Emigration update – when do we go?

08/07/2014 | posted under: Emigrate

A beach in Western Australia

People keep asking me for an emigration update, so I though I'd write a post to tell you where we're at.We accepted an offer on our house back in May and the sale is slowly moving ahead. I'm hoping to have an exchange date in the next week as I think (hope) everything else is in place *touches wood frantically*. As soon as I have a completion date in my diary, I'm going to look into booking flights for a month later (Husband has to give 4 weeks' notice), but will . . . Keep Reading

I've written a special top five list, in honour of my new monthly column in Australia and New Zealand magazine.My top five reasons to emigrate to AustraliaThere are lots of reasons we decided to make the move, but these are our main ones:1) WeatherI HATE the cold.

As regular readers will know, later this year we're going to be making the move from the UK to Australia. This means long haul travel with twins who will be four and a baby just coming up to two.

When they decide to act up, trying to control them is so tricky (did you read about our trip to the dentists last year?)   . . . Keep Reading

Inexpensive tips and tricks to sell your home

03/06/2014 | posted under: Emigrate, Lifestyle

We did it! After months of hard work renovating our house ready to get it on the market, it was launched with a local estate agent a couple of weeks ago. The third people to view the property (just four days after it hit the market) put in an offer for the full asking price. They have no chain and are in a great financial position to move things forward quickly, so our Australian dream is going to become a reality very soon, hopefully! . . . Keep Reading
