portlaunay Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 just a thought, the brits in perth must be highly qualified people judging by the posts on here, no riff raff anywhere. Considering the process to obtain a visa and the roles listed on the SOL I'd concur. I don't remember seeing 'daytime telly watching benefits sponger' as one of the listed occupations.

SJT Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well we have just had our mortgage pre-approved, so we are upping the house searching a bit. Went to 6 viewings in an hour on Sat, they do things so differently here, but getting excited about getting our own place and the fur babies that we can then get.

It's really uplifting to read about the difficulties you've overcome, your tenacity and positivity. Bloomin well done to you. Thanks Porty I cannot believe we have been here 9 months already, time has flown by. It has been a lot harder than I anticipated even though I thought I had a pretty good idea of what was coming, but I really do feel like as a family we are settling in. I even had some health issues which my doctor took me seriously enough to sit me down and listen to me, and within a week I had all the answers and medication I needed to sort me out. This site has helped a lot, even if it is just banter, its great to know others that have been through the same thing, even if their endings or feelings are different, hearing someone's else's view does help. I truly would not change a thing we have done in this process (other than bring one of the fur babies we left behind), the fact that we had to pull out all the stops to make this work, makes me appreciate our new life even more.

cocolevi Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I went on the PP face book page yesterday, I know it is FB but I just couldn't believe how rude some people were to the posters, not just rude, nasty. Why do some people feel the need to be like it some poor woman just asked how easy it was to get to one part of Perth airport they ripped her to bits. I think I'll stick to here x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkis2000 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I saw that too. It's disgusting that people think that can "talk" to others that way. I have noticed more and more posts like that on that thread and am seriously considering leaving the group. The quality of advice and the members is far far better on here.

Why do some people feel the need to be like it some poor woman just asked how easy it was to get to one part of Perth airport they ripped her to bits. I think I'll stick to here x I read that too. I've never done Facebook groups or forums before this and a lot of what I've seen saddens me a bit. I don't know why people are like that? I didn't see her original question, I just saw the post where this guy belittled her and said people like her made him ashamed to be a pom. It got pretty nasty, then some comments were deleted :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think all she wanted to know the best way to get to the airport to pick someone up and how much the parking was likely to be. It was an inoffensive question and as someone pointed out in support of her, if you've never been somewhere, or are a little nervous at going somewhere new for the first time then these threads are supposed to be for you to be able to ask questions. Any questions. Lets hope she finds her way here, if she hasn't already. And if she has then she'll know that this is a forum where you can ask anything and get helpful and supportive answers!
