Hi Joe,
We're off to Brisbane although not sure of which burb we'll settle in there. Been for a short trip before and it felt like home. Was actually homesick coming back to the UK for about 5 months which was kind of strange...Never mind this time it's for keeps! What about you guys...what's your story?
Cheers

Hi Ginny
Not sure yet, havent decided between Brisbane and Perth, although i'm favouring Brisbane at the moment. Enjoyed both when we went on hols but living theres different. Hopefully going back at the end of the year to have good look around at suburbs etc. We are still at the beginning, hopefully have our TRA sent off this week. OH is a carpenter/ joiner so it'll have to be where theres plenty of work.

Good Luck with your move Ginny. I'm sure it will all go fine. It'll be over before you know it !!
I know what you mean about getting organised. I don't know where to start. Of course I don't even know when we are going yet, but feel that if I don't start doing something soon, I may run out of time.
I think I'll have a beer, cos the panic is setting in :scared:

Just wanted to say good luck with TRA assessment. My hubby is carpenter/joiner too and we are hoping to submit ours end of next week/beginnig of following week. Seems to be taking forever getting the info together. Hopefully it'll be worth it.
Good luck anyway.

Good luck with yours too. We've been on it for nearly 4 months now. People keep saying they will get the refs done and then you have to ring half a dozen times to chase them up. Where you planning on going?

It was hard work, but it only took 3 months to do all of them from him leaving school.
