its starting to tire me out.

i can not stop thinking about my move to oz.

i sit dreaming about it, i cant concentrate on things, its all i talk about, the only time i feel satisfied is on here.
i have constant butterflies, i sleep eat and dream about australia.
i feel constantly frustrated cus we cant sell the house, its the thing thats holding everything up.

i look at people in the street and at tesco thinking is this all you want from life a cold wet england, i think i need some kind of mental help or just cut all this out of my life for a while.

am i normal?

Yes thats normal....ummm that's if i'm normal
I too cant stop looking things up on the net, searching flights etc.
We are waiting for the sale of our house to go through so cant book anything till we have a date, i am sure that once we do though it will all happen way too soon!

Hiya,

For 2 years its all we have spoke about and thought about, every morning the internet goes on to see if we have any emails from agent!!

oh thanks, yes we are in the same situation

i feel like shouting at the people that come to view ' just buy it for god sake'

kind of nice to know im not the only one.

english-rose

thanks nickie

i guess you just start to think that no-one else can be as bad as me, nice to know that theres others that feel like it too.

Yes! But only becaise me saying you're normal makes me feel better!

We're not even applying for our visa until later this year but already I'm looking up property, food prices etc etc. I'm on here at lunchtime (and sometimes beyond ) every day at work. i've got a list of things to remember, stuff people pointed out on here and useful websites etc. I'm putting a 'well organised' spin on it but my OH thinks I'm going somewhat insane. And of course now that 'Wanted Down Under' is on I have him recording that for me every day too...haha!

If it's actually upsetting you (and it does me on occasion as I get very frudtrated being in London) just give yourself a break from it. Find something you love to do here, and do it! Don't allow youself to go on here for a few days, don't research stuff, read/do something totally un-Oz related and allow your poor addled brain to re-set.

We are EXACTLY the same, nice to know that its not just us two who are obsessed with it.

Praying we get the visa this week please, please, please !!!!

english-rose

good luck, my fingers are crossed for you, me and everyone else on here that needs luck.

why

i decided to come out here in 1985 when i heard "a land down under" by men at work........
i was obsessed with it for ages and the day i got the last bit of paper work was the best feeling ever.........
i have had lots of ups and downs and been backwards and forwards a bit...

the day i arrived in australia the second time felt like the worse thing i had ever done......but i am really happy now 10 years later

pacey

haha it's totally normal! I think because you are in such a state of limbo (we've ALL felt it) that it becomes an obsession, because until the day that big golden YES envelope turns up (that's how it work, right? like willy wonka) nothing has any RELEVANCE or SIGNIFICANCE! Trust me i've been like this for 2 years while i got the necessary work experience etc...

just hang in there, and never mind what you think about everyone in Tesco who is missing the big picture - more room and opportunity for those of us with the VISION! Of course i am slightly bitter as my ex didn't want to come, hence the break up. But i'm 25, life goes on!

Let's just get there. It's going to be worth the agonising wait.

thanks, karma to you as well

Nickie

HIya, when was your paperwork sent off? our agent sent all our paperwork to adalaide on 3rd dec......dunno how long to wait!!

Our 457 was applied for at the beginning of October to Perth, we are one of the longest 457 waiters at 14 weeks tomorrow

Anyway, not wanting to take this off topic i'll leave that there and you can see our journey on the 457 thread in the immigration forum
