for taking them on the plane, we put them on through with suit cases as extra baggage, as you would with taking a pram, and there was no extra cost. Something else to carry, but no hassle. Ian |

Thanks Louise:confused: I am going to send my better car seats on the boat and take my 2 cheap booster seats in a holdall on the plane. I read on another forum about the fact that you couldn't use your uk car seats in Oz(they have to have the australian kite mark on them). They did say it would invalidate your insurance. I think I am just going to play dumb as there is no way I am hiring car seats to the cost of more than to buy one! Sarah:) Sarah. |
Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
thanks for that
I'll probably do the same. Crown advised family send over by post, as she said that was the only way! As long as i declare it and it unopened, whats the worst they can do? ARGH!:o |

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
Sorry folks, my last mail was about the marmite thing!
Phillip is jumping around the room chanting about the exchange rate going up!!!!! Got parents coming over to stay for last time, it doesn't seem real that in a months time we will be in Australia!:ohmy: So many emotions running around this house at the moment, seeing friends for the last time! Trying to sort out cases at the moment, we all have one each and are starting to put things in that we won't be able to live without for 6-8 weeks. Don't know where to start today, the lists don't seem to be lessening! Bye for now sharon |
