I can cook basic meals, and iron my own clothes. Still not 100% figured out washing machines unless they have a simple twisty knob on the front though.

I'm just "tuning" my abilities. :lol:

Sounds like the same problem I have with men........ cant figure them out unless they have a 'knob I can twist on the front'!!!!!
PMSL!!!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I will be in Oz by the time I am 35 (July 2009) hopefully much much sooner.

However, I cannot cook, clean, do laundry, shop, look after or feed myself! However will I survive????

Down the beach with a mini mal and a 6 pack of pure blonde thats how!!!!! :thumbsup:

Sounds like you need to get hooked up with one of these guys!!! we now know they are emotionally stable and can cook! perfect!

and ive been told by a mate of mine you should speak to George Lombard in Oz, he is excellent and gives great advice on here and got my mate and his family out even after loadsa problems.
Good luck! :thumbsup:

Hey boys 'n' girls

Hope you are all doing fine tonight.

Well my boss is almost finished my reference, all 6 pages of it.

I have been with the same company 11 years this august.

Right from college.

I hope thats a good thing rather than a mix when i comes to the TRA...i hope :huh:

Sure i mentioned but i wanna change careers from electronics to refrigeration and air conditioning when i get to Ozz. I emailed 3 companys last asking advice on how '31 year, no experience loner' can gain employment in the industry :unsure:

2 emailed me today, asked for my CV and said they will give any help they can.

A job would be better but hey :D
