Nilo Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi RodzYep CR card is fine as walking around with cash would, lets just say not clever.How's your app going?Nilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodz Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi NiloThanx i thought as much.Still waiting for my kids passports.The strikes here has just slowed the process down a bit. I am expecting them by the end of this week. The lady handling my application has sent me all the paperwork so she is waiting on me. I must commend my future employer as he is quite sympathetic towards the passport issue.How things in Brissie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi RodzWe've had a few rather cold days and poor Des is just getting over his second bout of flu. We're deffinitely not used to cold weather having lived on a tropical island for the past 3 years. Amazing how one acclimatize. I am sure things will be better next winter as we coped realy well with Jhb winters before.Brizzie's fine. It's home already. We feel at home here and I can not say it enough, we love feely safe and secure.Good luck with the passports, yep you gotta love South Africa!?!?!Have ya sold the car yet?Nilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodz Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Looks like the entire southern hemisphere has been experiering the cold. Its been awfully cold here in Maritzburg. I have been here 4 yrs and its the first winter its been so cold.Thanx.I will phone them everyday until they spit them out.No not yet. There is a guy that is interested but he must first see if he can get the finance.This new credit act that came in on the 1 june is making some havock here.We are moving out of the house on Friday.Luckily i could secure me a month to month rental place.I battled a bit as most of the places wanted me to sign a long lease.If push came to shove and desperation set in i would have had to take it and just forfeit my deposit when i move out in 2 months time.Did Des complete that job at the airport?

Nilo Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 HiNo they will be there for quite some time as they are only doing domestic now and still have to go to International. He's not working night shift though they completed that bit. He's on day shift now six to two but they put in an extra hour every day now and are working saturdays for the next month or two to get the job finished. Hope your plans work out. Great to have an understanding boss isn't it?Nilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilo Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 We bought a little corolla I think a 1986 and she runs like a dream. Dale (our son) and I share her.Sounds like a very good price, askk him to include safety certificate (roadworthy) and if you can pay it off. That would give you a good jump in the right direction.Sleep tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodz Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey Rod,Sounds like an aweful amount of money. Have you tried IOM?TracyHi TracyThats for a family of 4 with emirates. Do you think that its too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Please try IOM -there's a link somewhere on one of the main pages here.They have an arrangement with SAA and you can take 40kgs of goodies each. I did check their prices from Jhb to Perth and Jhb to Brisbane, and to Brissy was a bit more expensive.I flew Emirates last year and they caught me with a very long stopover in Dubai.
