Hi Wendy

Done most of them myself and just got them to sign. The one we are waiting for now is from a bloke Mark worked with when he was an apprentice 20 odd years ago, I typed it out and he was supposed to be printing it on his letterhead that was about 4 weeks ago!! Marks been on to them again today and they have promised to get it done straight away!! That should be it then, just need to get everything certified.

Good luck anyway.

Good luck with everything. Once you are there you will wonder what all the panic was about. Keep your chin up and have a great time in Aus. Looking forward to reading your threads from Brissie.

Good luck.

Joex

Hi Joe

We are hoping to head to Brisbane.

Hubby is just putting the finishing touches to his employers ref and he'll take it in tomorrow for signing. He has already asked the guy to read it and sign it and he has said it would be no problem.

Hoping to do the same for his previous employer too so it should just be a case of them reading it and signing it - well that's the theory anyway.

Just booked the solicitors today for certifying of docs then hopefully book the courier for next Wed - we're heading off on hols next Thursday so hoping to get everything done and dusted for TRA before we go.

Hope you get your refs okay.
