Great news:)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope it all works out for you this time.

How comes you had to pay full fare for Channelle when she was not 12 for three more days - did you buy a return ticket?

Channelle is 12 three days before they fly :lecture:

Hi Gaynor
i'd think about doing your meds after 6 months if you haven't already been requested by then! the waiting is a nightmare but believe me it will soon fly by then your feet wont' touch the ground! Do you have a property to sell? is it on the market?
We are going to Albany Creek, Brisbane in September!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keep in touch
Rach x
HI RACH Yes we do have a property to sell but not on the market yet.We are going to wait a while.Our problem is we need to go out and decide where we are going I think it will be Perth as we have second cousins there but want to look at Brisbane too or even further on to Cairns.We are hoping to hear something positive by next April and then we shall all go out and validate and go for a reckie while we are there.Wish we could get over there sooner but just cannot afford it at the moment.
All our friends think we are mad as we have never been before but once we get over and validate then we can see for ourselves if it is for us!.In our situation with the visa ,we had to apply this year as we would not have had enough points due to hubbys age.
There is not a day that goes by without thinking about it all .Are we doing the right thing etc,we know that we are going nowhere here and are not happy but do realise that Australia is not utopia and certaintly realised that by logging onto this forum everyday.
We have two children one 5 and the other is nearly 2 hoping to give them a better lifeFfingers crossed,it all works out.
Look forward to hearing from you again when you reach your destination.Take Care Gaynor.

Hi guys
sorry i've taken a while to reply to all the good luck messages but been a bit manic the last few days! As you know last night we went for a meal with my mum and step dad, Chanelle half way through the meal pulled out her passport with visa in and showed mum, who broke down in tears, said that 'we have to go and make a go of our lives but she will miss us so much', very sad, then Mark out of the blue said 'right well for xmas we are getting you a ticket to come out in March, let us know how long you want to come for!', she cried even more! Mum was planning on coming out for a fortnight in March anyway but i know money is a bit tight, so she is happier now! oh by the way, the food was great!
then this morning whilst Chanelle and I were at the vets with the rabbit, the people who offered yesterday came for a second look, they love our bungalow, he especially loves Marks workshop and they have both said they can see themselves living out their later years here! The place they have sold is only 3mins away, they were both born locally so know the area and they are happy to complete the first week of September all being well with their buyers, so looks like at long last we have found people who will actually move in here! although i know only too well that nothing is 100% till its signed for!
Debsy - MLBonner is right Chanelle is 12 on the 4th, we fly on the 7th, thus having to pay full fare for a piglet!
Thanks again to everyone for you help, support and kind words
love and hugs to you all
Rach, Mark and a very excited Chanelle xxxxx

Glad things went okay with your mum. I just said goodbye to my bestest and oldest friend, had to literally run to my car (ok, walk very quickly) to stop tears, but I daresay they'll be some before I go :eek:
Look fwd to meeting you when you get to Albany Creek (see, got it now ;))

Mmm, was really looking forward to our leaving party on the 13th, but the closer it gets the more i'm dreading it to be honest, had to book it early as we left it too late if you know what i mean, so will have to go through all the emotions twice (at the party then again before we leave the uk!) Where abouts are you heading for in Brisbane? (sorry forget)!

:scared:

Yup, I know what you mean!

I'm going to Bracken Ridge, not too far away from you really at all :) (quite near to Cats & Jackie off the other post also I think)

Rach

Haven't been on for a couple of days. Thought I better have a last look as on holiday for two weeks - fantastic news. That is great. So pleased for you all and very glad your mum is so positive.

Hope the buyer continues to be as keen and it all goes through before the 7th September - whoaaaaa - not long now.

All the best.

Penny, Kevan, Heather and Abs.:PARTY: :PARTY: :PARTY:
