We're looking at the 1st week of December now... gonna wait till get visa and then book flights.. always get that 'feeling' when i say book the flights.. It's very final and i get nervous.. Will be ok. but i've never flown long haul and get quite clausterphobic. docs have offered drugs but still get quezy (?)

permanant well thats what ive planned for

we sold the business and property in the uk

as i thought that if we had left our house as our own it would be to easy to say it didnt work and return

with everything gone you have to make it work
that and we gave ourselves a target of 2 years
( the idea been even if we didit like it we would be able to get australian citizenship for all the family and be able to come and go for the rest of our lives )


regards steve

ps so youll be coming over with santa :rofl:
