Hi Baby! glad you had a good day after all that - happy birthday!!!.

Where u staying now that you don't like - and where do u want to rent - we are always looking at houses on the internet in Brisbane (stunning!) and we are trying to narrow this list of suburbs down so we know where too look - we will also rent before we buy... keen to find out what u think... whats the weather like btw - its mid winter hey? we have had a few nice days here.


Take it easy everyone - hang in there!

Hi all

I have just booked my medicals for 8th August and feel really giddy so felt the need to share!!!!!

Do you think that the date is about right to be ready for when we get a CO

I am trying not to get too excited but it seems such a long time ago that we applied (jan 29th) that it is nice to feel like something is going to move soon.

Cx

Sounds ok. Most of us on here frontloaded our medicals ages ago, think we were a bit optimistic. You get a year from when you had your medicals/police checks done to actually validate.

Good luck in your meds. They are more frightening than they really are. I wish we had waited like you, but I suppose we can always redo them if we have to. *sigh*

LOL, we all got carried away because they were moving at such a fast pace.

TAB is a betting shop - often in a pub!

If you wait til you get a CO to get meds done, you are looking at about 8 weeks (I'm guessing) If you already have meds etc and everything is correct - it could be instant!

Of course! Nerrrrr


We waited a whole month for OH's updated reference - if we had known they were so slow we wouldn't have waited and just submitted and attached later... Still we live and learn!
