Guest Sebbers Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I would like to say a big Thankyou to Andrea and Darren for arranging the meet. This was our first one we have attended and everyone made us feel welcome. Sorry for My hubby being a bit quite but he wasnt very well bless him. It was good to meet everyone and hope you stay in touch. Best of luck to those who are flying out soon and i only wish i was coming with you. LOL. THanks again., Sorry your hubby wasn't feeling too well and having to go to work too afterwards nightmare! It was very nice to meet both of you, hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your visa. It's always difficult going to these events when you don't know anyone there, glad you felt at ease with everyone, hopefully, it won't be too long before there's another one.

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi everyone from jim and helen, we really enjoyed the meet up, we were really impressed how all of you were certain that moving to Australia was the right thing to do. As we explained when we were there i am more certain about 85% but helen, is more like 55%. She knows it will be a better life for the kids and she is really fed up with her job and not to mention the bleeding horrible weather. You inspired us with your positve thoughts about emigrating and we came away feeling enthused and also with some good advice and information. You all were really nice people and some were going to Australia, some like us were validating our visas and others were waiting for their visas and it made a good cross section of topics and discussions. It did make laugh, on how we all were sick of what is happening to our great country and our experiences were similar, concerning anti-social behaviour and not being able to let our kids play out, plus everything else which is aleady logged all over this site. Anyway we just would like to say a big thanks for being so nice and we wish you all the best in the future, jim and helen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
