yes caroline i agree, they r growing fast, mine are 9 & 8. my 9 yrs old doesnt want to go to oz, i carried him out there til i was 31 wks preg, he is very sensitive and he thinks of the people he will leave behind. he can not make this decision for us though, he is too young, i think i know what will be better for him, it is hard leaving, we had a huge leaving party in 1995 when we left and still a huge crowd at the airport when we left, we were so upset, it was only hubby and i then. i know it will be worst this time with kids, if you can try your best and have the least people at the airport if you can, we will certainly do it different this time, fingers x we do get the visa again.

[QUOTE=carolinemaria;6195532]I can give you some even fresher blood!

When I announced I was applying for Oz my mum was understandably devasted, my dad was really overjoyed (sounds like he was glad to see the back of us!). My dad is really keen to live out there with us and is busy persuading my mum (she is playing hard to get and bribing him with jobs around the house!) He is now studying all things OZ (although my parents have been before).

I've been telling him about the August thread. So this week he bought a laptop and worked out how to plug it in and switch it on, and now he's following our august thread (he's a quick learner). Yesterday he said ' I saw your message last night". I feel like a teenager who's dad is reading her diary!!! Can no longer swear (the vicar will be pleased). Anyway all say

'WELCOME FRANK'

He doesn't know how to log on yet (he he -don't tell him).

WELCOME FRANK


Come on in!!! you wont be the only golden oldie on here, I keep my eye on them all, you have to make allowances for some of them, cos they do like the wine (hic) my daughters don't even post on here, but I like it here cos they all sound like a great bunch. I am hoping to get out to Oz eventually am just playing an even longer waiting game, wait for daughters to get out there , then wait till they settled, then wait for visa processing. So in the meantime I occupy myself watching the Augustees play the waiting game, what will I do when they are all gone

bextaroota

Hey Dizzy- didn't see you there! I'm usually on my own at this time of night! Just catching up- BE Augustee mum so ya are! Oh and we'll always be here- just on a 'we finally got here' thread!!!!!

Dizzydame

Hi Bex, I been on the phone nearly all night, only just managed to get a last look

Dizzydame

Its been a really exciting day, I've been on and off since 10.30 this morning

bextaroota

I edited my last quote, it has been an exciting week hey?!

Dizzydame

when are you planning to go?

bextaroota

Probably August/September- enjoy one last British summer! It'll take us that long to get organised probably- sooo excited it's ridiculous

Dizzydame

I can imagine the excitement, I know I will be just as excited when my daughters get theirs, Think Aug/Sep good time to go, get summer here then another one over there, my daughters were planning to do that but they both have their houses to sell, so even if they get visa they can't do anything with it.

bextaroota

We still have our house to sell but I think it'll go fairly quick as it's at the lower end of the market...(!!) Hopefully anyway!!

I guess I should really be heading off to bed my contact lenses feel like sandpaper, mouth feels like a rug, gotta get up early to run parents to train station (they've been staying the week up from near Skeggy), they've been looking after my 4 year old while I nurse my 1 year old! Some holiday for them!! Bless, they're great. Hope there's more good news tomorrow- nite nite non-Dizzydame

Bex xx

Dizzydame

Nite, I'll turn off the lights give you a break

bextaroota

Thanks BE's mum- you're a sweetie xx

Dizzydame
