I did try to explain but I don't think she got it. Bless her!

Oh you've just got to love nana's

they're the best things ever invented.

If all else fails just pack a bag & tell immigration Nadia sent you, then blame the BBC for false advertising when they huckle you away

Re: Wanted Down Under

We are watching one on Sky + right now! My favourite bit is every time Nadia says, "if you have one of these skills you too could be fast tracked to a new life Down Under".
Now, if one of you could just point me in the direction of the fast track I'll cancel Vetassess and ring Immigration with my flight details.

I was also under the impression that if you went on a holiday visa which I would presume they had, then you are not actually allowed to work in Oz. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that a working holiday visa was different.

Totally agree, they were so entertaining, "fail to plan, plan to fail".
Really wished they would repeat the New Life Down Under shows or do a re-visited one.

Re: Wanted Down Under

Very well cut and pasted

. Most of the families in the first series either had their Visa's or were very close and were going through the ups and the downs. 11 or 12 from the first series i think have actually made the move.
