quick update!
well to say a lot has happened is an understatement! firstly, house completed on time, money in bank (tho not a lot after loans etc all paid off buy hey ho) and I have to say it pays to have a good solicitor! 4 days before we were due to move I collapsed with abdo pain, ended up in theatre where they found a ruptured ovarian cyst with appendix attached! So while Mark struggled alone with the move, storage, container and kids, I lazed in hospital worrying about everything! we then had a shellshock from the dr's! Can't fly after an op for 6 weeks! Luckily we'd booked a self catering cottage for a couple of weeks, which we've had to extend until the end of march until we can fly.
still sorting bits and pieces for container and generally getting ready to go. offloaded stuff on relatives, just have cars to get rid of and transport to arrange to heathrow then we can finally leave!
my advice; plan for every eventuality! We never in amillion years thought any of us would be ill, let alone need an op 4 days before moving! Mark's definately aged in the last 2 weeks!
anyway, next update will be when we're in aus as no internet access at the mo. hope everyone ok, have missed you all (yes even you Bix)! be there soon, love annie X

finding the resting bit very difficult! only time i'd been in hospital was to have the kids so came as a bit of a shock! finding the days go quickly, the place we're in is so small for 5 of us, once you've picked kids clothes up off floor its basically tidy, and they come in to make your beds etc never been one to rest, never been one to get pain, so i'm chucking in the antiobiotics and paracetamol and heading off out every day, getting good at doing lunch (well i vomited for 6 days and i only weigh 43kg so i've got to put on some weight)! must dash as not my laptop, but thanks ever so to you all XXXX

Bloody hell Annie. 
Please don't go overdoing it too soon.
How wrong can you be ? There's me thinking it's so quiet on here that you had ditched Mark and run off with Luke
