What r u going to do when u get there ?
Hi all
Wondering what everyones plans r for work when they get to oz or nz ?
R many of you planning to do something completely different ?
My hubbie is hoping to work entirely from home. Does this one day a week at the mo, the rest of the time he's commuting to sunny swindon. He has got a couple of contacts to fall back on if the going gets tough though. What bout the rest of you ?

although folk keep looking at me strange when I tell them that. It's like a woman in the 21st century MUST have a career becuase she CAN have a career.
Women's lib gone too far???

I'd rather be at home, although I do work part time. Suppose its his turn now though. If I do go out to work plan to do a few of his 'tricks' e.g say i'll b home at 5.30 and then phone at 5 and say i'm just leavin b back in hour and a half make sure I save that for when he's havin a particularly bad day ! Going off on a tangent here, but goin back to work sounding better and better !

Sleep!
After a 25.5 hour flight with 2 small kids and arriving in Sydney at 6 in the morning I think sleep might just work. We're only validating this time, unfortunately, but when we finally move hope to have a couple of weeks to chill out then start working!

I'm not going to work for as long as I can hold off, then a career change is called for. I have been in IT for 20 years. I'll probably buy a property to rent out & if thats a success get another one or two. Living in the UK I have over 80% equity and a huge mortgage. In Australia, no mortgage, no need to work & lots of $$$ in the bank! The only downer is the exchange rate, I lose $5000 for every cent less the pound buys. This wont stop me from going though.
