Oh my god...

Passport back in post 9.15am, flight booked by 9.45am!!

Flying just after 1pm tomorrow with Emirates from Newcastle. So many little things to do! So many people to tell...

Feels like I have been delayed for ages but it's only about 2 weeks later than I was originally going to fly.

Feeling sick - one way flight!

Thanks guys!!

Off to Sydney, got a job which I'm starting the Monday after I land...

And yes, blimey indeed! One way to make me make preparations faster that's for sure. And to go from -2 degrees to 30 degrees may be a bit of a shocker for my body so I expect I won't be doing anything for 2 days, along with the jet lag!


Something I've just thought of - I'm getting a multi-way surge protector plug shipped with my stuff - but the changing the main plug end...how'd you go about that then? Can you pay someone to do it!?! (I must have missed that lesson at school about plugs and fuses...)

Haha cheers guys, I was already packed just loose ends to tie up, sort out flight clothes etc

Now just about to have my last supper so to speak!! Sister and best mate coming round tonight. Getting train to airport at 9.00am tomorrow so it's all systems go as soon as I get up.

Excited, feeling a tad nervous and sick also. Will feel much better once I've landed at the other end!!
