Re: 2 Weeks to go and I am in a Foul Mood!!!!
Three weeks to go and I am having stupid arguments with husnand and we usually never argue.
Trouble is, he's left EVERYTHING to the last minute, and I have been badgering him for months to get moving. We leave on 12th and he's only just got the cat vaccinated. Looks like the poor thing is going to have to have a few days in kenels before he goes to make sure his jabs are good. I originally got the paperwork for the cat in January, but of course, hub's left it till now.
I'd have done it myself, but I was selling the house, organising the movers, packing, selling, looking after three children and applying for my own visa.
So yes, short on sleep, patience and good humour. I bloody knew he's leave it until the last minute. It drives me insane.

Don't get me bloody started on the 'who did what for this emigration'!!! I know I'm a control freak so like to get things done myself but this has been beyond! He finally realises that I took on too much and says 'I'll do more'. So when he starts doing stuff its 'Rach, what do I do with this - Rach, how do I do that.........'!!!! Its flamin easier for me to do it myself I tell you!
Rant over. Back to the wine! (only kidding - still a bit early but I'm keeping an eye on the clock

Re: 2 Weeks to go and I am in a Foul Mood!!!!
glad to hear it is not only me that is stressed out then 
Hubby is lucky because he gets to go to work but I'm at home with the kids - trying to sort out selling the house, arranging medicals, finding out about shipping and all the other million things that have to be done (AND BOY IS THERE A LOT THAT HAS TO BE STILL HAS TO BE DONE :scared: ).
I guess someone will have to start a thread about how to calm down and how to unwind at the end of the day

Only thing is make sure that where ever you are stopping over on the way allows you in with less than 6 months on your passport, thats assuming you aren't going in the next two months of course.

It will have just under 8 months on it when we travel.

I worked out the other day how much a full time nanny, housekeeper and cook would cost for a year, plus emergency nanny for overnight sickness etc would cost, The whole thing came to around £42,000.
Remember that!
I think if it wasn't for the women, none of us would get to Australia.
Let's hear it for the girls!
