Default stresses of the last few days in UK

We fly out a week today, the shippers are in tomorrow, the car is being picked up by the buyer on Monday..... arrrrggh the car is NOT ready to be picked up on Monday as the repairs being done to it have been delayed by over a week. Stressing over what we should do now

Accommodation in Sydney not yet sorted as the the last 2 places have fallen through.

If everything runs smoothly then you don't appreciate the good things in life as much - but why do things have to go tits up big style?

rant over - better carry on getting house ready for shippers

If it helps any we are in the same situation of the last week and shippers come on Friday and tying up all loose ends. Things will all fall into place and you will be able to look back in a few months time with a huge sigh of relief.
Best of luck.

if it helps also, we are in the same boat too, we leave two weeks on sunday, we havent even got any shippers as the ones we looked at are useless!!!
wouldnt mind we only have two boxes!
so my stress levels are through the roof, to top that off, the guy wants to move in to my house a week earlier than expected, so we are also homeless as from 24th!!!
there was me thinking getting my visa was the end of my worries he he!!
but i know it will all be worth it at the other end (i hope!!)

Remember it well, probably felt like the worst time possible as there was so much to do and not enough hours to do it in, :scared: But looking back it didn't seem that bad

Whereabouts in sydney do you need accommodation?

When you fly into sydney international theres an accommodation booking service at the airport and lots of phones where you can call free phone numbers so sure you will find somewhere.

thanks everyone for their kind words.

Update on the car - after many phone calls and a couple of very helpful people (they do exist!) the part was posted and the overnight shift should be working on it now, so is looks like it will all be ready for delivery on Friday, used at the weekend and sold on Monday. Phew
