Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi Guys, Just checking in as I havent been on for a while. I'm already on thelist but cant get it to open so dont know if my flight details are on there - if not we fly out of Glasgow on Oct 1st with Emirates and touch down in Perth on o2 Oct. Cant Wait!!!!!!!1

Although, have been having quite a few wobbly moments recently and crying at the slightest thing - I am definately committed to starting a new life and cant understand why i'm so emotional - please tell me this is normal!!! Have been living with the in laws for 5 weeks now and another 8 to go so trying to put it down to that- ha ha - also worried about financial side of things but then I suppose everyone is but we aint going with very much - Anyway will stop mumping now and start getting excited again - till next time I have a moment anyway!!

Thanks for putting up with that little rant

Hi there,

I would like to be added to the list, please.

There's Kevin, Fibrous Plasterer (40), Janine, housewife (31), Hannah (6) and Tom (4).

We have just bought some land in Jindalee, which is Northern suburbs. Completion is set for Monday 6 August.

We'll be flying out as soon as our house here is finished (undergoing major renovation work) and sold.

So hopefully be out there by October/November.:thumbsup:

Janine

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Well done Janine Welcome To A Life Of New Adventuressssss

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Yes - it's cos you're living with the in-laws! :rofl:

I'm pretty edgy myself at the moment and putting it down to stress.

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Thanks. Can't really think about it at the moment. Got so many adventures going on here at the mo!

Janine

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Welcome to Wooders and KevinJanine,

The list is getting massive! Can't wait to get there!

Sarah

HERE'S THE LIST:

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi Michelle,

Yes your dates on on the list, time is getting closer. I still think I should be doing more stuff, I think we are not panicking as my brother is going to live here and if it aint done it won't matter (thats what I keep telling myself).

Keep our chin up. I don't envy the living with the in-laws! Escpecially for that long, never mind you will soon be half way round the world! Yay!!!!!
Having a barbecue in Kings Park with the sun shining(I hope so).

Sarah.

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List

You make me feel a bit better as your situation is so like mine.

I wobble all the time, and feel soooo stressed :eek:! and I cry, but don't know why. OH and I are both so up for this new life and I can't wait. It just can't come fast enough now.

From all the posts I have read these emotions seem normal, but so hard for outsiders to understand. We have 11 weeks left to go

We have been living with my Dad for about 18mths now with all our life in storage, and I'm sure thats taking its toll, especially as he has buried his head in the sand and will not talk about our move, and keeps insisting he knows nothing about it and that we do not talk to him about it. Don't know quite how I get around this one. It's even harder as he is 82.

We are also struggling with the financial side of things and not going with a lot, so that adds stress also. We have worked out the minimal we need to take, and are trying to pull it in from wherever possible.

See a rant always pays off, you get to know your not the only one loosing the plot.

Take care, chin up

Mark(46), Rose(45) & Becky (17 with attitude)

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

we are renting a furnished holiday let for 3 weeks on Rockingham Beach when we get there on 27th august.... will let you now what it is like.... we have Faith 17 with attidtude (aka Kevin).... perhaps we should put them in touch with each other so they can have door slamming competitions?

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List

Its outof season so cheaper in August and they offer a discount for more than so many weeks, the girl renting it out appears really laid back... they even include kids bikes and boogy boards ..... Is your stopster not wanting to immigrate ? ours hates us becasue we are making her leave everything she knows and loves....

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Sorry to hijack the thread, could you pm me the details?

Thanks

Nic

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi Mark & Rose,

Have included your details on the list :thumbup: Have got ?????? for jobs though so I don't know whether you want to include them?

Just noticed you are actually older than us :thumbsup: Makes me feel young again :p ;)

What Visa have you got? We had to get STNI Visa because of our age(short on points!)and were worried that if we failed on our first attempt we'd be cutting it a bit fine going for a second attempt :unsure:

Cheers,

Chris :)

Here is the updated list:
Update includes: marknrose details

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

You could try John & Eve at emi-great.com - We've got a furnished rental with them for 5 weeks for when we arrive on the 28th August - They also pick you up at the airport, supply a welcome basket, take you for a tour around the area and help get you registered for a Tax file number and with Medicare. They can also supply a rental car and if you want they can have a phone/PC/Internet setup for you in the rental.

hi, yes an oldie but not wrinkly yet. have perm res visa (skilled sponsored 139) applied just before 45, received last september, taken alsmost a year to sort out odds and ends. Used to live in MK (bradville)!

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi Mark, how long have you been up in Rochester then? Was it a job move? We like MK, but it's not for everyone, too concrete jungle for some people :unsure: Have you got the Visa on your skills or OH's. Unfortunately my skills count for sweet FA in Aus! :ohmy:

All the best,

Chris

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Thanks Sonja and Sarah(MadChef)

Its good to know that there are others in the same situation, feeling better about it all today and just want to be there now, but its only 8 weeks (and 10 working days - saying that always makes me feel better!!!) to go and we'll be just in time for the good weather starting - so if we cant afford anything we can sleep on the beach!!

Thanks guys
