Default A common thread but...OMG I am moving on Saturday

I am sooooo nervous and I have contributed so little, but please give me karma...

I have shipped my stuff and still need 3 excess bags. And I keep crying when leaving my best friend, parents, cat (who had a scale and polish today). I sooo want this move but feel really down...I don't mind whichever job I end up doing...

If you want jobs, move to Calgary or Edmonton.

Good Luck Allie!

We came to BC in April 05. We turned up in a country where we didn't know a single person, and had only visited for one week previously. But we're ok now. In fact, we had a party last weekend and that was a great success.

Things are always terribly daunting when you're facing a complete unknown. Just keep talking to people, you'll start to make friends and that always makes things feel better.

PS. Don't forget your Bisto, and Walkers Cheese & Onion crisps. Our experience is that you'll be needing those.

Take care,

Sarah

ha! I bet you can't think what we are on about ...... you just wait til it's you standing on the edge, summoning the nerve to jump!

..... actually by that time you kinda feel like you are being swept along by a strong wind that's gonna blow you off that edge whether you have reservations or not!! :scared:
