Re: a newbie to b.e. trying to work it out
Just wanted to say hi,
Like you I'm just just getting the hang of this forum lark.
I've spent many years tarnishing my real life reputation (just ask my neighbours!
) and now I find I have to start all over again!!!
Oh the injustice!

I moved there to join the police (in 1995) so worked out of Glossop nick. Lived in Longclough Drive, Simmondley. Always like Old Glossop best though. Great pubs, great people, even alot of the ones I nicked ! You may know some of my old colleagues; PM me if so, I would love to catch up.

Age and alcohol for me too!
We're aiming for brisbane although it all really depends on where hubby finds work,I'm not too picky!
We're still right at the beginning though, just getting ACS application ready, what about you?

Re: a newbie to b.e. trying to work it out
I'm sure all will be well with the survey
Am so looking forward to being where you are although I can quite understand how scary it must be at the same time
although at least having work organised must take the pressure off a bit?Lindsay

Re: a newbie to b.e. trying to work it out
i think the pressure is worse when you have a job to go to. you have to sell your house then to fit with their schedules. it doesnt seem to help much with speeding up the visa's either. how slow are they in the visa department? :curse:
we have no other contacts over there, so this site is making me feel so much better about the whole move. especially now i know they have my fav drink!
