Feel bad about putting them on the plane as well it must be quite frightening for them. We are undecided about the cat at the moment. He's an indoor cat and don't imagine Oz to be a place with doors closed all the time. Good thing is my niece has Korats too so she has offered to have him if we want.

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU TOO

Enjoy your night out. I went to see grease last night now have no voice left after the singing (that'll please Steve). But it won't stop me saying yes to Dec when he asks me to run off with him (please Steve even more)


If I get on I'll ask the boys to give it up for everyone on BE!!!

have a good weekend everyone x

We have gone through all of te reasons for not taking the dog that you have..and we are still taking him. 4 weeks in quarantine is not as hard as being away from you forever. We will find it difficult finding somewhere to rent but there are properties, maybe not exactly what you want but when you buy it wont matter!! 4 weeks in quarantine isn't long..our dog is very clingy..our in laws have offered to have him but we know he is better with us. There are plenty of places to wlk the dog and they are even allowed on most beaches (just not in the swimming /life guarded area). Financially we are sacrificing other things to take the dog, like a newer car etc. We just couldn't not take him!! We bought him for life!

Oh, you've made me feel really bad now

I would take her if it were just my decision but hubby is the big bad wolf on this one

Why is your husband so dead set on not taking your dog? Dig your heels in big style hon xxx

tripawaymars

Sorry Sammy T..didn't mean to make you feel bad..just that we know we couldn't live without ours..the house would be so empty without the dog to greet us and to protect us!! If I have to go out to Oz first I will be feeling so insecure in a house on my own without the dog!! I am a big scardy cat!

hi to everyone, HAPPY EASTER!!!!! (even happier i know if you had your visas)

good luck to everyone STILL waiting, good luck with the house viewings and enjoy nights out!(oh and lovely cake).

re. animals, we've been having the same debate about my son - only difference is he doesn't want to come! wish it was as simple as 6 months in quarantine then oz for life for him! what next animals, kids, ex's, house selling, the list is endless... oh the joys of emigrating!

That's OK, its just my guilt making me feel bad

Our home would definitely be empty without the dog, she's such a big personality.

Ours is the same and we are not thinking if he is outside there from day one would he get used to it?? Seen a few properties we like and maybe they will let him sleep in garage at night and be outdoors during the day...after all we willbe outside more than in when we are at home!! Just worried about him barking and annoying the neighbours if he isn't used to being outside!!
Good luck with the visa, you're meds came through really quick..3 weeks and still waiting. They said I will have an answer on Tuesday..that means they must have known on Thursday last surely....with it being Easter etc and them not working fri and Mon!!!
It drives you mad, all this uncertainty. As soon as I know about meds I can start serious house hunting as CO is going to finalise the visa striaght after!!

Sammy T

Hi

Hope you hear about your meds asap. How come you know that your visa will be granted as soon as your meds are done?

Our meds were the only thing to get processed quickly - everything else has been a pain!

Sam

My case officer stated that all my paperwork was in order and that she will be able to finalize the visa very quickly after the meds are cleared!! Don't know how, guess I have been lucky with my case officer!

Sammy T

Good luck
