The Hippo Returns!!!!!!!!!
 
THE HIPPO IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

After a whole week of thinking we shouldn't/couldn't go through with the 'big move', we have now decided to just go for it!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Too many 'what ifs' etc.....so we're just going to go with the flow now :D

Lots of pms to read and threads to catch up on.........but just wanted to let you all know that I'm back in a positive frame of mind...LOL :rofl:

Welcome back Beth.

I've been hoping, like many others that you were both just taking time out to get your head around everything.

Is everything going ahead with your house?

Glad to see you back.

M :D

I'm so glad you're back. I had been following the house selling thread and we were all shocked when you said you weren't going. I think most of us expected you to be right back on saying it was a joke :D

You'll never know unless you give it a try. Even if you change your mind you'll have validated your visas and left your options open.

Good luck with the move!

Thanks ;)
It was so off that we turned job offers down, declined offer on house, bought a Wii for the girls, told schools we weren't going, went for test drives in new 08 plate 7 seater cars etc :eek:
Then over the last two days we had a really long talk...........and realised we were just scared of going to Oz......and maybe we should just go for it.
So rung EA and will find out tomorrow if our buyers want to proceed........hopefully kept job offer open too :thumbup:
Think we had a major panic......but it's over with now...LOL
