Default Leaving on Sunday

Well the time has nearly come for me to leave for our new life in Perth. I fly on Sunday (alone!) to join my hubby who went out last Sunday. The shippers are coming tomorrow to pick up our few bits and pieces - can't believe how empty the house is now. Final meal out with my friends Friday night - goodbye drink on Saturday in the local then off to Manchester Sunday afternoon to begin my long journey.
The nerves are really starting to kick in but I know we have done the right thing.
A big thank you to everyone on BE - I couldn't have managed this without the help and support I have received. As soon as I get settled in Perth I will be back on this wonderful site and let everyone know how we are doing, and I will be attending the next meet up in Kings Park.
For those of you still waiting for visas - keep in there - the wait is worthwhile.
Once again thank you to everyone and speak again soon.

Janice

Sick as a parrot............ Perth Glory got thumped 3-0 and North End got beat by Blackpool.

Well done the seasiders......... apparently you deserved to win. Another lacklustre performance upfront from our forwards once more.

Welcome to Perth anyway.
