Happy little Vegemite Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks, can you post it instead ? Our whole application was paper based, so we just posted it to our CO. They must've taken a copy and then sent it back to us straight away. Many congratulations on the offer on the post office odies! Shame that it's lower than you want, but if it's enough for what you need and won't leave you short, cutting your losses to get the end result that you want could be worth it in the bigger picture... Edited April 6, 2014 by Happy little Vegemite Forgot to say congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you all do in Perth in winter ? It is perfect dog walking weather - on the beach and cool and breezy. I love Perth winter as you can go for walks without getting too hot. We also usually go down to Margaret River for 4/5 nights. Visit some wineries, pick up some treats from the cheese factory, choc factory and things then back to the cottage and night in front of a real fire with some good red and the treats. Oh, and i still swim most days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you all do in Perth in winter ? Light the firepit, toast marshmallows, eat lovely stews, enjoy sitting outside even more, no flies! We go to the races at Belmont in winter, good day out! I got second place at The Grand National..... OH is waiting for Everton Arsenal to come on, we have just finished dinner, enjoying a glass of Emberton Merlot.

portlaunay Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hectic Sunday. We had a last minute call from a friend needing a play day for her daughter. Took the dog for a walk on the beach at 7am, met friends at Sth Freo Growers market and then headed home to meet friends. Afternoon meeting of the commissioning panel for the school artist in residence application; drew up a brief and lots of ideas. Cooked Osso Buco (with milk), drank too much red wine, more friends arrived unannounced, drank more red wine, baked a cherry cake with the kids (hic! oh dear), kids just gone to bed, I'll not be far behind them. Awesome Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshowdeb Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Trying to enjoy a lie in on the first day of the school holidays but I'm too excited. First of the shipping companies coming today. We've valued the non sentimental stuff so I'll find soon just how much we'll be taking with us. I expect the quotes to be high enough for us to decide to buy new when we get there but who knows..? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJT Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Sideshowdeb, we thought that, we were only going to bring a few things and then buy brand new here. So wished we had brought everything, even down to our camping tables and chairs, if you have room in the container then my advice would be to bring it with you. You might be surprised at how expensive stuff is here. A couple of my girlfriends have also said they got rid of lots of stuff which thought they would never use again, but have since regretted getting rid of stuff. I gave away my ski coat as I thought I would never use it here, and I even wish I had brought it, obviously not for the snow, but to keep the wind and rain out. It is so exciting having them come out and as I found most of the agents wanted to do it themselves and got excited for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few tips: Most modern houses here have walk in / built in wardrobes Electricals can be cheap here - particularly TV's, but white goods - particlularly the better brands - very expensive Bedding can be expensive Houses are usually bigger so need more furniture to stop them feeling empty.

Happy little Vegemite Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Getting ready to go to work, oh no, hang on, that was last week, nothing much to do today now that I am temporarily retired until I start my new job in Oz, yaaaaaaay!

Sideshowdeb Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 We've been planning this for so long there's a few big things that would have been replaced a couple of years ago if we hadn't had the move in mind. I'm definitely hanging on to the warm stuff and the waterproofs though x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshowdeb Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 We've lived in new builds with integral storage so we don't have any wardrobes, sideboards, dressers or anything like that. Son has grown out of his bed and has been promised new in Oz and I can't wait to see the back of our dining set and sofa. I've heard about the bedding a few times now so if we're going to have a bit of space I might stock up. Thanks for the tips Deb x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshowdeb Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Pickfords have just left and quoted half what I had in my budget for shipping. Their timescale fits perfectly with what we wanted too... Off to buy a lottery ticket now, because it's feeling like my lucky day :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
