Hi Dawn, we go on the 22nd October from Manchester - getting really nervous now
Sorry to hear you've not had any luck with the house - have you tried using another agent?

We have been here for 3 years - and have qualified for citizenship today!!
Love it here... but we struggle when meeting another brit (which isn't often) its really wierd, run out of conversation in 3 minutes!
With most aussies (there are some exemptions) they seem to ramble enough for you to enjoy the company.
I`m not getting at anyone I hope, just an observation.
Actually our best mates moved from uk to just up the road - we don't really have much in common anymore - shame.
