And to make things worse, I think I may be getting some shitty news tomorrow that may put the kybosh on the whole thing anyway. I'm hoping by writing my negativity down I can prompt some good news instead (pessimist never being disappointed etc). Sorry for putting a downer on he thread but having one of those weeks!

Tell em if they dont sort it out soon I will come and deal with them!!!!! :eek:
(and yes they should be frightened!!! - i want them cowering in the corner on their knees....! ) ( or is that a different thread on another site?!!?!:o:rofl:)

i'm going out to brisbane in 3 months on my own and although i'm a bit worried about being on my own, i realised that you can be lonely in the uk too.......so better to be lonely in the sun and outdoors doing cool stuff than in the miserable winter and indoors watching reaity tv!......although i will miss dancing on ice! ha! :-)

good luck everyone

L:thumbsup:

Hi Louemm,
Your'e so right. except for the dancing on ice bit - Id rather have champagne on ice (actually thats abit posh for me!!!- i'll stick with something more simple......!!!!!) :rofl: (like me!)
Good luck to you too....looks like you may be one of the first out there!:ohmy:

ha! they said they were going to do a webcam interview with me but didn't in the end. think it's quite normal practice though. it would be strange with the delay tho. well done on your 2nd interview.....you're nearly there! i'm waiting for my melbourne call now....the joys of evening interviews!

yellow all! good news, as i wake up at half 6 uk time every morning now toi check my emails after the day's finished in oz! LOL!

I've got 2nd interviews tonight for my job in melbourne, and again on thursday with a job in sydney! phew this is actually real!
My only concern thats racking my brain at the minute is the fact that i really love my job here in the uk! I've tried to see what options there are in australia with the company and they do have 1/2 vacancy's but i'd have to go on a whv, apply when there and interview when there and then get them to sponsor me once there... its playing on my mind a little!???????
