We were granted our 176 visa on 28th May and though we fully intended to move out in July this year once we had calmed down and had a proper think we put it back a bit. Nothing to do with chickening out but mainly because I am 22 weeks pregnant with number 2 (not planned but very much wanted!) and then the stress of moving out there, settling our three year old, having the baby and finding a job we figured that it was all a bit too much to do ,so are staying put where I have a support network of family & friends and where hubby is in a secure job. So we will move out March 09 which will give us a bit of time to look for work and to sort the house out - also hubby is really lucky in that he has been given a 5 year career break when he leaves so that gives us a safety net (which we hopefully wont need!) Thats what we felt happiest doing other people might have taken the gamble but we didnt want to live off all out savings and be forced to come back to the UK. Sorry for waffling on had nobody to talk to but a three year old all day!! hehe!! Oh and we are moving to Perth! Take care Sarah

House prices here aren't sky-rocketing like the old day and having a job in the UK to fall back on is a bonus should you decide not to stay. I'm sure you'll make a good go of it though. Perth is a popular place for Brits to migrate to. Hopefully, by March next year the currency exchange rate will also be much better for those coming over here than it presently is. Things have risen slightly these last few days and hopefully the trend continues. Thanks for sharing your good news with us all. It's a great feeling when the long wait is over. Now you've got plenty of time to panic. Paul.
