    Good luck with your move! I'm from Cumbria so definitely understand on the rain front ! Lol....hope everything goes smoothly. X
  6. Hi, thanks for the advice, I am actually looking into volunteering. I'm prepared to do it for as long as needed. I had an interview yesterday so waiting to hear from that. I have 9 years retail experience, working for a homeware store.
  7. Hi there, we arrived twelve months ago and it is only now that we are starting to feel settled. It's such a big move and I must say that for us the first year has been an emotional roller coaster! It is hard...but we do feel it's all worth it. The kids settled faster than us, we underestimated them so much! Alls good...apart from the fact that I still don't have work! But Craig does and has done since the second week we arrived, so not all bad! if you need any advice ect, or just want a chat, please don't hesitate to message me. welcome to Adelaide Sam
  8. Hi there, just wondering if anyone could offer any advice. I was thinking about studying to work at a school as a teaching assistant, but can't seem to locate a tafe near to me (seaford) that is offering this course (education assistant)...any advice would be apreciated. Many thanks
  9. Hi andrew, was just wondering if you could tell me if it's possible to get a mortgage on a 489 visa? Thanks
  10. We got our ambulance cover from the post office $155 for the family
  11. Wow....exciting times ahead. Try to keep focused on that, I know it's easier said than done mind. I must admit when our container left it felt like a huge weight was lifted! It was dealt with! Sorted!! Also I thought oh **** we are actually doing this!!! Ahhhhhhhhh! Good luck on Monday
  12. Hi there, good luck with your move. We arrived this time last year, if you have any questions just ask xx
  13. I would say get it in the uk, it just seems straight forward in the uk. Here as already stated you have to do the whole p plates ect
  14. Hi there, it does seem to be true that the job situation isn't great. But I do think it depends how your particular skill is doing! My husband has been in work since the second week of arriving (he's a carpenter) but some of our friends have really struggled. I myself have just managed to get a small part time job in retail after working for a large department store for 9years back home. We have been here 12 months. Do plenty of research before you come.
  15. Congratulations....if you have any questions I'm sure many people will be happy to help
  16. Hi, I have just had my 2 children at the dentist today. I take them to port noarlunga, pay $43 per child and that's it for the year I think. They are lovely dentists, so great with children. Give them a call I'm sure they will advise you. Hope you get sorted and save some money....ps we are temp on a 489
  17. My daughter also loves build a bear....she will be very happy to visit the one here. The staff are lovely xx
  18. Hi there.....I'm pleased it was useful for you yeah I totally understand what you mean! And all I can tell you is that there have been times here where we have been eating into our savings and you think oh no! What have we done!? But then you only need to take a look around see what a life we have here and it doesn't seem too bad! There were times when I thought have we made the right decision and have missed people and things, but life here is so lovely for us, and we seem to have such less stress! Christmas was so chilled out and I thought I wouldn't like it! But I really did, and because the kids are off school and the sun is shining there were no January blues to be seen! it IS a tough ride....but in my opinion a worthwhile one.
  19. hi sue, you seem to be doing a lot better, I don't think we give ourselves enough credit! It's a hard move and takes time. Good luck for the future xx
  20. ah I've already applied for that one, thank you though
  21. I can't find it online thank you for thinking of me though, was really good of you. It's so hard when you are looking constantly and are never given a break....xx
  22. Thanks so much....I will take a look online now
  23. Hi, I think it probably depends on the rental to be honest. And how many people are interested, if it's been on for awhile (which not many seem to be) then I'm sure it's possible, but there is a lot of competition for rentals, well in my experience anyway x
