After a request to update my thread, there have been a lot of changes in my situation. I was waiting for the Oz govt to approve my disability pension, which I had applied for in August 2016 due to being diagnosed with arthritis in my knee, hip and back and being unable to work or even sit in a normal chair for very long!! OK so they knocked back my application saying I could get an operation for replacement knee and hip. I appealed with doctors letter stating that there is no way on gods green earth that I would get an operation within the defined 2 years under the pathetic public health system. So anyway they knocked the appeal back stating that I wasn't disabled enough. So now I am waiting on a decision from the administrative appeals tribunal after appealing the decision, again with a doctors letter. I am currently getting unemployment benefits but cannot leave the country as they will stop my payments if I do. Under the disability pension I can leave the country for 30 days a year and can apply to live overseas permanently, also it is considerably more money.
Sooo, the lovely girl with 2 kids I was talking to on line stopped talking to me, obviously thinking that I was not going to come over and keep her and kids in the style she wanted to become accustomed to!! I think I probably dodged a bullet there! Those that have read my threads are probably aware my Thai ex wife of 7 years left me when the money ran out and kept the house we built near seka.
I am now talking to a really nice Thai girl who is a bit closer to my age, owns a house and a farm in a village close to Udon and buying a condo in Bangkok. She has 2 degrees and works as an accountant in Bkk. This has been a great relationship via text and as she has more than me I can assume she wants me for a lasting relationship, not my money.
I'll try and keep you informed.....
