Nathalie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Bit of a broad question....you could "start planning the move"? It all depends on when you want to go, where you want to go, do you have commitments (house etc), dependents (schools etc). You may want to be a bit more specific in what you want to know.

We will be renting our property in UK, we have 2 children (3+11) I'm looking for a list that must be done i.e 1) book flights 2) get quotes from movers 3) Apply for jobs etc...... I Suppose its the 'start planning the move' that Im asking help for ! regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathalie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 We just made a list with things that needed to be done and then ranked them in order of time it takes to get it sorted and when it needs to be sorted by. You have plenty of time, we felt once we booked the flights we had a set date and worked from there. Just write down all the things you can come up with, add stuff later you forgot and then start ticking things off the list once you have done it. Maybe someone has a premade list for you hehe, but it's really common sense, write up and start doing I say I have no kids so that makes it a little more complicated I guess, but plenty of families on here who can give you tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and congrats on getting your visa, its strange really, when we first started the visa process everything seemed like a minefield with all the abbreviations, visa subclasses, registrations etc..... BUT we got through it all with NO agent and the fantastic help fom people here on PIO, I suppose we are now starting again at that point but with different things to do, If you know what I mean ??? I'm sure everything will eventually fall into place !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Karen n Nige Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 We're not taking too much stuff (not even half a container!) Pickfords want £2800 and John Mason £2000! We're heading to Joondalup, where were you thinking of going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
