one topic of conversation
hi everyone
after making the momentous decision to leave a nice home, two secure jobs that we both love, uprooting our children and moving them to the other side of the world ,there only seems to be one topic of conversation in our house at the moment, it`s all we seem to talk about these days!
in fact, when we do actually move over there i`m not sure we`ll have anything to talk about!
is this the same for anyone else?

Have you told people at work too? That seems to be all I get there as well. "Any news?", "Have you heard any more?". It's nice in a way but don't you get sick of answering the same questions?

We were the same......... then the visas were granted........... and now we wait while the buyers who desperately want this house makes themselves known...... and we wait...... and we wait........
We don't talk any more about anything - all plans are on hold until miracle buyer appears!
You don't know anyone wanting a 5 bedroomed house in Gloucestershire do you?!

NOT looking forward to it, but see the other halfs brother yesterday (estate agent) and he said HIS market is ok, no worries!
His area is NW London, which I appreciate isn't a lot of use up there, but as long as I hear it's 'ok' ...... I can live with that

Yes us too, and when we've run out of Oz things to talk about, I get on this forum and people give us ideas to mull over again.
It is a momentus step though, it's no surprise that you're talking about nothing else.
And it's gonna happen to us in 11 days!!!!
All the best

Once you have it then its all talk about how much you have to do and selling the house etc
Once you've made the journey there is so much to find out and do that you don't run out of stuff to talk about.
Once youve been here a few months you start talking about the things your missing.
Once youve been here a year or so then yep its back to normal (Providing you've settled of course
) and long silences
