I Love it When a Plan Comes Together.
What a week! 
Monday : Booked and paid for Flights with Singapore Airlines from Manchester to Perth on 13th September. 5 Adults 1 Child, Cost £2200.
Stopping over in Singapore for 5 nights on the way staying at the Novotel Apollo. 3 Twin rooms for 5 nights including free entrance to 5 different attractions and transfers to and from airport, Cost £408.
Tuesday : Handed in notice at work, finish on 27th August!!!
Wednesday : Booked everything for leaving party on 3rd September at local club, holds 230 people, should be a good night.
Thursday : House sale finally confirmed, completion due just before we land inPerth. 3 months, 34 viewings, and its now definitely sold! And for full asking price!!!
So at last it all seems to be coming together, and feels much more real and just a little scarey! :scared:

Very similar plan to ours:
Leave temp job on 27th Aug, Leaving party booked for 10th September, Packers arrive 13th Sept, Hoping to leave for London on 16th September. A couple of days there as daughter has never experienced London. Doing a couple of touristy thing then hoping to fly out to Singapore on the 18th and have a couple of days stopover so we are nice and refreshed when we get to Perth. You never know Phiza we may bump into on route!!!

MONDAY: Found tenants for our UK home
TUESDAY: Got boxes and packed everything for storage
WEDNESDAY: Sold MG (phew!)
THURSDAY: Deposited money started paying debts off (bank manager in shock!)
FRIDAY: Had an allergic reaction (well lifes never perfect)
Sitting here in empty house (ok....we have a kettle), kids stuff is packed for flight, living on take aways and playing Uno until we've laughed ourselves stupid! We will progress onto travel Connect 4!
Good luck with it, we fly in 13 days and after all the stress I'm still having sleepless nights, butterflies etc but feeling ok!

Re: I Love it When a Plan Comes Together.
Well, all I can say is a big 'CHEERS' to you and all your family, I am sitting here reading and toasting your success with a large 'Castle Lager', just started our TRA application so a long way away yet, but we'll get there!!!!!
Cheers again and go out and love Oz, it has much to offer anyone and is the best place on this earth, you won't be needing the good luck 'cos it's meant to be so it'll be! Enjoy and think of this, the reason I'm trying so hard to go:
Life is what passes you by whilst you're planning it.
So do it now, and enjoy and persevere and live your life the way you like to.
All my best wishes
Malcolm Macintyre

Well done - the hard part's got to be over now!
We fly on Sept 22nd - although I fell out of a tree today and feel pretty rough....
