Hi Everyone

Well we have booked our validation trip, we fly out on 21st March with Emirates for 3 weeks, we are spending 3 days in Gold Coast, then going up to Bundy for a 6 days, back down to the Sunshine Coast for 6 days and then on to Sydney for the last 4 to visit some of Marks family. Cant bloomin wait , if only it was one way , you never know though we may get the house sold by then (yeh right!!!!!)

We sent an email for wanted down under series 4 the other week, but dont expect to get a reply as we already have our visa, we wouldnt be intesting enough.

Hi Teryna

It would be great if we could get the place sold before March, as you say you never know!
Good to hear you are in your own house finally, it probably feels like you havent had your own house for years!!!!! And a pool too! Happy days .
Can wait to meet everyone when we get over.
