Smile Weve gone and booked our flights

Cant believe weve finaly got to this stage.
We fly out on the 3rd August with Singapore.

Our house sale finaly goes through on the 24th July and weve booked a caravan for our last 2 weeks in the UK while we tie up loose ends. Caravan has cost us £1,200 for the 2 weeks , but we were lucky to find it as everywhere was booked solid as the school holidays begin on the 20th.
Our leaving party is all arranged for the 20th, we cant wait.

My little girl competed in her very last dance comp this last weekend and the school dragged her up to make an announcement that she was off to Oz and presented her with some lovely gifts for her to remember them all. Thought I would cry my eyes out but managed to hold off the tears so as not to set her off.

Cant believe how short the days are when you have so much to plan an arrange in such a small amount of time. Im knackered .

Roll on the 5th August when we arrive in Brissie, by the way does anyone know of a hotel that caters for 2 adults 3 children just for the one night as we need to be in Brissie to activate our bank account on the Monday.

Congratualtions and good luck with the move.

May I be the first Australian to say 'its about bloody time you got it all sorted'

For a one night hotel I would suggest booking through one of the cheap lastminute websites such as lastminute.com.au or wotif.com.au - they usually have good deals on hotels and you can browse and find something that you like!

Thats great news Sam.........I bet your really nervous now and of course excited.

My little princess dances too and she is doing so well at it she has her show in November ( the last ) ......sometimes you feel a right tw*t taking them away from the things they have worked so hard for for years.....but onwards and upwards to better things.

Good luck

Yes I feel terrible as she loves her dancing so much and unfortunately they do not do Freestyle disco in OZ so she will be unable to continue with it. Been doing lots of research on the net for dance classes, no luck yet, but knowing Lily she will enjoy herself with any clubs she joins.
