That would be great, since your in Fremantle all ready theres loads of nice places there for beer :thumbsup:
I recon its going to take me to End on Jan start of Feb 09 to save up the rest of the cash I want so got to wait until then unfortunatley. I was over there in Feb this year wish I had stayed and not come back to UK, but you live and learn, had to validate ASAP.

I was reading through some PM's from 3 years ago I found on PiP the other day, cant believe it has taken this long to get where we wanted to be. I guess the best things come to those who wait.

Re: 4 month update
 

I remember those days of PiP, and going to the expos at Sandown racecourse trying to get all the info. I will never forget my first expo, getting excited at what I now know was complete tosh.

My god, the journey that we take to get here - you could make a book out of it for all of us I reckon.:lol:

Re: 4 month update
 

OMG Yeah, but I had a bad experience at the Expos, they basically told me I had no chance of getting to OZ. :frown: But they obviously didnt know how determined I was :thumbsup:

Re: 4 month update
 

Can I join you both for a beer too :) when I eventually get there?

Re: 4 month update
 

Wow! These updates are like London buses, you wait for ages, then 3 great ones come along at once:thumbup::lol:

Great update PP & thanks for the advice at the end. Will try to remember that when we finally get there:thumbsup:

Now I must go, I killed myself in yoga yesterday and it is hurting to breathe:eek:[/QUOTE]

PP, I know you didn't kill yourself doing yoga, you killed yourself looking at that guys one-eyed trouser snake.

Great post as usual. I hope you and Mr PP continue to have a great time in your new life.
All the best, keep the blogs coming:thumbsup:

Hi PP, fab posts really enjoyed reading about your journey. Hoping to be in Perth by Xmas and i'm currently collecting quotes etc etc. Is renting with an animal a problem (not referring to OH, but our dog!). Keep us up-dated and I hope you continue to love your exciting new life in Oz.

Cheers Caroline

Mr PP was told he had no chance, I used to sit up at my pc until the early hours of the morning researching and when I was out of work I would spend all day looking for a way in, we would hit a brick wall, start again and so forth.

Hell yes, it will be one big fat pint of beer - well earned as well.

Just don't underestimate how ill you could be through this, the stress starts long before you move, your body and immune system become run down months before you go and you 'run on empty' and then when you do get to Australia, if you are unlucky then it catches up with you. Oh how I wished I had looked after myself better prior to going - both physically and mentally - it would have paid dividends.

I am dreading the trouser snake on Saturday, my friend is coming with me and has threatened to play hoops with it should it surface again.

I do believe it is easier if you have a cat and they asked if ours was an indoor one as neighbours can take offence to cats crapping in their garden.

My Gordon however is getting increasingly distressed at being left alone, something he never did in the UK - perhaps I can feel another cat coming!

Re: 4 month update
 

Hey PP, long time no speak. Have just been thinking of the stress we all went through to get the visas. Glad to hear that it's all working out for you, and you have safely landed in Freo, which I love! Have you done the prison tour? It's cool!

Good luck to you chuck!

Kez x:thumbsup:

Re: 4 month update
 

Lurgy still hanging around:eek: just had heaps of blood tests but the doc is certain its glandular fever - so I shall just wait and see. Dad said I had it when I was little but I dont remember.


Yes how time has flown :D I keep meaning to do the prison tour, I love Freo and cant imagine living anywhere else. Everything on my doorstep, no need for taxis or anything - I love it.

Re: 4 month update
 

I told ya didn`t I!!:rofl:

Re: 4 month update
 

Yes you did, even before we had visited there:lol:

There we were, all set to put a deposit on a place in Warnbro and end up in another agents being driven round Freo by the Estate Agent.

:lol:
