I must admit that we haven't done anything terribly exciting. We have been doing the usual family visits that one must do when one has been away for so long, as well as popping in to see a few friends here and there. But, for the most part, we have been doing admin stuff. Sounds exciting doesn't it? Well, it is as exciting as it sounds.
This past week we sorted out:
- bank accounts
- medicare cards
- a tax file number for myself
- registering at a doctor
- registering with recruitment agencies
We are also in the process of sorting out car insurance for the little Toyota Dane's dad is lending me, and exchanging our UK driver's licenses.
My little car...
Today, we had the fun journey of driving into Brisbane - a good 50km's away - for a 15 minute meeting with my recruitment agent, just for her to tell me she doesn't actually have anything on offer at the moment. So, the job hunt isn't really off to a good start.
On the other hand, Dane should be starting work on Thursday this week. He needs to sit a test to renew his electrical license, but at least he can do it online and doesn't have to go to night class like he thought he would. So, at least one of us will be bringing some money in soon. I may just become a lady of leisure....
