lol no Tas aint that bad, Im just not coping very well being so far away from my family. Need to go back to get my head sorted. We have 3 years left on the visas so we are never saying never. I have learnt that the grass isnt greener, same shit just different country. Also been finding it really hard to live on the crap wages here compaired to the cost of shopping etc.
Tell me about it. Been here for over 6 months and our house has not sold. Wifey is stuck there in the UK trying to sell it. She has been out twice to Tassie but its getting harder every time she leaves. And now my oldest son was rushed to hospital with spontaneous pneumothorax or lung collapse. Still the hospiatl was spot on and fast in seeing him and helping. Cost of living has rocketed here but same every where i guess. But prices of food is just shocking. Tassie is beautiful mind you and i love it here. But bloody hell its hard some days. Now my rental is up for sale and i have to look for some place. Arrrgggghhhh. |

Tassie seems to have this magical spell over us and we keep being drawn to it!!!! Hope your son is ok after his lung collased :eek: My biggest worry in Tas is being told to move out of rental due to house being sold.......and we won't be in a position to buy our own house for a good few years!!! Take care and hope things fall into place for you, Beth x x :wub: |
Re: Tasmania??
Totally understand your reasons for returning to the UK Corinne :wub:
Hope things work out for you hun!!!! We are having doubts about emigrating (again!!!) due to surviving on Andrew's pay out there.......oh and seeing a huntsman :eek: Trying to weigh up all the pros and cons today........the fact we still haven't sold our house isn't filling us with confidence about ever moving to Tas :thumbdown: I think we'd get child benefit in Tas and maybe even some form of child tax credit. Andrew's job will pay $75,000 pa. Really wish I had some def figures to play with!!!! Beth x x :wub: |
Re: Tasmania??
Hiya thanks for the kind words.
£75K should do you well i recon. I get way less than that and have 2 big boys with them eating like horses and i can get by. But having to move to another rental is a pain because of the cost. All my utility accounts and driving license etc all has to be changed. The worry is i may have to move again and again. Grrrrr. I would not worry about huntsman spiders as they are just big an harmless. One of my work mates has one in her bedroom and has a pet name for it. It keeps all the other spiders away. Not actually seen one in the flesh yet or snakes even. Seen plenty big ants, and boy they are big. Nearly stood on one the other week. Big they are, did i say they were big. An inch long almost. Very agressive and sting you if they can. Not worried at all about them at all. Hope it all goes good for you. :thumbsup: |

I won't be working with the little one at home, so we have to manage on Andrew's wage for quite a while. Can't imagine an inch long ant :blink: but the huntsman is my biggest fear!!!!

Beth x x :wub: I know Andy's potentially looking at earning more than $20,000 less than that in his trade (his hourly rate will be half of what he earns in the UK - and we're not overly worried about managing at the moment.... not yet anyway! :lol: |

Well you just missed the fun and games in my house!!!!! I was putting a few clothes on the radiator to dry in my dining room........something made me look up........and there it was......right above me, staring with it's beady eyes......a huge black spider!!!!! :eek: Me being the chicken shit I am with spiders......run out of the room, told the girls to press pause on the Wii and get here NOW!!!! I grabbed my Dyson......pulled out the long hose.....and gave it to my 12 year old to suck up....LOL......telling her to make sure she doesn't miss first time!!! Made my 11 year old check it hadn't fallen onto the floor then!!!! and to check behind the door etc etc. Bit paranoid as I can't see it in the Dyson box, so made the girls look up the hose to be sure he wasn't clinging on for dear life still :eek: My 12 year old just told me that a huntsman wouldn't fit in the hose to be sucked up.........gee thanks babe!!!!!! Great start to my day!!!! :eek: Really don't know if I would cope with the Ozzie spiders now!!!! Beth x x :wub: |
