Guest tandcmum Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 just said goodbye (well not goodbye, just see you in a bit longer than normal) to my parents. This is much harder than I imagined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Tibenham Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 just said goodbye (well not goodbye, just see you in a bit longer than normal) to my parents. This is much harder than I imagined Guess that's where we'll be lucky - I only have my brother and his wife to say goodbye to and as we only see them every 3 months it won't be quite so hard. We decided to wait on making the decision to emigrate until after mum died as we knew that we wouldn't be able to leave before then. Good luck with your final preparations - not long now until 27th :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spamjam Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Tandcmum I know exactly how you feel! Just about managing to keep it together saying goodbye to friends at work and leaving our home yesterday after the packers left, but I'm dreading the airport trip on Monday and having to say goodbye to my parents, it is really hard. I feel sorry for whoever I have to sit next to on the plane, I dread to think what I'll be like for most of the trip and feel quite tearful just thinking about it. Keep going chuck, it'll be ok and I think once you're on your way and landed in Australia it'll be exciting, at least thats what I keep telling myself so I hope it's true!

TheGrahams Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hubby realised that his cousin knows a libraian at our library, and lo and behold we got her number and yes a birth certificate has been found in the photocopier :biggrin: Thank god for that! Now I can sleep tonight, phew! So what I have I actualy done today to get into Oz and not hinder it, sold some more books. The kids are starting to panic though, as everything I look at I am assessing wether we can sell it. I didn't realise how openly ruthless I was being until my youngest (he's 3) said 'Mummy, I love these wellies, I don't want to sell them!' Bless him, I'm not going to sell the clothes off their backs, (yet, :wink:not until summer at least!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also bagging up final bits of toys that are being donated to friends ready for them to pick up, and then i will do whatever else i can find to do.My corner of stuff to take to charity or recycle is coming along nicely a week tomorrow :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewebweazel Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 We landed in Perth on Monday afternoon and the Weazel Clan are now Ozzie Permanent resisdents :em3600: We spent yesterday chilling out at my Sister place in Two rocks. Mrs Weazel drank a large amount of cocktails with my Sis + BIL and landed up pretty well inebriated, I had abstain apart from 2 ciders as I had to drive:cry:. We also had a BBQ and mananged to scoff what felt like half a sheep, Lamb tasted fantastic. Today have spent looking at houses and I have to say feel a bit shell shocked I really cannot believe the prices some people are asking for properties that I wouldn't expect a dog to want to live in! Either Ozzies are mad or I will have to adjust my expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveg1980 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi Guys, Well the my migration agent is putting together 1st part of 175 visa application, and I have supplied her with the supplementary information. It was a bit awkward, as my mother and I don't speak, and she wouldnt give my any information regarding her husband (step dad) or his daughters.... despite my sister asking for me. My bathroom is getting tilled , and photographs are being taken today for letting agent as looking to rent out property when/if we move. I keep feeling as if I have forgotten something hmmmm...

Guest kerry19 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi all, Dave I don't know whether I'm right or not but couldn't you go to the registry office to find out if your finding it difficult? Today I have been sat looking out the window at the rain thinking "this time next year....." (hopefully!!) Still waiting for the skills assessment to come back, still waiting for someone to buy my house! I've made list of what we are definitely taking with us and tried to work out if it's worth taking our car, that I can't decide because it's making my head spin looking at all the details! kerry x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
