I dont think there are any dual cab utes with a front bench seat or that can seat 6.

what sort of jobs did he run in the uk. he will have a lot of responsibility in that position here. ie, he will be in charge of the whole show.

This one was hid away in another forum.
Any ideas for a venue ?

How do you feel about an orange & silver colour scheme?

I saw a couple of blokes today checking out the old school buses for sale on Mulgrave Road on the way to Edmonton.

Speed cameras will be the least of your worries....

Well we are settled into our new rental in Redlynch, it's a 2 bed 2 bath townhouse for $300/week, took a six month lease and hope to buy after that when hopefully we will have our PR visa (ENS application sent off last week).
Our new place seems quite small after yesterday when 43 boxes of crap that we shipped from the UK arrived on the doorstep, at least Nigel now has his tools and I have a load of jumpers and winter boots that I'll never wear!

Hiya, glad all is going well..hope you like the new place. $300 isn't a bad price.
We are also looking at renting in redlynch area if we can't get anything in forest Gardens.
jen has applied for 2 jobs with Queensland Government..one pays really well ($80,000 plus) and the other about $58,000..as long as she has a chance with one its a start. They seem to be taking ages to get back on first one although requested more details so that can only be good! Second one is working from home which would be ideal as we have been worried about leaving the dog on his own if we both do 9-5 mon-fri jobs. Not so bad after 3 months as I will do a 4 day week...keep your fingers crossed for her..they don't seem bothered about PR at mo..they know she will get it when I have mine so they said they could sort it at a later date!
Take care and keep n touch

Hi Liz, we've all had the flu here so been feeling really fed up
Almost changed our minds and decided to go to Tas again
But after a long weekend of sneezing, coughing and talking we feel the job offer in Cairns is going to be very hard to match elsewhere.
Been reading through the contract, which is very long, it all looks fab!!!!
Reckon we should book the flights soon to give us something to focus on rather than let those worries kick in again!!!!
Can't wait to see my hubby in shorts, t-shirt and boots going to work....ROTFLMAO
Fingers crossed we sell soon so can finally get moving!!!!
Good luck with your medical....you'll be fine!!!

Hiya Beth - get those flights booked! Then you can't change your minds.

We're all ill too. Half term and we're all lying on the sofa with a box of tissues each and fighting over the remote control.
