Well Sally, I honesty wish you and your family all the best in Melbourne (and we hope to be joining you somewhere on the east side of Melbourne once we get that golden ticket)Good Luck too to Ozzieclaire-not to long for you now girl,Gonnago-who's also booked flights for very soon from what I can remember,Lee and Joanne-hope the house sale goes through smoothly and in record time-have a great time in Oz.
Not forgetting the rest of you guys-those with visa's,those still waiting-god this feels like a speech ,can you tell I've been drinking all afternoon! Seriously though-good luck to all of you and a fantastic future in Oz (when we eventually get that bloody Visa!!!)
Cheers All-wishing those still waiting a better week than the one we've just had
Take Care

Hi everyone, havent been on for a while! busy clearing out attick!! Congratulations to everyone who have been granted their visasWe just feel that we are stuck in limbo just now! We only have 7 weeks before we have to move in with my mother We are still waiting on co. Our son is due to start school in August and if we havnt our visas by then I shall have to send him, how unsettling for him!! We called our agents a couple of days ago just to ask if they knew of any progrss, There had only been 2 clients of theirs so far who had their visas!! Im tired of this waiting game now!! I feel like i could go into a huge big field and scream:curse::curse:

Gonnago

Sorry not been about much this weekend - not been sober enough to post! lol

Good luck for those still waiting this week. Particuarly on lucky Wednesday

Just wanted to say congratulations to all who have recieved thier visas over the past week.
not been on since last thursday as my internet provider very kindly turned off the broadband and tv too early:curse:you try and be organised and these companies still mess it up .:curse:
Been having withdrawl syptoms and we are officially homeless and living with the MIL and her husband. thank goodnes they are on holiday though for two weeks as the front room is chocker with stuff .............. i dont know where it all comes from a few boxes in her garage aswell to carboot and my friend just informed me that it is only 30 days till we go

Why do I not feel anything yet? i dont feel normal as not even had one wobble or sadness bout. I'm just waiting for it to hit that we are actually moving to the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!

GOOD LUCK to good news this week coming Augustees

Hi Kath, maybe you've nothad a wobble cos deep down you know that this is so right for you, it's a fantastic and exciting opportunity - so enjoy enjoy enjoy and the very best of luck to all of you soon to be flying
out.

Irishgal - hurry up and get settled in OZ, make sure your laptop is the first thing you unpack (not the kettle and tea bags - as is so typical British). You'll be missed on BE, good luck to you and your family.

Debbie Doos - which field do you intend screaming in? Can I come and scream with you?

Like you Gonnago, i've not been very sober this weekend (and I didn't get a visa!). Had a bit of a noisy party Sat night - think my neighbours will be glad I'm moving so far away (well hopefully).

Anyway just popped on really to say good luck for those still waiting. Lets all think positive thoughts and stay calm and happy.

Cheers Caroline

Lee and Joanne

Lovely speech Sarah and Andy
Thank you and all the best for the future. You will get yours this week i'm sure.. Ours was only a few days before yours, so its got to be very soon. Take care

morning!!
it seems to have been a quite ... ehm, ... 'wet' weekend all around

oi! don't NOT post just because of it - we all love it



maybe you should drink more often though we can more of your posts!!!


you are probably way too busy to think straight!!!
that's how i feel and we are quite a way away still ...
i don't think it's a bad thing though, maybe you are just excited and you look forward to it?!?!


oh, and GOOC LUCK everyone!!!! surely this must be another good week for us augustees!!! we SO deserve it

Huni

we're doing well thanks.. alot of us.. use the augustees as a guide for how long we will be waiting and are really happy when you guys get good news!

shabee

We all know how you are feeling, I have just checked my emails this morning and still nothing. My second son is also due to start the academy after the summer and I really dont want him having to go as when he gets to Oz he goes back a year. He really wont like that!

Hi Shabee,
We are the same in limbo not knowing what the outcome will be. We have discussed with the kids who are 14 & 12 that if our visa comes through they will finish school on 18 July we will head out September but we won't put them on roll in Oz till Feb as Anya will have to go back to primary school as they start secondary school in year 8 and I would prefer for them to go to the same school if possible.

No news for us today (not that I was expecting any) I did email our case officer yesterday tho, though I would shimmy him a long abit to find where my medical has got to.

Speak soon my lovelies.

Loads of Love Claire x

Lee and Joanne

Hi Kath,
We've been looking at the flights for 11/06. We should here from our solicitor soon with a completion date. Aiming for end of this month.Then we are going to live with MIL for a few days just to say our farewells to family and friends. Flights seem to be a little bit cheaper mid week. Looking at night flights from Manchester or Birmingham. Family of four is around 2,500. Not bad

Hi Joanne,

Have you looked on Singapore Air as they seem to be the most reasonable at the moment I just looked on their site for you and as I don't know where you are going I tried for Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth & Sydney from Manchester and they were all under £2,500 if you haven't already check it out.
