Chardy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Still in a mad panic about where we will live after the house is sold before we go to Oz, don't want to pay 6 months rental for 13 weeks plus the stupid agency fees. In the background trying to convince the missus a flight on 20th Sept would be good (nothing to do with the Singapore GP of course !):wink::laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the 2nd one too Derham! :biggrin: Last night I told my sister, I was dreading this, that we were hoping to move to Oz to work and live. I shouldn't have worried. she was only concerned about who would run interference with our Dad for her as she doesn't really speak to him, not civilly anyway. This morning I told my godmother, another one I dreaded telling, for different reasons. She is abroad at the moment but my sisters are joining her next week. she was really positive about it. It was a huge weight off my mind listening to her. She is one of the very few my kids will really really miss if we go......... Now I have to find out about how she might get to visit us if and when we get over there...........I feel a lot lighter now. :embarrassed: :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygirl Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Lost 8lbs this week so well chuffed - My 2 dogs are hiding as they are worn out from all the walking we have been doing. Still not heard about the AQF III. Mr & Mrs Webweasel, I am very jealous, but hope you have a fantastic time and cannot wait to hear your thoughts.

spamjam Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Shippers have been here packing our house up today, ready to load into container with the car tomorrow - they were very efficient!! Now sitting in my living room looking at all the boxes and furniture all packed up and feeling a bit wobblyI have to admit! Excited about going and meeting up again with my OH who has been in australia for almost 2 months now, but very sad to be leaving our home and family behind. And terrified about it all too! It's all starting to seem a bit real now! Flying out next monday to Melbourne, not long now! I have to say this thread has been really useful in keeping me going, seeing the little things that everyone is doing to get closer to making the big move, and adding in each little step we have made really helps to keep it in perspective - great stuff! :-) Keep going everyone!

TheGrahams Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Got the email to confirm the children are offically Aus citizens:biggrin: Whoop Whoop! This is supposed to be simple procedure, but as hubby was born in Papau New Guniea its not that simple, we have been waiting for this news for 3 months almost! Felt so great this morning when I read the email, we all had a happy jig around the house! Its weird though, as you want to shout your good news from the rooftops, but most freinds and family don't want to know as it means it really happening But we are over the moon, just me left to wait for a reply on now, only another 4 months to wait:rolleyes: Also was going to car boot tomorrow but the showers down here (in a drought area!) are monsoon like today, so I think we will wait till the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
