I don't know about Dylan's parents as he's not mentioned them.

Does anyone ever vote for the UK in the end?

Well I guess salbertini it depends on how much you earn. Smile

I used to spend around £50-£60 a week and its nearly £100 a week for 3 of us. We don't even eat much meat.

I was just wondering Sparkling, that was very random.

I think it was very obvious today that they will go. good luck to them. And looking out at the shitty weather outside I might be going too. Grin

I didn't think Lyndsey looked totally convinced. Sad

I hope we get a revisited for this couple and find that everything worked out for them. It's refreshing to watch an episode that didn't make me tut! Smile

Aw, loved them, I hope they have a really happy life together in Oz and we get to re-visit them.

Watching on a delay at the minute, but seem to have missed how they are able to go - is she a real teacher or a teaching assistant? Who is the primary visa applicant?

She is a primary school teacher Anne so she is going to be the main breadwinner.

Liked today's couple, was sadly excited as I used to live near the beach they showed them walking on at the start of the programme. In fact I met my DH at a pub which was just behind them, although its apartments now! Ah memories.

I think it may be a 'Revisited' today. Not sure about that.

Ooh hello, can I join a little bit please?

I don't always watch but am madly addicted to the programme...

Yes, some people do vote to stay at home in the end... Occasionally...

I'm just wondering what makes you tut?!

For me it's that they never have a clue how much property is worth (do your research people!!!) and are always stunned that a) their house is worth about £40,000 less than they expected; b) the house they want is way out of their budget and c) the cost of living is invariably about 400x higher than they thought.

And the people on the videos... Almost never say "we are so happy that you are doing something for you - can't wait for the holidays!" It's always "poor us, how can we ever cope without you, we will have no one to talk to and it's all your fault, selfish ones".

Of course Trazzle, you are most welcome. Smile

Tut at-

Pushy Mums making their DH's go when they don't want to.
Unrealistic expectations re money generally.
Nicky's home visits

Everything really......

Oh my biggest tut is when the main reason they want to go is for the "Outdoor Lifestyle".

Seriously, if you haven't had the inclination to go outside while living in the UK, then you won't have the inclination once you live in Australia. It is not a holiday.
