Its all coming together..
well almost...we've both finished work now (hooray
), Katie finished school last friday and now we wait...
The shippers are due on Jan 5th and 6th and we complete on the house on the 6th (talk about leaving to the last minute) and we finally fly out on the 8th.
We are living in the midst of chaos at the minute. We have the contents of the shed thoroughly cleaned and now in the house and I've whittled down the clothes to what we will need over the next few weeks - the rest have been packed and sent to the in-laws.
I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas time - the last in the UK for many and I'll hopefully keep posting from "the other side" - which reminds me that I need to make sure the rose tinted specs are in the hand luggage

Hi Claire,
Ilkley never alters much - in appearance maybe a bit, but the place feels the same as it did when I was growing up here; quiet, exclusive - well expensive anyway.
Do you know Ilkley well?

We intend arriving in Perth June/July 2004 ( pending the VISA)
We should all arrange a meet up somewhere like Kings Park.
There are so many from this site heading the same way. It seems a shame that in about a years time when we are all in the same area, we could pass each other in the shopping mall and not even recognise each other.
