How's it going Niamh? not seen you for ages?????
Hi Mary, I'd give up less stress and if she doesn't know it now she won't learn it revising, my Fred hasn't done any revision he won't and I'm not getting stressed about it he knows the consequencies

Hi Flyaway fingers crossed for your sale hope it goes through

I have been reading the threads when I can but been trying to keep busy and not think about it too much. It seems to be moving again so hopefully not long now.

Thanks Beccie - here's hoping it goes through. This house selling stuff is very stressful..

I hope they start to work on the Novembers soon - hopefully when they have finished the Augusts, there will lots of COs.

Holiday was good glad to get back dont know how i'll cope with OH in Oz as he's talking about talking a few months off before he starts work - just managed a week

Did i read right that she was taking insulin for diabetes related to her pregnancy? Maybe she's just having a quiet day fingers crossed she's ok.

Just read on Novembers thread someone from the 22nd Nov has been issued with a CO today ................ bring it on

PMSL, my OH is like that too. Drives me bonkers when he is home.

Yes, you're right, that's why I am a bit concerned she isn't well.

Yes - let's hope they keep processing the Novembers!

Typical - at least she won't need GCSEs in Aus.

Im still here girls

Hi Nic and Mary and every one else

Ahhh Thanks Girls you are so nice worrying about me all is well though We were away for the weekend wasn't planned DH parents took the boys to Carlow to spoil them and we were to pick them up Sunday but they asked us to stay so no internet access that and my DH just loves to tinker with the labtop drives me mad I keep saying if its not broke don't fix it for f sake

Still in the house its going next week money exchanging hands then as well I had a bit of a melt down on Saturday and Sunday morning our lovely boxer has gone to live with DH parents and I miss her already keep looking at the couch and expecting to see her sleeping on it but she is being spoilt and I know they will look after her. Plus my sister was giving me major guilt trips about spending quality time with her and the cheek of me leaving her !!!! and then expects me to change my plans to suit her and then I found out it was because she needed something to do as her Best friend was working family's I swear they just drive you nuts :curse:

Im on more insulin now as well so I was a bit fed up with crappy bland boring food and being starving

strangely it was My MIL who made me feel heaps better on Sunday she said yep they will miss us but she thinks we are doing the right thing and we will have a great time and not to be worried about them
think its normal to have the what the hell am i doing every now and then LOL


so think I explained my self lots happening in a few days LOL I promise Ill keeps you informed dont want you all worrying again but thanks

Phewwwwwwwwwwww..................You had us worried Niamh What are we gonna be like when you go to Oz????? better get that internet connection sorted out fast and don't forget to give your OH your password before you go into labour.

Nice to hear your MIL is being supportive, just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this when others give you grief.

I can imagine how you feel about leaving your dog, just remember he's gone to a good home and will be well looked after.

That's it!
I'm slipping further into depression with all this! Positive thinkin not workin right now - it's the house more than the visa though. I hate this feeling of helplessness.

I have been trying to talk OH into reducing our price but he won't have it! I sobbed all over him last night, there is nothing I want more than to get out of that house!!! I feel like it's the only thing standing in the way of me getting to Australia (ok I know I've not got a visa yet, but even if I had I wouldn't be going anywhere until the house sells).

Please help everyone, any suggestions on how I can lift my mood again??
