Just checked and it says all that at the top, right side of the form. The one I'm reading is dated 04/07.

you can get a list of UK equivalent public notaries from the London contact centre.
I did have one and was going to put it on here, but cannot find it - helpful eh :p
I emailed them and they took a few days to get back to me with the list attached.

I have tattoos and the most recent was done last October time and I when I had my meds done and I didn't have to any extra tests done.
The nurse just said that they usually don't bother unless they look a bit scabby!!

Think everywhere is going to have different procedures and it depends how much money they want to make of you!

all is fine here. I've just sent off to renew my UK passport as it only has just under a year on it and once its back I'm going to sort the visa app out once and for all, I cant keep putting it off!

Anyway lets not talk about me, lets talk about you!!! I can imagine its tough the first few weeks as it will all be so different.......how are the prices and stuff? Does it seem expensive?

Anyway - plesae please do an update, I am sure everyone is on tenterhooks waiting for one!

House prices...scary!!! Havent seen a decent house under $460,000 but thats in the areas weve chosen. Houses may be available under that in a different area :confused:

I will try and put an update together :blink: soon...........

Where about in QLD are you heading again, remind me? C x

Will be Windsor in Brisbane to start with where OH's sister lives, then probably a bit further out once we buy somewhere as house prices there are crazy, I was just looking at some auction result prices for that area and 4 bedroom houses are going for up to $900,000, how ridiculous! Plus as I have three kids, I did really want 5 bedrooms so we coudl have a guest bedroom. I really need to win that lottery soon........

What about jobs and schools and stuff for you or are you waiting a while? Oh I CANT WAIT for the update - type faster!! Ha ha! :thumbsup:
