Default We are homeless, jobless and with out possessions..

Well just an update from a friends computer.. we moved out and completed on the house yesterday.. PSS were fab.. but I felt totally devistated, I loved my home.

I know this is just the start of our new life and I am excited but have another 2 weeks of emotional rollercoaster before we fly on 7th September.. living for a 5 weeks out of suitcases with 2 under 4's.. we'll survive..just..

Good luck to everyone else and look forward to seeing you all in Bayside/Brissie..

Hi there

I'd just like to say that i can totally empathise with you.I cried when our stuff was shipped. We are now living in what feels like squat,our lovely home is an empty shell. We only have 2 more weeks of this though as we fly to Melbourne on the 1st September.

I don't know about you but I've never felt so stressed in my whole life.My anxiety levels are sky high as there's so much to do and people to say goodbye to.

I hope everything goes well for you.I just keep thinking of when we finally get there and hopefully start to relax.

Good luck!

Claire x

Coincidentally (sort of !) - we complete on our house on 23rd Sept, Shippers are out week before and we fly to spend the rest or our lives in Brisbane, Bayside on 28th December 2005.
So you'll be 3 months in by then!! Best of luck guys - maybe we will meet up sometime at some BBQ!!!

New years @ Southbank anyone ???

And it has warmed up again

Last Saturday, waiting at the local Netball ground, reminded me of a cold British Winters day, today, at the same spot, reminded me of a nice warm British Summers day

Julie,
We are all thinking of you at this time. Enjoy the last few days of the UK, and prepare yourselves for the new world. Hope Jeremy and the Kids are fine, and will talk to you soon.

Chris.

PS. Finally had an offer on house we excepted.

Thanks everyone... at my parents now, things have settled down emotions are stable again for a few days..!! The rollercoaster will start again with more goodbyes later this week!!

See you all soon, New Years at South Bank sounds great!

Congratulations Chris and Sasha on the house, we knew you'd get what you wanted eventually, it's a great house!! Love to hear how you are settling in.

Beebopaloola looking forward to meeting you all.. good idea on the grocery pack.. might have to contact John too!!

Bye for now,

Julie
