Hi everyone!

I am a brand new member. My husband has been on here for months browsing around and getting tips. I am now getting hooked!

I am a 33yr old working mum in Reading, UK. My husband and I have 2 gorgeous girls (age 6 and almost 1). We have a dog & a cat too....

We have PNP status and are in the final throws of receiving our visas (Passports going this week, medicals etc all complete). We are due to go to Edmonton by the end of June 2008. Husband is the advance party, with me and the girls following once the house is sold.

So very excited but also very daunted by how much there is to do and organise in potentially a short space of time.

I just want to go to sleep and wake up a few months in the future when all the hard work and hassle of moving have happened!

Anyway, hope to get to chat to some of you as I do more research.

Hi & Welcome to BE.

Once you get into your new life you'll soon forget all about the move. Not easy when it's ahead of you though.

Good luck

Thank you for your welcomes!

I am ploughing through lots of posts, helps me look busy at work!! I also spent a couple of hours putting together all the checklists and to-do lists....

Hi Mim,

We are hoping to be going to Edmonton in October.

I am already worring about everything , so cant imagine how you are feeling.


Welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome

we are also in the same boat - looking forward to the move asap - but still so much to sort out - we're kind of stagnating at the moment waiting for the next jump forward - when it happens i'll go into panic mode again

Hello. Hope everything goes smoothly for you - it's so exciting and I'm sure you wish you were all going out together but at least if you hang back to sell the house, you can move knowing all is sorted this end.

We're waiting to sell our house at the mo, landing next month but coming back until we've wrapped it up.

Good luck!!

Hi - welcome. I've just joined BE and noticed that you're off to Edmonton with pretty similar circumstances as us. My husband will be going ahead of us probably end of May beginning of June. Me and 2 kids to follow. House is for sale at mo, so it all depends on what happens there, but hopefully we'd like to get the kids started in school there in September. Do you know where in Edmonton you're heading? We're probably going to be fairly close to where my brother lives in SW Edmonton. My husband will be staying there until he knows when we're due to arrive, and then he'll hopefully find somewhere to rent in time for us landing.

Very very pleased and excited to say that we got our Visas back yesterday! Woo hoo

We have until 19th March next year!

Just need to sell the house now... Hubby goes in mid-June (don't leave me here!!) and the girls and I follow once everything tied up.

Congrats We're still awaiting stuff, but hope to be out there by September so the kids can start school. We've just had an offer on our house, so that's pretty scary - we're not ready yet!!! Could be homeless at this rate. Good luck to your hubbie.
