SaffanZimbo Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 we were in Perth for our reccie! Time has flown by and looking forward to our move later this year. First container quote visit booked for 2nd May. The girls will have their last UK Easter Egg Hunt in the garden on Sunday and no chance of them melting like they did last year (much to the amusement of our hosts who got the girls Aussie chocolate eggs which did not melt!). This time next year.... we will have been happily settled in Perth for approx 7 months and (hopefully!) will have survived our first proper summer since leaving SA/Zim in 2000!

dxboz Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Wow how time flies. I cannot believe you have been in your current job a year VS. I remember you talking about starting there - seems like a couple of months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest10912 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 This time last year everything was much the same for me as it is this time this year. Same house, same job, same for OH. That is not very exciting is it? This time next year, I hope that I will have sold the house in UK and bought the house in Australia. Lets see..

Happy little Vegemite Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 This time last year I had just waved off a dear friend from work who immigrated to Sydney and arranged to go and visit them for Christmas as my OH wasn't on board with the idea of immigrating ourselves. Now, here we are, in sunny WA! This time next year we will all be happy and settled and will hopefully be preparing for MIL to come and visit us.

beandownunder Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 this time last year my darling oh was about to resit his IELTS after I booked the general test and he needed the academic, a year later we have the golden ticket but alas I feel no further forward at all. It appears everyone has their flight tickets or has an end date in mind and we have neither. Im a "do-er" whilst the oh is a "calculated thinker" quite frankly it's doing my head in. He's not keen on doing anything until after our reccie and I'm mega frustrated- October is ages away....... sorry rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkft Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 This time last year we had received a negative outcome on our skills assessment. Felt like the dream was over before it had enough got going.... A quick online Australian diploma and a re submission later and we have now booked our flights for the 29th July........

nikkiwd Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sorry Bean, must be so frustrating not being able to start planning and having a date to work towards. You should amend your flights in October to make them one way! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a tad jealous! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 This time last year I was waiting for the outcome of my skills assessment so was in limbo. Everything hung on getting a positive result - well we're here! Bean, October will be here before you know it. Hopefully OH will get the moving bug and you'll be here by this time next year!

Lovelylynds23 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 This time last year I never even imagined going on holiday (let alone emigrating) to Australia, and now I am waiting upon the results of my skills assessment and planning to move to Australia. It's so exciting, scary, nerve-wrecking and terrifying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hamed Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dear members.....I have two options to live in regional areas of the Perth city and Adelaide(not regional) as well.I am really dubious about which one I should choose...I am married and I have one child.If you you have any information please let me know....

Nikkis2000 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Hamed. Welcome to PP. I'm not well placed to answer your query and it might get a bit lost on this thread. Why don't you start a new thread in the Migration Issue forum and tell us a bit more about yourself and your situation. This is a very friendly site and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Guest Hamed Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes....Certainly...I'll do that....Thank you Nikkis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
