Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Might be a Perth thread. If not, start one and hope it doesn't die on its arse like my Sydney one!

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

OOOOOOOOOOO See I wasnt sure if I could join this thread as Im heading out with my 15yr old daughter - tho by the time we get there she and I will be slightly older :blink:

Does this mean Im an "Offical Loner" as well ?????

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Afraid so mate. Welcome to the team.

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Awwwww thanks :o

I guess I just have to decide where I wanna go now then

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Australia would be a start, otherwise you're int eh wrong loner thread! What's the story thrn? Just starting out?

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

:rofl: Yeah it is Oz for me. Just starting out - sheesh its gonna be a long 3 years!!! Just about to go back and start my 2nd year at uni and then will have to get a years experience under my belt. But it will be worth it in the end.

Had started this process a few years ago when I was married but things didnt work out and so its just me and my daughter now (my son has refused point blankly to come with me).

Oz is still biting at me so Im gonna go it alone - just trying to decide where I want to settle, have a few ideas, but in the 3 years it will take me Im sure I will have changed my mind hundreds of times - a womans prerogative you know :p

Hi Nick,
I am planning to emigrate by myself with my 6yr old daughter in a few years. i have just finished my degree so going to have a look at WA next month to see if i like it. Then back to do my masters and 12 months experience then i am of!!

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Huge congrats on finishishing your degree, Im going back having taken 2 years out to get myself sorted and used to being on my own etc etc so to say Im pooping my pants is an understatement :blink:

But like I said Oz is still biting at me so I have to just get on with it!!!

Do you have family in Perth? Is Perth your one and only choice?

When we were heading out as a family my ex hubby was 100% for Perth but now, after looking at other areas for the last few months, Im really not sure where I want to be.

Good luck with the masters :D

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

thankyou:)
good luck to you to...what is that you are studying?
i have a great unlce and aunt there but they are in their 80s so bythe time i go i am not sure if they will still be around :(. If i don't like Perth i plan to go to new south wales when i have finished my masters, i don't want to live in Sydney though. Where else are you looking at? If everything works out we will be going out there att he same time! Where in the Uk do you live? i am in leicester

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Nursing degree - just feels a bit weird as I started in 2005 and all the peeps I started with will be qualified as I start my 2nd year - but hey ho

Ive been looking all over really - Perth/Brisbane/Melbourne/Adelaide - who knows, I guess it depends on the visa I go for as well, my age will be against me as im 40 this year so I may well go sponsorship, especially as I am on my own and wont have a fortune to take with me either.

I live in Hampshire with my son and daughter so that will be a huge tug for me as he has refused flatly to go to Oz.
