loulou1872 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 HI Mandi What a minefield!! Stressful yes I totally agree, but we are all dreaming of a life in WA. We have looked at Perth and the suburbs, I'm trying not to look at too much in case we are not successful :skeptical: John is a carpenter, although even that caused a bit of confusion because here in Scotland he is known as a joiner!:laugh: So his vetassess was successful and I'm going to lodge the ss and 176 tomorrow, I've been a Dispensing Optician for the last 20 years but it's not on any lists. I'm a team developer for Slimming World at the moment. Our girls are Kirsty 14 and Phoebe 10 both very excited about the prospect of a move, my parents on the other hand havent taken the news so well:em4600: And depending on how long this all takes I think the animals will have to stay here! 13 year old dog, 16 year old cat and a 3 year old rabbit called elvis:elvis: lol kids not that chuffed about that :-( Where abouts have you looked at?

Guest Mystery^Customer1974 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Welcome to PIO I hope that you will find all you need on here to help with the huge amount of things you need to sort out before boarding that plane If you need info on almost any subject relating to the whole process then you will find people that will in some capacity be willing and able to assist you One thing I would say regarding family/friends not being happy If you have your partner and your children and your health that is the most important part of any family I had no quarms about the move and didn't worry about anyone else Try to remember that this is: 1)YOUR chance 2)YOUR choice 3)YOUR future Don't let anyone spoil it or guilt trip you as you have enough to sort out without having emotional 'family' moping about or being negative Stay strong and positive for the future and reasure them of your reasons and remind them that they will be able to have wonderful holidays down under!

Guest mandi1971 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeh we've had all the guilt and how far away it is and how will anyone ever see us as it's so expensive to visit etc.I feel bad as I'm very close to my family but I have to put my immediate family first. My dogs only 1 year old and I'm horrified at how much he's gonna cost us but I couldn't imagine life without him now,just have to see how our saving goes as we don't have a house to sell. We are also hoping for Perth,darrens a Plumber and we got SS, lodged our visa a few weeks ago,so things are going pretty fast for is right now. I haven't a clue on areas yet,I like Rockingham but so does almost every brit going lol. It'll be like little Britain soon :tongue: We have 3 kids aged 20,15,8 You'll have to keep in touch,there's a few of us planning to do that so we have some friends once we are out there,God knows we're gonna need them Good luck lodging your visa today,hope it all goes well for you Mandi xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
