Rossi - you may be right about a 'little Kirby'. See how things go when we arrive!
DianeOZ - We can all shed our tears of happiness together. I was so happy (still am).
Posting off 61 kgs of stuff today. Packing away the things we dont need so other people can come scrounge them off us.
13 days to go .... And so the games begin !
Cheers Guys

Ant & Zoe, You are heading up near Noosa aren't you? I can't remember if you are hoping to stay there or if it is just a temporary arrangement with your family.
It is a fantastic location- great to see some more expat pals heading that way. Keep the beers cold for us- we hope to be there the end of the year- house permitting!
Keep posting and reminding me how great it is there.

We plan on staying in Noosa temporarily. Not sure if we will live there, all depends on were the work is.

Very Exciting stuff!

You are one naughty boy for putting that "bad news" heading. I think Zoe should give you a good spanking for that - or two good spankings in celebration.
WELL DONE THAT MAN.
Have a good trip, and make the best of your new life. But also be easy on your mum - remember what we discussed.
Best wishes

Speak to my mum most days now on the phone. Things are still tense but thats to be expected after 5 months of no contact!
think its time to forget and time for her to accept. She realises now that I wont give in to her and I think she is forcing herself to come to terms with the fact that I will be leaving.
She would rather be in touch with me on the other side of the world than not at all I am sure (although she is too stubborn to say that). The whole family seem cagey about it but its happening and the sooner they get used to it the easier it will be for us all.
Cheers for the advice. Anth

I fell out with my mum when I first moved in with my boyfriend when I was just 18. At first it was really hard, (she wouldn't come in the house and would only speak to me outside in the car). I think it is just sometimes hard for mum's to accept that their child is all grown up and ready to hit the world.
Mum came around, although it did take a year or two before she fully accepted my decision. Now I am married to the same boyfriend who caused all the fuss, and things are great between me and mum.
The moral of this story: Your Mum will come around, but it will take time. Don't give up, and ensure you keep in touch with her.
Good luck with everything

I think she will come around when I have settled in Oz, got a job and somewhere of our own to live then she will prob start to see WHY I have done it, you reckon?
I hope that one day she will come to my home and say to me
'son, I know why you done it - just couldnt see at the time'
I understand she is obviously grieving over my dad but she needs to find a balance between grief and being selfish
