Re: April 2007 Applicants
Lisa and moonlight, so sorry to interrupt but i just have to say that i wish you all the luck in the world with the good bye's. I can sort of relate to what duanted is saying but as of yet i'm still stuck here being an August applicant so it's gonna be ages before we get there. It is hard saying goodbye but it really is going to be fine and you are doing the right thing you will be fine and like someone said earlier you'll have an excellent tan, it's currently 22 degrees in Sydney according to my desktop thingy on my laptop. Goodluck to you both. 
I've taken my little dog up to the kennels today and I'm so upset!!!
I feel so stupid but I can't stop crying what the heck am i going to be like next week saying the goodbye's to my family???

Re: April 2007 Applicants
Flying tomorrow and still feeling ok. Had times of sheer panic and feelings of sickness which comes and goes.
dreading the good byes tomorrow and in a way wish I could just go now. Feels like we're just waiting now even though still so busy. Keeping busy has been the key for me. I still seem to be keeping things together as I haven't had 5 minutes to just sit and relax.
Don't think it's sinking in yet. When it does.......

Re: April 2007 Applicants
Thankyou suesk, I wasn't short of family and friends wanting Betsy but knew that I wanted her to stay with me. I'm just worried about the flight really, she flys tonight at 9.15 
I will be so glad to phone the quarantine in Perth to find out that she has arrived safely (fingers x).
We had our farewell party last night, it was a brilliant evening and whilst my friends were crying at the end I just couldn't, I was focused on our new life that lies ahead and just really wanted to enjoy the evening. Not going to be good though saying cheerio to our parents, brothers and their familys and then my 19 year old daughter, but at least she will be coming out in March for 3 weeks.
It won't be long for you now so good luck

We have our party booked for 1st March im sure there will be quite a few tears too. Im glad you had a good nite and by the sounds of it were very brave. I can understand about mums and dads and goodbyes not looking forward to that.
Just had little ones last birthday party in UK which felt a little weird but it went well.
Do u think your eldest will stay when she comes out in March?
Not many more sleeps till u go. We are going on 22nd March but OH comes back 15th April coz house hasnt sold arghhhhhhhhhh.
Good luck with your newlife.

Re: April 2007 Applicants
Hi Everyone
Well the time has come for us to leave
We've done most of the goodbyes, just a couple this morning before heading off lunch time. Last night was the hardest of them all, I felt a complete wreck when I climbed into bed at 2am! I had doubts last night whether we were doing the right thing or not. 
My 16 year old daughter is in a terrible state, 
we're both feeling under the weather anyway with coughs and colds and I don't think we've ever cried as much as we did last night, she has never wanted to make this move anyway so I always knew it would be hard for her.
We plan on coming back to the UK for a holiday in 18 months so I keep telling her to give it her best shot and if it's not for her after this time she'll be 18 and can return. My son who's 12 is so excited he can't wait to start this new adventure. I am so looking forward to a relaxing night at the hotel this evening before our flight tomorrow then we have a couple of days rest in Hong Kong and arrive in Perth late Monday night. It'll be non stop again then 
That just leaves me to say good luck to all who are still waiting for visa and good luck to you who will be leaving soon. Thankyou to everyone who has given me advice and help, I would love to meet up with anyone who will be moving to Perth or those already there.
I'll be back on BE soon
p.s My dog arrived safely in Perth on Monday night
