I can remember being very, very :scared: when we left our UK house for the last time. The taxi came to take us away about 30 mins after the packers had left; that last half hour in the house, walking round the emptiness, thinking 'oh my god, WHAT have we done???' was really scary!!

But soon we were on our way to my lovely parents in law in Kent, for our last w/e in Blighty, & MIL had the G&Ts ready & waiting for us....

I knew then it was all going to be OK.

Good luck & don't worry about being sh*t scared - it is quite normal!!

Been for a (for a while), last meal with my folks tonight - was really nice, which put my heart at ease a fair amount. Having a day to myself tomorrow - had 5 house viewers this weekend, so been busy. Good in a way though!

Good luck for the flight, its very strange getting on that plane at Manchester not knowing if/when you'll ever see UK again and even stranger when you get to the other end and think this is home. But don't worry you'll be fine.

Hi Cas,

Good luck!! Am so envious.....

My goodness, 28 hours left!

All the best for you and Tony in Mellie - we'll hopefully be over there by October (fingers crossed) so I'll be riveted to catch your posts from 'the other side!'.

GOOD LUCK CAS!!!!!

Can't be long now!!?

It must be worth all the panic now!!? Hows the family behaving about you going - I think that must be the most stressful part when the family start getting upset.

Have a safe flight and fill us in soon!

14 hours to go now before I leave the house for the last time.

I've got the biggest butterfly in my stomach I've ever had - but at least I'm packed and have everything to hand (hang on I'll just check - again!!)

My flight is at 10.10 from Manchester - that airport has taken me to some great places and has been the start of many fantastic journeys - this must be the best though.

Not sure if I'll sleep much tonight if at all - lucky I've still got the PC until tomorrow - looks like another long stint online................

Hi Cas

Nervous, why? It's only a new job for goodness sake, nothing major. Anyone would think you are moving to the other side of the world

Am sure you have said, but can't remember, are you heading straight for Melbourne or stopping off? Is Tony travelling with you or joining you later - sorry really can't remember.

Whatever, have a great flight, and get on line as soon as you can whilst standing upside down

Only stopping in Singapore for 16 hours - booked a hotel room for 12 of those, so I can have a sleep and a bath. Then I'll be fine and bright when I get to Mel - yeah, right !

Tony is flying from Heathrow - same time, but will get to Melbourne a day before me - jammy bugger (only has a 2 hour stop in Singapore).

Know what you mean when I think logically - nothing to it really - only leaving family and friends who I love, a good job, lovely house in a beautiful part of the country, etc, etc to go to God knows what............

Post again when I'm upside-down

Cas xx
