Default Going to Oz on the 26th and brickin it

I would imagine that its normal to facing our leaving date on the 26th of June with trepadation but upto now I have not worried about it, however just over a week to go and the house contact was completed today, OMG....

And only 5 working days left, in an office I've worked in for 16 1/2 years, all very strange. This must either be the bravest of stupid thing I have ever done, I just don't know what one yet.

Could be both

Only time will tell, but good luck and all the best.

Your post made me chuckle! I think the same! For me, it feels like there's been some sort of moment of madness that had occurred from the seed being planted in the head to the actual flights booked!

It's that anticipation an excitement that makes my insides flip over!

Well I am off to Brisbane, which suppose is a good enough choice, however doe anybody ever feel that everything has happend and been decided and youve had no say in the process. I know this probably sounds wierd as I made the decisions, however its all been too fast and too easy

Just thought would add we are on the Singapore Airways flight to Brisbane on the 26th as well. Probably bump into you. Just look out for the family of 4 with far too much luggage and looking sh*t scared. Alternatively, we will be in the bar (if they allow kids).

Oh so you are now confirmed on the same flight as us, look for a family of five OH, me and the kids 2 girls and a boy. I just hope they sleep on the plane or were all in for a long journey.

I am just glad we got our seats at the very back of the plane near the toilets.

I'm bricking it and that's just selling my lovely home and having to move into a rental out in Oz.

It's feels really strange after all we have lived here for 11 years but the jobs for my hubby are on the decline they won't be here for ever.

Cheers Carol

Good luck with the move you don't know until you give it a go.
