Why spend all that money on going out when we can get pissed at home for a quarter of the price ;)

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


Fantastic news Wendy! Really pleased for you. I don't really post much but i read everything on here trying to gain as much information as i can, my story regarding house sale is similar to yours, had survey 4 weeks ago and buyers paid deposit today and we've agreed a date of 23rd June :scared: Very overwhelmed at all the things we've got to do now, just waiting for the okay we've exchanged and then book the flights( 25th we think)

Considering the visa process is stressful i have a feeling it's going to be a whole lot worse over the next few weeks. Any tips or advice is appreciated from anyone.

Good luck to you Wendy

Bet you don't too! I am the sort of person that lasy in bed and goes over and over things in my head - I wasn't like this when I was younger - I think as you get older and have kids you worry/plan more.

I remember exchanging the house - the day the money went in the bank we handed the keys over. All our stuff had been shipped out week before and we had been sleeping on air beds and eating take away food. We handed keys over on Monday at lunch time - booked flights 2 hours later on the internet - and flew on the wednesday morning at 9 am from Manchester - I think it was too much of a whirlwind to get excited or nervous.

I do remember one moment thou and that was - we booked a limo to airport - it was our bit of luxury and quite practical too as we had loads of baggage and there was 4 of us - so only 60 pounds more expensive than a minibus - but I remember walking up[ the stairs onto the plane and taking the one final moment to look back - It felt very wierd - and I felt in limbo over here for about 5 weeks - but then I pulled myself together and the rest is history......good luck with everything - the best bits are to come I promise you that

Missed this thread yesterday. Can't believe how quick its all gonna happen for you. Brilliant!! I can totally relate to how you come and go on BE made me laugh, Im the same, kettle on first thing, computer on. BE on. Then catch up, get boys to school. Check in on BE....... and so the pattern is set.

Good luck with all the running round over next few weeks your gonna be busy.
