I'm a happy little bunny
Very scared of sharing this news incase it jinx's it but i'm so happy about it that I cant keep my mouth shut.
The plan was for my Hubby and I to leave in 18 months when we have saved enough money BUT.....
Last week we found a business for sale and decided there and then that we were goin to buy it and go (something we have both wanted to do for long time)
We have had financial people look over all the books and everything and they have said it is a good viable business so all we needed was the money, A very kind family member called us yesterday morning and has offered to lend us the cash. The current owners want to sell in the next 3 months so we are now on overdrive trying to sort everything out. Dad has siad we can move into his to save money untill we go so all good there.
We are off in 2 weeks for a wedding so we are going to finalize the purchase then (fingers crossed that no-one buys it before then but it should be fine as the estate agent knows our situation and that we definately want to buy) and then we will be leaving at the end of october, just after my mums birthday.
AGHHHHH all the time I have said that I wouldn't be scared were a load of cack cos I am now torn between pure excitement and fear.
Celebrated yesterday at the Sussex meet with a few Jack daniels so appolgies to those who were there watching me get slowly bladdered.

That sounds about right!
Fantastic news though, I'm dead excited for you. There's no way I could have waited 18 months with a visa in my hand to get over here. Keep us posted with all the details and once its secure I expect some more info
Good Luck
