Re: Do we bring our white goods?

Did you bring your own car? You sound like you're talking from experience.

If so, would you go through the process again or is it more hassle than it's worth?

Re: Can we submit EOI with a baby on the way?!

Police Checks - do I arrange before EOI?

Hi,
Is it a good idea to arrange police checks before submitting our EOI?

and is this the same as CRB check? Do I just contact the local police office - sorry if that's a really daft question!
