Hi all,

Haven't been on for a while, had no internet, still trying to secure and permanent rental, what a nightmare. Put in an application but now it is just a waiting game.

We went to Hillary's today and the kids went on the big water slides and the beach, they loved it. We met up with the Daxver family who arrived the same day as us. Lovely family.

Picked up my car today, glad we have the 2 now as when David starts work I don't want to be stuck in the house all day(not with my 2 anyway)!

Hope all is going well with everyone else.

Sarah.:D

HERE IS THE UPDATED LIST:

Hi all

Well have been here 4 weeks and was pulled over by the police and given a fine for $150 and 2 points on my licence that i haven't even got yet. :curse:Never been stopped in the uk and have been driving for 22 years.

So if you are driving in a built up area the limit is only 50 km (no signs to tell you) which is not much when you work it back into mph. They also like to hide with the speed gun.

phillip.

We are moving out to Perth on 5th Jan, we are not on any lists! We are currently living in St.Helens and are getting a little nervous about the big step we are about to take. Would love to chat!

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi all. I feel a bit cheeky joining this site as I am returning home to Perth after 11yrs living in the UK, but as it has been so long since I was back there (6mth stint in 2003) and my personal circumstances have changed dramatically I feel as much excitement and trepidation as you all do! :o I know that it will have changed beyond recognition.

My 2 & 1/2 year old daughter and I leave Heathrow on Dec 20th. Flying with Singapore. I'm looking forward to being home for Christmas for the first time in 4 yrs but am quite nervous about my new future. Having experienced all the 'traumas' of moving halfway across the world to the UK, new jobs, housing, friends and the breakdown of my marriage in the past year, I feel that I'm doing this again for the '1st time'!!

I will be living with my mum or one of my brothers until work (teaching) is sorted. Then will move into my house in Duncraig. I would love to be included on the list, I'm sure my British citizenship and British daughter help me to qualify LOL. And yes I will be shouting for England on Saturday, although I wasn't 2 weeks ago!!!

I'm so glad I found this site as it has answered so many questions that I have about my move.

:)Welcome to the site. You must be really excited to be moving back home to your family. :)

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Thanks, and I must admit that I'm am looking forward to having more predictable weather LOL!
I am excited - I have 4 older brothers and it will be the first time in 10yrs that we have all been in Perth at the same time!! One brother lived in the US for 7 yrs, and another has just returned from Vancouver with his family.

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
