Final stages

It was our last expats meet this side of the water yesterday. It felt strange. From the first meeting we went to we are the only ones now left other than a couple that seem to have disappeared into thin air. Now it's our turn and I'm pretty stressed. I'm not knowingly stressed but keep getting continuous mouth ulcers and am not sleeping.

My head keeps spinning with everything left to do. I'm still waiting for calls back from HR, the bank, the hospital and numerous other places. I started sorting things out really early but no one else seems to bother that I only have three weeks left. I just don't want to have to make calls from Oz to the UK at stupid times because people don't get their finger out and do what they say they are going to !

The girls bedrooms were sorted this weekend so, hopefully, they won't collect any more junk before we go. The church has also agreed that all the last minute stuff we need, we can take to the church to give away with donations to charity which is going to help. Paul spent a lot of the weekend putting his car and van on ebay to sell and we've had to wait in all day today for a guy to come and take a picture of the car for autotrader. He's still not shown up and the girls have watched tv since 9am and I'm desparate to get them away. I do hope, though, that the car doesn't sell until the last week. I have a few things planned that I want to but won't be able to if we don't have a car ! On the other hand, we do need to sell them.

Sounds really silly but I miss my bed, dishwasher and tumble dryer. They are currently on the high seas and I do hope they arrive safely. I am sick to death of ironing and washing up !!

Man's just turned up so now we can go and buy pick n mix
