Booked my xray today for next tuesday. Now I am panicking, what if there is something wrong with me?

Besides from that, got a nice email from my new work...

I did that too. I thought I'd fail the skills assessment, the police check, the IELTS test (twice) and the medicals. Its weird the way these things run through you're mind for no reason at all. I really dont know why I thought I'd fail the police check as I've done nothing wrong... ever.

well I had a chest xray before I came to the UK, so if I have TB, I got it from here...not that that will help anything...

Have you booked flight yet?? We are hoping to get out end of July/beg Aug and will start off in Harbord, near Freshwater Beach - you'll know it, I should think.

Shall we try and set a date for meet?? Sharon has been checking out venues!!


Congratulations! And to Paul too.

Flights - not yet but I need to get a move on for mid june. I'm still trying to find the best deal (& work out if I can be bothered to ship anything over) as I'd like a stopover to break up the distance. Spoke to qantas today but they only allow the 40kg allowance if you book one of their 'special' £700 + taxes ONE WAY migrant fares!

Freshwater - yeah that's basically north manly I think. Trying to hunt down something close to the cbd, short term for the first month or so to give me a chance to look around before commiting to a longer rent. Nice dilemmas to have though...
