Hubbie now FINALLY gone to tell his Parents....what to do, where to start....feeling a bit...:):D:(:ohmy::confused::thumbsup::omg_smile:: cry_:whatchutalkingabout:blink: AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

Congratulations :thumbsup:

Sounds like you had a great week. Hope the inlaws take the news well. Both our families seem a bit disappointed that we liked Oz when we went to get our visas sorted. Think they were all hoping we wouldn't like it after all & we'd decide not to emigrate.

It might be nice to wait more than 45 minutes before asking people to congratulate you. It may be that they didn't know what the thread was about, so didn't open it? Quite possibly people thought you were referring to feeling like me?

Congrats on the Visa. Have you made your mind up yet about which part of Oz you're going to? We are still undecided between Adelaide and NSW, think NSW might be winning, but something always pulls me back to Adelaide! Have been to NSW but not A! Hmm....

We will rock you - AWESOME! Saw it a couple of years back, and want to see it again. Wasn't sure if I would like it (OH is the real Queen Fan) but I couldn't sit still - up dancing, singing etc. (Think OH would have slid under his seat if he could!)

What did the in laws say about your plans? Have to say that leaving my elderly mum will be the hardest thing. She says she will come out to Aus, but not sure if she really will...

Hope the wine boxes helped the celebrations, but how was your head the next day? :ohmy: You sound like a person after my own heart!
