I thought you were going to Tasmania or am I a few pages wrong?

Morning all

Great news about the job offer Beth! Loads of BE folks on the SC - you won't be billy no mates for long. The package sounds good. I know you can't cover your mortgage but with them paying for flights etc, can you afford to rent out the house (and pay the extra mortgage left over)?? It might work our better than leaving it to sell??? (This is just an idea - don't know the full circumstances obviously)

Fingers crossed for you today Nicky - really hope this is the one.

No news from me... waiting as usual.

My australian nieces wanted a hampster, but they don't seem to have those in Oz. Some areas can be anti cat, so be careful where you live if you get a kitten.

Anyway.......job package consists of : pay ($100,000+) + super + company car + laptop + flights (for the 6 of us!!! ) and accommadation on arrival

So quite a good offer.........but will it be good enough to make us change our destination plans from Mel-SC

Beth x x
Wow Beth, thats fantastic news, whatever your OH does, is certainly in demand, the other offers you have had were also very generous (not jealous really, ok just a touch envious!)

I think with a package like that, unless you are absolutely dead set on Melbourne, then I'd grab it, just the flights and accommodation alone is going to save you thousands to begin with.

Does it sound like a good job for Andrew? If so, go for it

Good luck

Sam

I do that too - they charge silly money for the sweets etc!

Any news from the survey - I expect it's early days!

I know - we'll have to get a housecat. Although my cousins have loads of cats - but they were all strays who turned up and they are big softies so they fed them - they have 37 acres so no one sees them.

Good luck with that - my lot always trash something behind my back - or leave the loo seat up - or forget to make their bed etc and I only notice when the viewer is actually in the house.

Well, I am even more p'd off with my EA - if that is possible.:curse: The people who wanted to view yesterday and I put off - the ones who haven't even got their house on the market. EA said she would tell me if Tuesday was booked. I heard nothing - so I called - I need notice for viewings - don't we all. Anyhow, the new girl who is supposed to be looking after us, said they would rebook when their house was actually on the market - being valued next week. Had she bothered to tell me that - NO! Then, she said she was passing us over to another girl as she was really into lettings and the lettings was really taking off now.... Shows what their priorities are doesn't it? We are the most expensive house on their books - they will make more out of us and we are treated like dirt. They have had to shut one office down already. I reckon they are going into lettings big time to avoid going bust... Contract is nearly up.... can't see us staying.

Nobody in the house except me and dog (shut in the kitchen) and they are not allowed to come back either My lot know when to stay away. When I get stressed they all disappear

What is up with them. If they sell your house it gives them loads of commission. Please let your neighbour buy it and then you can tell them to poke it right where the sun doesn't shine

I am hoping for this to happen.... just can't guarantee it...

Hope your lot stay away all day - although it sounds like they are very wise.

Ahh - hiya Somme, how are you today?

Just been on Adbrits looking into our employment prospects - looks like we might need to spend a few grand on retraining too... I have a postgrad degree in personnel and training but not sure if I still need an Aussie cert to actually get a job??? They sure love their bits of paper.
