Yes you'd better - we will only worry!

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

You should get your MIL to have a word with your family! Or just say to them that this is your last week and it would be nice if you could all have a good time without comments because these memories will be precious.

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.

It's horrible isn't it? Sending you a big ((((((((((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))))) Hopefully you'll have good news soon.

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?? :

You must be gutted. As Mary said, you know he will be well looked after and you will be able to get updates and photos etc.



It woiuld be nice if they actually told us. It's hardly national security.



I hate my house now - I regularly kick it! I seriously don't ever want to buy again if it can cause this much grief. The only way to feel better is to try to forget about it. Do something completely different.

Thanks for the hug! It was needed!!
I'm just in a daze, don't know what to think any more!

I'm cleaning here as we have a viewing tomorrow - even though we have 2 buyers it is still on the market... keeping our options open.

Glad your ok Baby - i know how you feel about your dog, we had a boxer last year and when we decided that we would start our process we looked into taking him with us but we decided against it and that while he was still young (1yr) that it would be best all round for him and our DD (who am i fooling, and me!!) to go to someone who would look after him and they are.

Congrats on your new solicitior and your viewings Fly away, fingers crossed

Well they've not been near mine At least they like it and may come back, fingers crossed!!!

OMG! How terrible The barstewards!:curse: I hope you get some more buyers really soon. We've had 2 sales fall through and it's awful.

Talking about pets - we have 2 cats - they are about 12 years old - so we really want to find them a good home here so that they don't have to make the journey all the way to Oz - our neighbors have said that they will take them - so thats an option - so sad leaving pets - and family behind! .... and yet I can't wait!

So hard - our 2 cats both died of old age ast year. I don't think I could have left them behind as I have no family in the UK. Don't know what I would have done as one was 12 and the other 19.

question - does anyone know where I can find a list of things we can/can't take to Oz with us - for eg not sure we can take our feather duvet or pillows (how sad - I love my pillow!)

Chins Up Everyone...
