Thanks V,
it's not a huge issue, but it was something not considered. Fortunately, the relative in question is scared of spiders, so maybe he wont want to come anyway!!!

Scottishcelt;
NO, don't say it; not every scouser has a family member with a criminal record; most of us, but not all. LOL

[scottishcelts]

hey n.m i'm saying nothing, my lips are firmly sealed! same goes for us Scots too!

Hey the only reason i joke about scousers is i lived in Torquay, Devon for 10 years and the place is hoaching with scousers and us Jocks, so you tend to stick together and battle it out with the southern softies lol.

I lived in the cotswolds for almost 3 years
I reckon we lot stick together cos the softie shandy drinkers can't talk proper moiii luvveerrrr

NM please can you give more information about the "spider situation"????? I hate spiders!

[Tiffani]

There is no spider situation. Really. PLEASE PLEASE do not google "spiders in Australia" it's pure fear-mongering LOL you'll end up regretting it (see ScottishCelts hehe)

There are spiders here And some are big and ugly and some are poisonous and some are lethal, but that's the case pretty much everywhere.

Let me in......
Tiff is right, the spiders are no big deal, really......
and you would only panic if you read up on them!!!!
I saw 1 spider when i was there; it was big and flat and harmless. It was no more dangerous than the ones in the uk.
There are chemical ways of ridding the house of them, but to be honest, spiders keep flies away! and moths, which really freak me out
I have heard that some of them can give a nasty bite; but tbh, most are not deadly, and anyhoodle, would you deliberately get close enough to 1 to let it nibble? Me neither
Take Care

Or contact another agent....but definitely get expert advice.

Watcha,

You can either go to the members list at the top of the forum page, find their name, click on their name and on the right hand side of the page you'll see Contact Info so click either private message or email.

or

find a post of theirs, click on their name and then a menu will come up giving you the option to PM/email.

Easy peasey......

Hi LetMeIn, mm everything Tiffany says if true! I have done squillions of research on the pesky crettins as i am your number one big scaredy pants! Anyway after nearly giving myself a corony i came to the conclusion that they were there first and if we want to live there we have to live WITH them and the biggest and bestest; no matter how big or nasty they are they will not stop me from moving there, so that's what basically the research ends at. Sure there's no harm, if not good, in looking at them to figure out which one is which but if you want to live in Oz so much then don't bother and move there and deal with it!

Better said that done as i'm not there yet (banks fault) - can't sell the house!

To be honest i am more worried about doing the flights with 3 kids under ten! aaarrrggghhh
