Beccie

Flyaway hope you've heard something from you higher offer

Baby75

Man i really hope they have them all waiting there in a nice pile to go for the end of June

Nic hope its well and truly sorted with the house good luck you so deserve some now

same goes for every one else waiting on huse and visa

mary1967

Did you accept?


At the moment i just feel like going to Oz is a distant dream..........all the excitment has gone, i don't even check the online status anymore

If we ever get the visa in this lifetime, i think we may end up renting the house out as well - I guess it depends on whether OH can get a job before we leave and how much house prices are in Perth - If they've dropped then we could reduce quite a bit on our house, but it's all up in the air until the bloody visa comes through:curse:

Seems so strange whenever i see your name appear knowing you're in Oz

Hope things are going ok for you all - At least you know when the visa comes through your OH can get work. Are you looking to rent when your friends come back off honeymoon?

Baby75

Yea we will be house sitting on till they come back off thier honey moon we have a house to go to already so im chuffed with that now its get ready for baby and pray they have all our visa before september at the very latest
looks like he will be able to just walk in to a job they are screaming out for welders here and I thought it might be a little harder being on the sunshine coast but no there is work out there if you want it so thats very good

im enjoying exploring all the shops and super markets so ill get a basic price comparission going just need a bit of reserch now LOL

I hope you had a lovely holiday. It's good to have your mind off this "visa processing not moving" for a while. I guess we are all tired of waiting

If they really want your house they will come back! Keeping for that!!

Yep I've began worrying if it will even come through until our 3months is up in beginning of November And I am dec applicant

Haa, that would be great if there would be a big bang on visas on first week of July This has messed up everyones plans and I don't think they realize that It really puts you down when you have no idea when they will move on. Without the August backlog atleast in principal you knew the timeline. Now I think everyone is just clueless of when things will move on. :curse: Goog luck with the house and let us know what happened was yesterday the deadline?

Great news and good to see you! Hope all is well with kids and bub My hubbys got three interviews also. One said no, one asked for references already and one interview coming. Let's see what happens, but when we get there and he can go to interview and if he should get an job offer they could sponsor him a 457 visa if I've understud correctly? Maybe they could sponsor your DH also while waiting for PR? Not sure about this though...

No offers then Kate? Might be sensible thing just to let it and wait for the market to cheer up a bit. Whatever you decide keeping

Thanks Beccie,

No news so we accepted the lower offer - just have to hope the higher offer comes back now... we will go slow on the sale and hope. Sh!t, I thought I'd be happy on this day and not stressed.

I'm so fed up it's unreal. GET A MOVE ON DIAC!!!!

Thanks Niamh - still in limbo but at least we know we have sold the house and can start sorting all the stuff out without fear of viewings all the time. (13 months is a long time to keep your house clean and I am going to live in mess and dirt and bloomin enjoy it!!!)

Let's hope they do just grant all the Augusts and Novembers in one big lump in July. Then it's not long until they get to us.

Morning Mary!

I think the market has dropped all it is going to drop now. It will stay depressed for a while, but people HAVE to move, so things will tick along and if there are no scare stories then it will stay that way. Fingers crossed you can all sell soon

jimandkate

OMG we gave up on the house we are in the middle of a dead end street with no passing trade so our agent put a sign up at the end of the road just so that you could see that a house is up and some old ****** complained even though the sign is not in anyones way or bothering anyone they have demanded the sign to be taken down **** off lowering the neighbourhood who really cares about a sign Someone with nothing else to do with there time wish that was all I had to worry about good mind to find her and show her where I would love to shove the sign Kate

Fly Away

OMG, how petty!!!!!! Do you know who it is? Can you go round with some flowers and apolgise, (through gritted teeth) and explain your situation. Surely they can't be that hard hearted.:curse:

jimandkate

Cant do but i have tried to find out but it is all the residents association and they have said that it is breaking the local gov agrrement it is just so maddening as all we want to do is sell .theour house local council say that they dont mind but if someone complains then you have o take the sign down but it is in one of those areas that folks forget the real world so far up there own importace give them a bit of power and thats what you get Full of sad old folks and nothing better to do with there time most signs go up and no one bothers but hey just our luck and most of them stay miles away and they only see it when walking there dogs and yes I will be waiting to see if the pick it up after them now Kate

Fly Away

I would put a note through everyone in your Streets letterbox asking if the sign bothered them. Explain your situation - play a few violins and ask if they could suggest a better place for the sign, (other than up their jacksies) witter on about how bad the housing market is and how you hope they aren't in the same situation as they would find it very hard without a sign etc etc.... You can't follow your dream to emigrate if you can't sell... poor children .... etc You should get them on your side then.

jimandkate

I have spoken to the ones in our street and the next street and no one has any problems as they will be in the same boat one day but my agent said that they can get fined for putting the sign back up OMG what a thing to moan about poor buggers have nothing else to do next they will be trying to get rid of the ark at the other end of the road thank god we are moving .We moved here for god schools and we thought that it is suppossed to be a really nice area yes it is but if you want to change your full personality and talk to folks as if you are better than them you wouldjust fit in perfect looks good until you stay in it and the old ones forget what it is like but hey what is for us will not go by us good luck with your offer and I hope that you get the higher one soon Kate

Kaitlin

OMG! What a joke Can't imagine who one sign would hurt :curse: Keeping for you and don't give up hope. See Nic got it sold! And my FIL which was almost 2 years' project!

Nic: GREAT NEWS!! Either way it's sold! Now to sorting stuff and you very well deserve not to clean for a while I was going also nuts cleaning all the time and ours took "only" 8 months to sell.

Just read from a Finnish forum how difficult it is to get a rental in Brisbane. Already worried if we will even get one for only 3months?? Hopefully we could find an appartment accomodation or something like it. Just don't know where to start looking!

Now a BIG BOWL of coffee and back to taking pics of kids clothes
