Hi everyone,
Was wondering if there was anyone moving to australia in june...If so then how are the plans going because it seems like i've got a list as long as my arm to sort out still

My hubby is flying out end of april, so i need to get everything sorted before he goes... I'm so stressed

It would be nice to hear from you all (if theres anyone)

Hi Claire,

I'm flying out on June 26th to Perth. Re my plans as I'm going on my own it's not too bad. Flight is organised, had quotes from removals and just about to decide on that, cancelled my Internet (had to give 3 months notice), still have to tell the Inland Rev but will do that nearer the time and don't have a house to sell\rent or a car anymore.

I'm currently in the process of selling things that I'm not taking. Will probably clean my bike, tent etc over Easter.

What other things do you have to do?.. arranging the removals is probably my biggest thing left.

Cheers

Kevin

We to are moving in June. Havent booked flights yet but house completes on 19th of June. Going to fly before 30th June when prices go up. Have loads to sort out!
Trying to do it one thing at a time but still getting stresed.
Very worried about jobs. Think we must be mad going at this time with no job and not much money but waited 2yrs to sell house so not backing out now its sold!

Yeah worried about the job situation too as survival in oz depends on it. Still gotta give it a go.. either way I've got to validate in June anyway.

Hi Kevin,
It feels like i've got loads to do. I've had a few quotes to pack/move are stuff but nobody is jumping out at me and i always go with my gut instinct.

I've heard u have to take your medical notes with u?? is that true??
We're going to do the same clean bikes, tents ect this week as the children are off. so they can get there hands dirty as well.

Like i've said before rich (hubby) is going out first so i need everything organized this end before he leaves. So its just little things really like paper work, telling people we're leaving... yes i've not told anyone yet, haven't found the right time.
Good luck and i hope oz brings u everything you hoped it would

Hiya
Wow! Small world!
Yes I'm going on my own. Don't know much about Brissie- maybe you can let me know what it is like!

scampie

Hi all

we are also planning to clean bikes and camping stuff at easter how bizarre we are all planning the same things? and how come you haven't told people you are going yet?

Hi Jo,
We've got to be there before the 14th july so thats why we're going out there end of june. The prices for flights just keep going up, so if anyone on here gets a bargain then please forward to all us june's lol.

Its the only time i'm going to get it all clean all that stuff because i've got 2 weeks off and the children can help
Are u flying on your own??
I've not told anyone yet because i can't find the right words.... i'm worried everyones going to be negative about it all. I come from a very close family that don't like change.

Claire

Some days I'm so excited want to tell everybody i meet ha ha
other days not sure we are doing the right thing but i guess its just normal.

Family being a complete pain my mother still wont talk about it. We have said end of aug but with house completes 19th june we think why wait as we will have no where to live but my mother having a fit coz we are going sooner but she is still not saying live with us to you go!

Iando

We (2 + 2 pre-school boys) are going 1st week of June to Brisbane - all booked but manic amount still to do!

Kryptonix

Yep likewise good luck to you and everyone else going out there at this time.

I'm taking my dental and doctors records with me, not sure if it's true but it can't hurt.

So easter is bike cleaning for a fair few of us by the sounds of it

I would tell people sooner rather than later, it'll be a weight off your mind. The longer you leave it the worse you'll feel.. hope they take the news well when you tell them.
