Well its too late to change our minds now!!!!
Well the house sale completes tomorrow and Daz put the house alarm on for the last time tonight and handed the keys to the estate agent. We have been staying at Daz's parents since last Friday as we dimantled everything ready for the shippers who came on Monday and Tuesday. We are using ATLANTIS OVERSEAS REMOVALS who so far have been very good and gave a cheaper quote than most of the others.(PM me if any of you need the number - based in Birmingham & Leeds). For all of you who are awaiting the day you wave goodbye to the whole of your possessions let me tell you it is a strange feeling. I stood waving with a tear in my eye till I could see it no longer and had a strange urge to chase after it down the street! Now we have 6 weeks to wait until we leave on the 20th Oct. (this is due to Daz won't go till he has seen his beloved B'ham City play the Villa for the last time!!!!!!) Everything is booked so our only job now is to finalise things in the UK. then chill!!!!

, the 6 weeks you have left will fly by, enjoy your last few weeks in England. Whereabouts in Birmingham are you? We came over in March from Sutton Coldfield, and hubby is a big B'ham City supporter. He stays up til the early hours watching it live here as they show all the games on foxtel

hi karen,it feels really odd to be homeless doesnt it,and when i saw our conrtainer dissapearing down the street it was very emotional,but it was well worth it and sending your container on ahead at least means you wont be waiting for it this end

The six weeks till you fly will fly by. As the time gets nearer each day seems to get shorter and you end up with not enough time left to do everything you want.
Good luck with the move to Australia, I for one wouldn't live anywhere else.
