Help urgently required!

Hubby and me and the six kids have decided to move to Oz as we feel it's the right place for us in our hearts. We're going to do a runner from our credit card debt and mortgage and will have about 1000 pounds to establish ourselves. Does anyone have a spare room?

I am getting a visa to live in Australia. However my mum comes round and makes me tea every morning so can I bring her with me. Also can you get Tesco's own brand tea in Aus, as that's the only tea I can drink.

They have and they've often had replies stating that 'they still get child benefit and have no intention of stopping it as they've paid taxes'.
