have we got a guardian angel? (we nearly didn't make it)
not long ago I posted for some sympathy when our house looked like it was falling through. we exhanged contracts 11th nov and Paul gave notice on his job the same day.
On 15th november we were all in a very nasty car accident (our car hit another car, rolled over and was hit in the back while we were still upside down) The car stopped on its roof and no-one came to help us get out of the car - i think they thought we were all dead. it seemed like forever but was probably only a few minutes - paul managed to get his door opened to get out and was wondering round the road in a daze with blood pouring down his head and his hand. Kayleigh who is 9 and sooooo brave undid her seatbelt and crawled out and waited for me to get out. The littleone Niamh who is 3, was still in her seat and as I undid her I had to catch her to stop her landing on her head. After the ambulance came and took us to hospital kayleigh had 11 stitches and paul couldn't be stitched because he had no skin left - he has a big scab on his head and a mickey mouse hand that has been bandaged for the last 2 weeks. I had a small cut on my head and have bruised ribs and Niamh had hardly a scratch. someone must be looking out for us.
Our removal firm comes in on friday to start packing and we move out on Monday. we fly on 12th and land in brisbane on 15th. we haven't got anything ready and are starting to panic. I have two days to get my head together.

OMG...you guys have had a very lucky escape:scared:...i would definitely say there is someone watching over you all!
Just grab enough clothes and stuff that you'll need for the first few weeks...make sure you've got tickets and passports and don't worry about the other stuff. Just try not to stress ...you've been through enough without giving yourself a headache with this lot...it will all sort itself out honest!!
Big karma and cyberhugs to you and your family.
love sophia xx

Just think the Australian part of it all will be easy compared to that. Good luck with your move and let the packers take the strain of it all.

I ditto Madsads sentiments. What an absolutely awful thing to happen to you and your family. Bless Kayleigh for being so calm and brave! You definitely had a guardian angel looking after you, it could've been so much worse. In a weird sort of way I would be counting my blessings!
I wish you all the best for the 12th, something that will distract you from pondering too much on the accident, and just keep thinking of Beautiful Brisbane!!!!!
Take care

Re: have we got a guardian angel? (we nearly didn't make it)
Flippin eck!! Well if you don't already have a guardian angel and you need one when you arrive in Brisbane, I would be only too happy to help. If you are all on your own and you need some help or advice (as we were when we arrived here in 1991) I will give you all the help you need (within my limits). Just pm me back and we can take it from there. P.S. I used to live in Perham Down.
