Re: March Applicants
hello all, just a quick note to say kieran had his operation yesterday, and all went well! and we got home yesterday, which was loads better than we expected! his has done remarkably well, I am amazed at his resilience! we have to go back on 22nd november and hopefully they will have the biopsy results and a hand over pack to take with us to oz!...fingers crossed!

Re: March Applicants
Hi howellers!
Where are you guys off to and when? sounds like you're almost ready.
(i could look on the spreadsheet but i never seem to be able to access it!)
We are just waiting for house to sell but the markets just crap at the mo...we may have to rent it out and go anyway if it doesn't sell.

Re: March Applicants
Crossed wires! just went back to bank (hsbc) and he said we could keep the account open for a couple of years (sure he said i couldnt last time)
bu t thats my cotton wool for brains probably!we are selling the cars 2 days before we leave so need to pay that in!Bank also said that they charge a flat rate of £21 to transfer our money over and get the exchange rate that day from the stock exchange so they will be very competitive with independant agents.really not sure what to do as somehow it feels safer for your bank to do it all?
Anyway, just trying to cook dinner/get nursery bag ready fro tommorrow/tidy house and do dads hair so must get on! Lots a love, Tracey.x

Re: March Applicants
Umm... where do we start? Most likely place for Justin to get work (after sydney but too expensive to live there), and has been voted twice (by the economist intelligence unit in 2002 and 2004) as the most liveable city in the world! it is the fashion and food capital of oz (
yummy)
we like the fact it has 4 seasons,renowned for sports, festivals arts and entertainment.its a cofortable drive from city to country,mountains,snowfields (sking in oz!!)desert outback and the great ocean road with beautiful views and beaches (blimey! maybe i should work for thr victorian tourist board??) saying all that, we have never been, and really hope to god we like it afte all this!!!!
They have had a huge propery boom in the last year and from when we started way back 15 months ago, we re now way off affording what we wanted, but hopefully can be nearly mortage free in a 3 bed house so not all bad!!!
