OMG :scared: hmmmmmm - NO!! I struggle to get on here as it is - the kids keep saying - "get of the 'puter Mum, we want to go to the park!!" Maybe between us we can match you. Seriously though, I know the comments made about your post count weren't nice, but sod 'em - you're going to Adelaide next month :D

Hubby finishes work next friday, so we will do the majority of stuff the week after that. Then it's just a case of Book it, pack it and F*** off :D

How are you going to have time to come on expats and do everything else? You MUST find time to log on :) Hope it all goes well for you Wendy!!!!! ;)

Can't quite believe that something is finally happening and that in about 4 weeks time we wil be starting our new life.

Blimey, you seem to mirroring our movements exactly. Exchanged end of May and completing on the 30th June and then moving into MIL for about 2 weeks (though 1 week in France) and then off on the 13th July.

Scarey isn't it? I find myself feeling excited one moment and then feeling indifferent and apathetic the next.

Good luck with it all....

Well what I usually do is log on in a morning and read a few posts with my cup of tea, then I sort out the kids brekkie and clear up the mornings mess, then I get another cuppa and have another look at BE. Then I wash up brekkie stuff and put the washer on. By that time I need another cuppa, so it's back to BE for a while.

I sort of do a bit and then have a sit down and read a bit of BE and then do a bit etc etc.

So yes, I'll fit a few post in ;)

I've had butterflies all week, I had a feeling that this week something would happen.

I know what you mean about the changing moods though. It's really weird, I suppose it will all catch up with us when we are sat on the plane. I think I'll need a few changes of clothes IYSWIM ;)

Have you been before? Visit Mt. Teide. Very impressive but be on the lookout for the stormtroopers and well dressed Apes (if you know what I mean?)....

Well I don't envy you, the place gets worse by the second. It's probably because of all the building work in the town center but there is NO SHOPS :scared: well not any decent ones anyway ;)

Thanks a lot for your kind words though, and I hope your CO doesn't take too long getting your visa sorted.

Nice one Wend - we're looking at a very similar time-frame. Five weeks till we bugger off over the horizon. No completion date for us yet but whether it all goes to shit or not, we're still going. :D
