Fly tommorow to activate visa

Hi All

well first stage tommorow, we fly out to OZ to activate our visa. No luck on our house sale as yet, but it be a nice break to get away and the pressure is off a bit then. Well we might see some of you at heathrow tommorow. Hope all goes well for everyone of you.

Have a great reccie - we were in exactly the same position 6 weeks ago - flew out to Perth to validate our visa as we had such a short date (long story for another time) - had a wodnerful trip out there, and then when we got home we got a call from a call how had put an offer in back in April but couldn't get their house sold and low and behold they've only gone and sold their house and now we should be completing within a couple of weeks - so you never no you might get the same call when you get back.

Have a wonderful time

Hi Guys

we are of to Brisbane. We have had loads of interest for the house, but no offers yet and seeing that out visa runs out 1st feb, we thought might aswell go and validate it now. even if will see the house in the next 2 weeks we be hard pushed i recon to complete before then.

amended first entry - typo (boss was looking over me shoulder when I should really have been doing proper work!)
Oh god now the first message is in little letters - I'm really living up to my name! Oh well read the small message as well you'll get the drift of what I mean. I know I've managed to amend before well things have gone array today and I'm leaving work in a weeks time yipee so my boss can go and to a fan dance!!!!

we had it on the market for 6 mths and only had 2 viewings used 2 estate agents and now we have took it off until we get back there is no point if we are going to be away for nearly a month
