Apparently the 3g dongles do work in oz, as they have 3g there. Not sure if you can payg there but you can do online top ups anyway. But if not you can always sell it again on ebay. I tried mine and it worked fine same signal as mobile, probly work better in towns that out in sticks. Plus you can take your laptop anywhere and get internet! yay!

Hubby tried it for his online gaming (world of warcraft) and it works fine too so far not much lag. For £100 i think its cheaper than getting a new broadband connection as even ones on monthly contracts and no tie ins you need to pay for the equipment and we'd have to put in mother in laws name. Not looking forward to not having much privacy but its a shortt term thing.

Fly away we applied in august so visa could be here any time. Been offered one job in adelaide and another looks promising had email today to say they were impressed with me and are in discussions but now not sure what i want lol

Worth a shot I hope.

Beginning to feel that its all disappearing I even considered doing a Beth last night, now she has put that idea in my head. :

But I know its just a temporary feeling.
Pics looking good Kaye.

It's a horrible feeling when you don't know when you'll sell or if you'll be trapped here.. Hold on tight hun and you will get an offer. It's a lovely house - cheap price, somebody will find it and fall in love.

Leaflet shot is well worth it! Stay positive.

I have just spoken to EA, he says they have the signed mortgage offer, but they need to clarify somethings on it with the lender, also they are still clarifying some details with the dropped kerb! That was sorted weeks ago, we agreed £1500 on completion, I am sooo pissed off.

I have just text our buyer and said she needs to give her conveyancer a big kick up the arse, if we dont exchange by Thursday we will miss Easter

Im soooo stressed! I just wish I could bypass agent and Buyer and speak to her solicitors myself but Im not allowed...:
AGHHH Hayles, I'm furious for you. They've had months to sort this stuff out...:curse: I'm sure it WILL happen - just not when you want it to - the b8ggers.

Sending you some Ks for good luck. Keep the dream...:

Hiya Somme - glad to hear that the pain is worth it.

I'm focusing on that pool.... hmmmm hmmm it WILL happen.

How are you - any news??

That's good. It's not easy but worth it, should be our mantra. When are your children coming to visit? Are you still having your grandson for the 6 week holiday?

YAY! 2 jobs - at least you won't have to worry about spending out, without an income. Chose the one which sounds more relaxed - that's why we're all going!!

Oh Im glad its going well, I keep focusing on buying property but then when I sit back and think, it would be awfully nice to have the freedom of renting...we'll see. Enjoy the moment.

Going to Adelaide, hoping for June, but that is dependant on visa, we applied August with 30,000 other people so stuck in the horrendous backlog.:curse:

Summer is over and it is cooler but with temps still 29c in the day and 23c at night it still feels really warm to me but Aussie's are already wearing cardies, I kid you not.

I wish I had got rid of loads of stuff, now I am going to have to have a garage sale

Adalaide has had an awful heat wave for weeks now, hope Tiggs is coping OK.

Prices not dropping as quickly as Uk but more and more houses are for sale.

Thinking of putting our stuff into storage next Jan 09 and getting a campervan and taking 6 months to do some touring of Oz

Our pool man comes from Adalaide and has moved up here because he says the weather has got more extreme over the last few years, really cold in the winter and summers unbearable. He is renting as he can't sell his house back there, come from small place in he country.

Poor Tiggs

Just checked and mone are still at Heathrow too. Although it could just be that they haven't updated the system yet. they could be midair and the first we know about it is when they land at Singers or Sydney.

The campervan sounds like a great idea!! Put your money in the lovely high interest accounts that must be available and wait for a property crash. (I've just described what everyone in the UK is doing....)

Tiggs moved into her house last week - had a PM this morning. I hope it has A/C as the rental didn't! We were in Adelaide this time last year and it was 23-27 degrees - lovely. As you say Somme, the Aussies were wearing cardies though...

Sounds possible! Gonnago has sent her extras with the meds, so there should be no delay.

Hi Spaceys

Who are you flying with, we from Heathrow,Singapore Airlines, 22.05 flight.
thought best to fly night all way, arrive Bris 29th am.

chased EA today, asked how our potential buyers are doing, no further forward, but we have managed a 3 month holiday for our mortgage payments to ease the pressure.

Hope there is some news for you soon.

Good luck
