Fitzer's wife here - am I the only one that has noticed how many of you hoping to go to Australia are with a nurse - just wondering if its the nurse or the tiler who wanted to go down under or both - and yes i'm a nurse too!!!
happy st pats to u all!!

how bizzare, my wifes a nurse too and im a tiler! Funny that.

We dont want to go down under though but if we did the nurse route is the one that would get us in instead oy me sitting for NVQ's or similar!

Ditto, daughter also is a nurse. None of us wants to go to Australia....


abskiing

see what I mean you must all b accident prone and spend loads of time in casualty!!!!!!!!!!

I am a tiler and my Ex wife was the nurse. We got accepted by the Australian immigration due to them wanting my wifes skills yet when she got her job she was only working 14 hours a week + overtime. I was working 5 -7 days a week and could have chosen a number of companies wanting my skills. Ahhh Happy days.

My mate has just moved back to the uk from oz, says its better in this country now. He was over there with his wife and kids fo 12 years...Grass isnt always greener....

my better half is a nurse it was a joint desicion to move better life for the littlins plus we have had some grief over here so the sooner were over there the better can't wait

Guess what !!! My wife is also a ........postwoman......doh!!!

Postman Pat and Postman Patricia what a pair.

My wife works in Pharmacy at the hospital.

Does that count?

(I don't want to go to Australia. It's far too nice here, what with the weather, chavs, looming banking crisis etc...)

Definitely a theme here, I'm a tiler and I like to dress up as a nurse!! oops!

my ex girlsfriend was a trainee nurse at the sheffield northern general hospital

Am sure she probably went on to become a sister

She was big enough

im a tiler now and i used to work in a building where nurses work -a hospital- but it wasn't in australia! i think there is a theme developing in this thread

Ric - if your back aches maybe u should see a nurse!!!!!!!!!

Im a tiler and my missis is a nurse, are visa is in oz now getting processed, i cant wait, lived there in 2000, just loved it

Be good to hear from any tilers already over there

Gaz

think its safe to say that there is alot of tilers out there that are, or have been with nurses so that says to me either you are all mad after nurses uniforms or nurses are obssessed with having things clean and tiles are easier to clean - wonder which it is........... Fitzers wife

im a tiler and my wife is a nurse too,but i dont want to move to australia as im already here ! GM where do you want to move to?

hoping to go to Brisbane alex where bouts are you

i live in mildura,which is 500 km north of melbourne on the banks of the murray river and i have been working all year in broken hill ,300 km north from here.
there seems to be a perception in the uk that aust stops at the eastern capital cities,and perth,while a lot of country areas dont seem to get a second look.i live in a town of 40000 ,great lifestyle, cheap houses(400000 will buy 4 bed ,2 bath, nearly new with a pool)and 1000 new houses being built a year. this would be typical of many regional areas.Plus you get bonus immigration points for moving to regional areas.And i should mention australias best kept secret-adelaide-great beaches,climate ,almost affordable houses and plenty of work for tilers

im a tiler and i tiled the floor in the staff canteen at darlington hospital last year lots of well fit nurses (had to put all my tools and mats in a hospital laundry trolley for the 20 minute walk to place of work everyday through spooky looking underground corridoors everyday) does that count ...i,ll get my coat
