Thanks for that!

I'm more keen on how the market is at the moment..hope there's someone out there who can shed a light.

Any other info is welcome ofcourse...

 

Thanks Steven

I have worked in car sales at a dealership for 4 years and the trade has always been steady with about 45 sales per month and plenty of profit in each sale too.I have often thought about opening my own small car yard but it's finding the right spot of land that's the problem!

Cheers Sharon

I have sent you a private message

Good luck guy's.Try not to get too stressed out!!!You will love your new life here!

We did our first year in this house and it was the best start anyone could have possibly had.The landlord is great and the house and area are just fantastic!We felt like we were on holiday every day we spent there!Glad you guys enjoyed it too!xx

We have a 2 storey house that has a bedroom,bathroom and lounge downstairs that we let out occasionally to help people out for a few weeks.We are in Port noarlunga.

thanks for that.please keep us posted of any more interest,the gig is still not deffo yet as my mate has to create enough interest for the promoter

we need to spread the word to make it happen.

If you remember the band from the 70's/80's in the UK called The Jam then this could be of interest to you!Original bass player Bruce Foxten formed a band called "From The Jam" to bring back to life the former band's music.They are touring Autralia but had not secured a gig in South Australia.Thankfully an avid fan and close friend of ours has been in touch with the tour manager and has preliminarily booked the Gov at Hindmarsh on Wednesday 6th Feb 2013.In order for this to happen we are trying to gather feedback as to how many people would be interested in going to see them.We saw them in the UK a few years back and they were fantastic!!If you may be interested you can go to their facebook page and comment or like it or please let us know and we can pass any thoughts on.Thanks in advance Jam fans!!!

She is sold to the lovely Lou and Rory!!!!!

Darren,we will happily give you the support as well as the room to rent.We have a great circle of friends to introduce you too as well.You will not be alone when you get here!!!

Due to us both having company cars now we are selling our lovely little Festivia.She was born in 1998 and has done only 123,000K's.We gave her some new brake pads,CV joints,3 months rego and a new battery to get her ready for her new owners.She has air conditioning,power steering,a 6CD changer and she is a 5 speed manual in white.PM if you want any more details.We are asking for $2750.Mick and Sharon

Hi Sharon,I work for a large Ford dealer in Adelaide and the company we use for finance is St.George but I know they are asking for quite large deposits for the newbies here with no Australian credit rating but I am told the rates are very competitive.Sharon.x:eek:

Good luck guys.Hope to see you there.x

There is Nick[The Tomatoes]on here.He is great and a lot of PIA members use him.He is mobile but he is a pleasure to have in the house and really reasonable on the pricing.Sharon.x

Come round to ours and get drunk with us!!!Hehe!!

Mmmmm...difficult one,we are in the same position.Maisie doesn't like anyone but us but we need a break.On the other hand we are so stressed when we leave her that we don't enjoy ourselves!!!

Thanks everyone,I will look them up.

We have been here just over a year and had to take our Maisie to the vet because she had an ulcer on her eye.We got charged so much and we will have to take her back a few times we were wondering if anyone can recommend a decent company for pet insurance for the future.

Hi Charl,we used a company called Ambler Collins.It is an Australian guy who owns it and they have been around for at least 14 years when my hubby first got his visa.They have an office in London.Good luck.Sharon:biggrin:

We have just opened all our presents and the turkey is in the oven.Hope it brightens up a bit for bucks fizz and turkey and cranberry sandwiches on Port Noarlunga beach later!!!!Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Well you have got me thinking now and it's driving me mad!!!I can't remember the cost of things in the UK.I guess it's not so much of a bad thing because when you first get here you are constantly comparing things.Something will pop in my head though and when it does I will let you know.

We have just had our 1 year anniversary since we arrived,and what a year it has been!I met my husband when he was back from Australia on a residents return visa.His first words were...I live in Australia.My first thoughts were....well this will be a fling because I don't want to live there!Shortly later he sold his house in Victoria and said he would stay in the UK for me.3 years later we both lost our great jobs within 2 months of eachother so I said go on then,I will give it a go.we arrived here with just 2 weeks left on his return visa with plans to live in Glenelg.I hated him for 3 months for bringing me here.I had never felt so lonely.It was like you were grieving for a loss of someone.We had ended up in an eco tent at West Beach camp site as all the rentals were full with it being so close to Christmas.Mick had said we wouldn't need a hire car as from what he remembered of being there in 1999 everything was within walking distance or easily done on the bus.When you are jet lagged,tired and constantly crying everything seems so hard.I remember doing our first food shop at Woolworths in Glenelg and we had too many bags to get on the bus.Mick went to get us a taxi and it took him an hour.I just layed down on the floor in the car park and sobbed!After about 10 days a kind soul on here took us into their spare room in Port Noarlunga[which I found so pretty compared to were we were ]and soon after this we got our long term rental on the esplanade at Moana.Hubby has been in work since we got here after getting chatting to someone who owns a building company and he loves it and they love him.I am about to start my fourth job in January after all kind of work place issues which I won't go into too much detail but I was bullied in one of my jobs.Since we have been here we have lost Mick's step dad of 30 years and my Mum has had cancer in one of her kidneys.There is no doubt that it is the hardest thing I have ever done but I have no regrets now.I think it just takes time and if my new job works out life will now feel very close to perfect .

There is a company that have 2 gorgeous yellow Kombi vans but I can't think of their name!Aghhh!One takes the bride and groom and the other takes the guests.We have seen them around the Port Noarlunga area and I have told Mick If he wants a divorce then that's fine so we can get re-married and have the Kombi van's next time!!!!1

RSL is more of an adults club.It is family friendly but not really got much for the kids.It stands for returned services leage.

We may make it but we are volunteering on the Bunnings sausage sizzle for Port Noarlunga RSL club.If anyone is looking to join a great little club in the south then give us a shout !
