I know it may be tough when we first get to Oz as neither of us has jobs yet but we are looking at it as an adventure. Fortunately, most of our family can't wait to visit us and probaly never would have travelled that far without us doing this. I'm sure it will be great for our nephews when they get older too, wish I'd had an Aunt and Uncle in Oz!

We are flying into Phoenix, Arizona then taking a road trip to LA, stopping at a few national parks and Las Vegas on the way. Can't wait now

We haven't got jobs lined up and will think about that once we are there. My mum will visit and probably OH brother and my sister but not much more family around. As long as my immediate lot are there that is what matters to me. I can't wait now and the waiting is getting worse
We will get there though sometimeHope you have a great time.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Morning all,
I was out all day yesterday, so catching up.
Yes, I think that too. Will get the EA to work on her. I hope she will go up another £20k. If she does, we will accept and say we can't take any reductions as it is such a low price.
No viewers - EA was SHUT!:curse:
Hope you enjoyed your curry.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DTP
Sorry I missed it yesterday. Hope you had a great time.
Have a great time in Scotland Ic. Hope you have some good news when you get back.
I couldn't live with my MIL. EEEEK You are a brave woman! 3 weeks - not long to go. As Tum said, say your goodbyes early and say everything you need to say then have a quick hug and say you will see them soon on the day.
Your trip sounds fab - so pretend you are just going on holiday.
Morning Miranda - will phone the drains people today - it was a public holiday yesterday and not much point phoning them. The house was built in 1912 so almost 100 years old.
Only 2 weeks until you go!! Can you get online at your Mums? Otherwise we will all have to say goodbye in a few days. Have you got everything done that you need to?
Well I had a boring day at the MILs yesterday. she piled a load of her rubbish on us. She is so inconsiderate. She is trying to sort her house out - which has been a tip for 50 years and won't throw anything away so she gives it to us, so we have to sort through it and throw it away - as if we haven't got enough of our own stuff to sort. We had FOUR HUNDRED video tapes a few months ago from her.:curse: She won't take anything of ours that we are trying to rehome. (Even the really good stuff which she needs as her stuff is falling apart.
)

FTB has had the money for his survey taken from his account (or so he says) so hope to hear about a survey this week. He knows we will keep it on the market til the survey is done, but I will keep it on with the other agents to contract have exchanged:
Good idea! They sound good but you never know what might happen. Fingers crossed that the survey is done quickly.
Still got it in my head that this is gunna fall through hope I'm wrong butnot counting my chickens til his signed on the dotted line.
We all feel like that because of what we have been through we have seen what other people have gone through on BE. It's wise not to rely on it too much....
Hope your lady does up her offer she has shown her hand by coming out her way to come and see you (IMO).

Afternoon all
I am really bored as OH is fast asleep on the sofa. He has only been up a few hours and it does worry me sometimes how tired he gets. Think he could just be recovering from all his treatment but you never know do you? He has his first check up next Monday so will have to mention it.
Good idea to mention it - hopefully it's just recovery. Must be hard trying to get him motivated to do things too. Fingers crossed for him to feel better soon.
I have so many things I could be doing but don't want to. I am going to wait till DD moves out in a month so that I can have 2 spare bedrooms going to sell stuff on ebay (stuff to do and stuff that is done).
So you're going to join me in Ebay hell. It's a pain but I've made £400 in the last 3 weeks and still have loads to sell.
Has anybody had any viewers this weekend? Apart from Tina's no show:: How bloody rude:

Happy birthday DTP if you are reading this, doubt it though.:
Wonder if he met up with my DD in Singapore airport, forgot to ask her. They are in Perth now as she rang earlier and was in Fremantle, lucky thing
I'm very jealous. Freo is lovely - wonder if she'll bump into PP there?
Just off out now for a curry:be back later

I'm not looking forward to the goodbyes either, but on the other hand I do, because it says that we will be on our way shortly! For me, I've already said what I wanted to say to the people I care about, so I hope I won't be to choked up when we finally say our goodbyes. Anyway, we will be staying with my mum from June 3rd till we leave on June 11th. A taxi will pick us up at 6.00 (morning) on that day to take us to the airport. I couldn't stand saying goodbyes having to check in, go through customs, looking over your shoulder to catch a last glimpse IEKS. Good luck with your last 3 weeks Dinky and have fun!

We had a penthouse suite in the Mirage and business class flights (how much better can you get).

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Vegas is just the best place to go. The wedding was just as we wanted it too. Got married in the Valley of Fire with just the Minister and Photographer, photos were amazing except that there were 230 photos of just me and OH with spectacular views We had a penthouse suite in the Mirage and business class flights (how much better can you get). Loved every minute of it.
That sounds wonderful Nicky! No wonder you enjoyed every minute of it! Better than a quickie in st helens Registry office in March.
I went to see DD2 off and it was awful, I just cried all the way home and we are going out with them at some point. It will be nice to stay with your mum for the last week and have some quality time together.
Morning N - A good time at MIL's then Can't you say no to all her stuff? As if you haven't got enough to do.
Bloomin OH can't say no to her.:curse: I try to say no but he says 'Yes'. It's Ok for him - he doesn't have to sort it. She tried to give DD an old Frustration game - no lid, no pieces and covered in filth out of the shed. It was the only thing I manged to say no to. I said DD had a nice new one and threw it in the bin. No one in their right mind would want it. I do wonder about her mental health sometimes.

I know, we ended up driving 50 miles to a recycling centre and paying them to take them off us.:curse:

Hi hun, we're almost done, boxes are packed, papers sorted out, only a couple of more things to do and the paperwork which hasn't been finished can be don in OZ also. Still waiting for our temporary health insurcance as over here as soon as you leave the country you're not insured anymore, no way to work around the red tape either by saying you're leaving let's say the 13th...THEY (who are they btw, I always wonder ) will find out hahaha, oh and yes, I can go online at mums place, so we'll talk later

But on the other hand, she's an old ? lady and won't change her ways so look at the horizon when talking to her (you know that point just above someone's eyes, so they think you are looking at them
and smile and say yes and no once in a while!

Wow, that sounds like you've had a lovely wedding with all the works! Maybe an idea for renewing your vows? You can experience it all again

It's hard isn't it, you know DD2 will cope and is a strong girl and sensible (as much as they can at this age) because you've raised her and 'installed' your values at an early age. And yes it will be great staying at my mums, we live 2 streets apart and I always say that life would be 'top of the world' if I could take her along with me...but I can't...she's only 59 and will come out every year for a couple of weeks, so no long goodbyes, just 'see you next year'

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
Morning all
Just had a quick catch up, doesn't look like anyone's estate agents were hard at work over the bank holiday weekend?
Still no news for us here, sounds like our buyer has gone walkabout
Considering we were looking at exchange last week, I really don't know what to do now, sold the kids beds on Ebay last week, so they are on the floor, OH has sold his car, they pick it up at the weekend, I told everyone at work I was working my last shift but fortunately haven't actually given my notice in yet.
In a pickle, really, as we have been really gearing up for the big move, cleaning and sorting stuff, only to now realise we need some of the things we've got rid of or sold
So, as usual, it is not knowing what is going on that is driving me nuts, me and the OH bickered all weekend, weather didn't help much either! I'm glad he's back at work today
So, WHO HAS GOT GOOD NEWS????
Sam
