Hi Justin - really pleased for you love, but if everyone starts sending the DIMIA an email - they may not get round to granting any visas at all as they're too busy replying to everyone!!! xx

Excellent news Rich!! We should be completing this week. Currently have no firdge/freezer (sold on ebay this weekend), no sofas/chairs in the front room, beds dismantled, wardrobes dismantled. We're living like squatters LOL

John Masons are coming Wednesday to pack it all up and ship it to Sydney!!!!!

It's very, VERY real LOL

Hi Guys

Good morning everyone.

Haven't been around much since the cock up of my medical but all seems to be ticking along now!! Hopefully.

Many congrats to all of you who have had visa grants or cos allocated seems alot has been going on. That's great.

I read about you guys sending emails and thought I'll give this a try. Received an email today from our co saying that she now had all the medicals and would be contacting us in the near future. Getting a tad excited now.

Another bit of news is we decided to book our flights in anticipation of some good news. We fly out 19th Jan 07. Just need a visa and better start thinking about house etc. Dont worry we have decided to rent it out.

Sounds like it's all coming together Lisa
Any more news???

Our house sale is pretty much there (after a bit of messing around - see other post in barbie), complete a week after we get to Oz but should be ok!

Got our first month booked in a fully furnished pad in Manly, all our stuff is now shipped, fly 2 weeks tomorrow :scared: !!!!!!!

Can't wait

We got our passports back yesterday with their lovely visa's inside them

See what you mean, Graham, about them being a bit boring! I could have rustled up something much better on the computer

Bet these two weeks are going to be the longest of your life!

To everyone one else still waiting. There's going to be loads of "got its" next week - I can feel it in me bones

Hi everyone,

Northerner were in sydney are you going? have you managed to find any cheap accomodation short term... I am struggling a bit to find something cheap.

I have found some cheap motels try formule 1 very cheap $59 a night. Have you found anything cheapish for around 2 weeks or so if so do tell

We will have to meet up for a beer, i will be booking my flights at the end of the month looking at early April prices do seem to be quite good, try trailfinders, airline network and would you beleive Asda travel seem to be coming up trumps!!! I also hear that Singapore Airlines are the only ones ofering double bagge allowaces of 40kg get it writing from there head office and take that with you if you book through them

Cheers all

Justin

And thanks Josie....but sending the email as nudge did work for me otherwise i could still be enduring more sleepless nights ;P

john_w

Thanks for the tip on ASDA .. checkedd it out and theyre nearly £ 50 cheaper in January for the emirates flight Ive been pricing with the usual places..never thought of looking at them until you mentioned it!!

Hi Northerner

You must be really excited and nervous. I wish you all the best in your new life. I will be thinking of you by Sydney Bridge on new years eve. You lucky devils what a way to celebrate a new year.

I thought i would have heard something this week but maybe now next week. I think our co doesn't work on Mondays, so fingers crossed for wed/thurs.

Let us know how you get on.
