Mara Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 If the sisters 'behave' I acknowledge them, if they "misbehave" sorry, don't know them from a bar of soap.... Jackie has valuable knowledge regarding formal or official emigration as well as moving your money...so ensure you have lots of questions for her!

Stranded Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi AllThe stranger is back today. Soooo excited about the Coffee club again. Thanks Serendipity!!For those RPL Hero's, you will get the support from us RPL Expat's (Those who did it and the family support structures).You will be scared and relieved after talking to all the RPL expat's. Hubby took 3 months to complete his, of which he took one month leave and spent full time on it. The word RPL was banned from our house in that period as tempers flaired instantly. It felt like it took forever, and cuased more domestics than building and revamping a kitchen(And that is alot!)See you all soon, and remember that "all things in life pass" EVEN RPL ....

MariaV Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi My Name is Mariav we are in the process of immigrating as well to Brisbane, and i would love to come and have coffee and meet a few people in the same situationHope this is okRegardsMariavDue to the great success of the last get together, and the sudden demand for another one I have decided to run with it and use the same layout as Stranded did before. Date is booked with the DROS already, based on requests of an early Feb get together, before certain forumites depart on thier new adventures.Lets try beat the last record of 21ppl and Gremlins!!!CONFIRMED "COFFEE" CLUB ON THE EAST RANDDate: Sunday 7 February 2010 @ 13h00 Venue: DROSEden Meadows Shopping CentreCnr. Van Riebeeck & Modderfontein RoadEdenvale - near Greenstone MallTel: 011-452 1882Seating: Upstairs, there is a secure play area for the Gremlins downstairs & outsideInvites: All on forum big (Adult) & small (Gremlin)RSVP: Here on the topic, with a head count (Adults & Gremlins)PLEASE PM ME YOUR NAMES FOR THE TAGSFormat: Will be the same as before, seating will be upstairs with tags and numbers for billing purposes. What happens on a coffee club normally: Very informal, meeting, those that want to eat or drink, do so, others save for the expensive flights to Aus It normally starts a bit stiff, as people are strangers to one another, People talk to one another about how far they are in the process, People share advice, People share their fears, People laugh And then no one wants to go home in the end! Look forward to meeting some old and new Forumites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
