Goodluck hope the move goes well. Its funny cause we might be moving to Ireland as we have no-one to sponser us. We are in the process of applying for residency, so hopefully we will be back soon. Not looking forward to moving to Ireland though. Where about will you be moving too? The website sounds good.

Hi I'm originally from Zimbabwe. Baby75 no I've never lived in Ireland before, my husband is from there although hasn't lived there for over a decade. Feeling really sad about having to leave Oz. This isn't the best time of year to go from lovely blue sky's to freezing weather. Its the second time I've had to move countries.

it is cold alright but its a lovely place other than that although i do hope you get to stay in Sydney as things are not so good here with our health system, there are hints in a property crash as the house prices are very expensive sales have been through the roof but in the last 6 months they have fallen and people aren't buying. you husband might know this from talking to family here if he does were abouts from Ireland is your husband from.

Hi Baby75

My husband lived in Wexford, that interesting about the property's there. We have no idea about Ireland as hubby's family doesn't stay in touch with us. So its interesting to hear about the property. I agree Ireland is beautiful but alot different from Africa.

Ah wexford lovely place actually get very good weather in the summer. ild deffiently check out the ecomony here its a bit hit and miss at the moment. RTE.ie Search the prices are falling but my friend went to get a mortgage to buy and her mortgage adviser has told her not to buy as the market is to unstable he told her to wait a year or 6 months. so could be good for some one moving here get something good for your money .

ah Byo, Zimbabwe, now we know why there is not much to do community wise for you. The bonus of moving to Ireland is you will have an absolute ball and EVERYONE is friendly, chatty and wise, yes the weather is cold in the winter, but just think....................................no funnel webs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can sleep safely at night and not worry a single iota

The very best of luck to you Byo

Hey Byo, i would see one if i were in Sydney!!! as i'm terrified of spiders, i have an eye for them and i spot them everywhere, even if i walk into a room and there's the tinsiest winsiest newborn spider hiding - i will see it straight away, it's like a primal fear, so the mutant Aussie ones will always be in my view!!!
