3 weeks to go ..... I'm still feeling pretty calm about everything, I think it's mainly due to having a good night's sleep last night.  I was feeling more panicky over the weekend - but a few more jobs ticked off the list and I'm feeling much more composed.

Both my mother and my boss reckon that we'll be back - but I'm sure we will make it work, life is what you makee it right? I'm gonna enjoy proving them wrong.

We've trasferred som money to our Oz bank account today - no more cash coming in to our UK one's so it feel's like we have a toe-hold on our new lives in Australia now.

I'm off up to my mum's tonight to sort out all the kid's Premium Bonds - we will cash theem in and open up an Australian bank account for them when we get there.  I am 100% commited to making it work - and feeling quite confident and serene at the moment. (Don't say it - it won't last). Will speak to her about leaving do (thanks PP - you've made me think about it if nothing else)!? X

In other new's, #2 has another appointment at the eye hospital on Wednesday - bless her, the best we can hope for is that she won't need them any more, but I've done a "Do It Yourself" eye examination and I'm sure one eye is a lot weaker then the other - maybe when if we end up settling in some remote outpost it might be my next career choice - saw off some jam-jar bottom's and  with my orthodontic antics of last week (tooth fairy) then surely Robert's your Mother's Brother!?  How can I fail!? :o)
