I there [] I’m actually in the good old UK – been here almost 5 years now but kept my house in Sydney. Lucky as I wouldn’t get back in now the market has sky rocketed. Just built a new home on the property from 12,000 miles away with Masterton. Great experience and no hassles with them. Cost me $185K and the property is now valued at $800K Will have to rent it now till I get back (Christmas 2004). I work for BP plc in their new Group Compliance & Ethics as a PA to the Head of the Group. Very demanding – only in it 3 weeks and I’m zonked from the amount of work this lady puts out each day (American) but I hope it will settle down soon and I’ll start to enjoy it. Moved from Mergers & Acquisitions after 3 years in that Department. I am renting here so dead money My partner is in IT (Programmer) but no work for 2 years. Considering bus driving now so we can get him into OZ! Really enjoy the forum and have learnt a lot too. Would appreciate advice on whether to sell (property is at WPH) and buy cheaper as well as a place on the GC but not sure what to do. Mortage is $185K. Feedback appreciated. Great to be able to communicate with Aussies
