Keep sharing Mandie. I don't know if it's the way you wrote or what but I'm feeling partial towards them and would like to know how they're getting on

Yes, I think it's helpful. You've given what seems to me to be a warts and all account from people who are making a real go of things here.

I think it helps for people to see the pitfalls that your friend is overcoming and that these problems are not unusual. They could quite easily face them themselves and still feel that the move here has been a success, that other people have had them too and overcome them.

Sorry if I missed it but how long have they been here now?

Thanks for that, it was really helpful. I could have laid money on 'some' of the comments you received, but I'm with Mandie H, it was useful and much appreciated

Any need? I for one am very interested in what Am Loolah has to say about her friends experience as we will be making the journey next week, it's good to know who has been helpful ie the bank and that their expectations were not met by their rental etc. We will read with interest.

Thumbs up Re: Straight from the horses mouth ...

Great to hear that they are happy and positive about the move.

I think everyone who has made the move over here can identify with their story. Wish them all the best!
