Well, I've done it! After weeks of fannying about I went on to Singapore Airlines website and booked the flights to Sydney for July 2011!! We have our seats on the upper deck (yay!) and now I feel sick! I suppose getting the visa etc was all excitement and to a certain degree, detached from actually moving but now the flights are booked, we're actually going and my stomach is churning...but mostly in a good way!

Needless to say the husband is on the PS3, completely unphased by the whole thing

AGH!

I feel a complete disorganised shambles in comparison. I booked my flight four days before I went and my husband booked his the day before!

Good luck, make sure you make the most of the time you have left in Blighty.

Make sure you bring your woolies if you're coming in July.


How are the concerts going?

Congrats and have a look at Singapore Airlines Singapore Stopover. We got a amazing bargain for a couple of days in Singapore

Thanks everyone! I thought I'd feel calmer today but I had to inform The Mother first thing and she's not taking it well!

We're not in business class sadly but in the smaller economy upstairs which we're hoping won't be as manic as 'regular' economy downstairs.

Will bring the wollies, will check out the Singapore holidays and will work out how many sleeps to go!!

Concerts are going fab Wendy, Nov 15th is the next one in Brighton
