I'm guessing they are not your oldest? Or is that a friend with them?
Thanks

The two on the outside are the twins, the one in the middle is their sister shes exactly a year and 7 days older than them (the 7 days is important!), the big sisters 11 and the youngest is 5 months so it's a while before she starts school!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Tiger, sounds like you had an emotional day. When mine started she just walked in without a backward glance - it was terrible.

She was really excited. Went a bit shy before she went in but that's nothing new. I didn't cry i was happy for her she loves to be doing things and i don't have enough spare time to do all the things she wants me too.

How's your sale going Mary???
We've got the contracts to sign and send back. Our buyers are ok with completion on the 17th October, so our solicitors gonna try and get exchange through asap to tie them in

My 12 year old was upset when she got home, they've mixed all the classes up and she's not with any of her friends On a positive note at least it makes it easier to leave

well I'm so over ringing DIAC and getting conflicting information wish they would all say the same thing we spoke to a manager before I had the baby he was very nice and said that providing baby was OK then once medial was received it would be finalised and then pre grant letter could be reissued and we could depart on the 11 of September knowing we would have our visa when we return but now we get an email from the person looking after our file not co but acting on behalf of them that medicals might take longer and to allow more time before we depart Australia we don't have any more time have to be out of here on the 11 or else immigration is kicking us out

some times i wonder do they know how their own office works
I'd ring again and ask for the manager that you spoke to last time - they can't just change their minds in the space of a few weeks

I take it you've told the school you're emigrating?

You'll be fine, you try that hard to enthuse them about it that you can't help but get excited yourself, buy some bunting and make a joke of it!

Sounds good - I bet you beat us to exchange!

My 12 year old was upset when she got home, they've mixed all the classes up and she's not with any of her friends On a positive note at least it makes it easier to leave

Poor girl - I'm sure you're right though - keep saying how much better it will be in Aus.

I'd ring again and ask for the manager that you spoke to last time - they can't just change their minds in the space of a few weeks

I agree

They look lovely, so cute!
How's the organising going? Did you get your finance questions answered?
