Spain!!!!!!!???? God has it come to this. Be positive we will get visa's. I think we are all waiting for July so we all need to keep busy just for a little while longer before those visa's come flooding in. Well that's the positive thought for the day.
Claire, I think i'm enjoying not working cos it's the first time in over 15 years i've not worked, but I know what you mean, there's only so much telly watching and cleaning a girl can do. You sound a bit isolated. My best friend lives 2 mins away and we have a good laugh together every day. However the subject of Oz is not mentioned between us as she has struggled with it. In fact I have to let her think it will never happen now (sometimes I believe this myself). Anyway none of us are alone - we have each other

Good Afternoon Ladies!
I am so sorry to hear about all your disapointments and problems recently... it seems we all just have enough and find it very hard to deal with anything extraordinary - it is very hard to keep on protenting to have a live "here" but at the same time wishing to be fare away!
It is especially hard to pretent to people that you don't care anymore and might not even go in the end... it is funny how people react once they think you are leaving.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning scared to actually go - it took us so long to get here, what if we don't want it in the end... it is one thing to fight for the visa but our lives will not get any easier once we get there! we will have to start our lives compl. new, find friends, a job, a house etc. Certainly nobody made this decision light harded but still people change....! I do want to go and I will be very happy over there but still, it will take a lot out of us to get where we want to be! I have moved countries now three times and it was never an easy thing to do - it was worth it in the end but still, hard work.
Anyway, I know we all are going to be very happy over in Australia and hopefully all our dreams will come through!!

Just to post a quick update, Flights are booked Sat 25/10/08 with Emirates - Manchester -Dubai- Brisbane (£2825 one way, 2 adults, 3 children), landing Brissie 27-10-08 at 6.35am
, we have 3 weeks furnished holiday accomodation sorted with a bayside cottage at Sandgate and hubby starts work 2 weeks after, so we have a couple of weeks to sort out something more permanent, buy a car, sort TFN/Medicare/Driving Licences etc......last week the exchange rate was as low as 1.91 but its gone up again thankfully.
Just in the process of opening a bank account and Hi Fx account butcant get my head around it at the moment, so much to do but we are on hols for the rest of the week to totally empty the house and organise it as best we can (ebay/car boot/ship/sell).
Cant believe how slow things are at the moment, have logged in every day to check for news but blimey, never expected this![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)

Speaking from somebody who has been here nearly three years and still awaiting permanent visa. No it is not easy when you get here but just remember when you open the curtains in the morning the sun is shining, the sky clear blue with no clouds, puts a smile on your face straight away. I still have to pinch myself when I am driving along the ocean front, I live here. WOW!!! There are always jobs. You need to come with the thought that you have to move backwards before moving forwards, if this makes sense.
Think positive and when you get here don't look back.
Deb

But at the same time there are more and more people giving out about the Australians, funny enough! My best friend is still living in Australia and even she says it is rather weird how the Aussies just don't really seem to care about much.... then again there are so many of us going over that will change very quickly!!
I've stoped drinking last week... turned into a little dipso lately and have even convienced my better half to stop for a while - it is amazing how your attitude changes!!!!!!!!!!

hi ya
i have had trouble with my daughters school for the last 2 years, bulling doesnt happen etc etc, this 1 girl has had her life and got her friends invloved to, it was so bad that they were bullying her on msn when she was talking to her other friends, got so bad she was wetting the bed, crying, she even has a bald patch on her head which the doctor said was down to the stress, well i watched what they were saying to her on msn and i printed them off (the language was terrible and they are only 9 and 10 year olds) and i took them into the school they didnt know what to say, i then took them to the police and asked them to have words with the school, which they did and touch wood things have been alot better since so stand your ground and give them what for
