Default Yipppeeee We got it too!

The wait is finally over!

WE GOT IT!

It has taken us 18 long months, but we are finally on the way, our agent rang this arvo and told us the good news. My hubby was playing squash at the time, so i went screaming like a nutter to the local leisure centre and told him the good news and everyone else who was in a 5 mile radius!

Shippers are here tomorrow and we move out of house on Friday, staying with in laws for a week, then book flights and Brisbane here we come!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all on here. This site has been a godsend to us.

We will keep you all posted and update as often as we can.

Good luck to all.

Love and best wishes
Melis and family.

Oh, forgot to say, i will probably do everyone's head in until we go firing more stupid questions at you all!

Hubby has been bt engineer for past 10yrs and i work in a small family business - facility management, very interesting. Hubby is hoping to stay in same line of work, but i will probably have a year off, then i will do anything!
It's nice to hear you have settled so early on and the children are enjoying themsleves.

I will pm you when i have 5!
