the house has sold, the removal men have been and gone and we've moved
in with the inlaws, for the next 3 weeks.
If i can say Brittania removals were first class from the off. they even got the washing in when it started to rain and wound my car windows up. They turned up on time and were VERY polite and curtious. Got a leaving party booked in 3 weeks and most of the town is coming. (i've told them all leaving presents in Au $ lol):)
have added a few pix of the "big day" the curtains were twitching on our street!

Brings back memories, such an exciting time when your furniture gets shipped and even better when it arrives. The shippers 1st job was they opened the boxes marked toys for the kids and it was like Christmas for them - I have never seen them so excited.
I'm a builder moved to Perth last December and love it - fab place for kids and not bad for the adults to, weather a bit cool at the moment and wet but will soon start to warm up again so lots of bbq's.
Have you got work lined up when you get here? It's a bit slow at the moment but there is work.

Nice one Martin, I aint really got much lined up to be honest, some say its slow here but like you say there is work about. To be honest work has never been much of a problem, its the kids I'm worried about, I just hope the settle in ok. My middle daughter keeps saying "when we come back from Australia"......etc.
Thanks for your reply mate, it really is assuring to know there's people like you who have done the"leap" to talk to.
Paul.

Kids are surprisingly adaptable & what you think won't be ok invariably is!
Take it one step at a time:thumbsup:

It's an odd image that one, I wonder what it's all about. I found it by accident on a google image search. See the strange donkey-like figure in the background.

But if you woke up like that It could explain your trapped nerve. How is it now?
