We don't have any Pashettes yet - to roll their eyes at us!!!! But I'm sure we'll get plenty of that when the time comes - as there's no point in holding back emotion!!!!
Thanks again for all the advice n' support RT!!!

We've certainly learned that it takes a very long time, and plenty of patience, when it comes to the sale of a business. As you've stated.....'live and learn'!!! We most certainly have learned soooo.....much over this past year.....on so many different levels!!! It's been GREAT!!!
Best of luck with the sale of your business. It will all happen how it's meant to!!!

Thanks for your welcome, and yes I have had some very valuable advice. I have been working on this life change deal for nearly 4 years now, and have learnt as much in the last 2 weeks as the last four years, absolutley invaluable !! I am awaiting a reply from my agent in regards to swopping from the 160 to 163, should not be to much of a problem as nothing has been lodged yet. I am just so gratefull for the direction that everyone has given me on this thread. Next time you all meet up I hope to attend and say thanks in person.

Well done Pasha any good news on this part of the site is GREAT NEWS and give's 'us' further back in the process a warm feeling, evey single one of us will be there, some sooner rather than later.
The way things are going it's going to be one hell of a 'big' party when everyone is over there, I had better rest my liver in anticipation.... starting now!!!!
Well done, you deserve it.

We will get it I'm sure of that, but just want to be able to say we have now. Day 25 tomorrow.
I'll keep smiling, but not half as much as you.

It took us about a month and a half to receive our sponsorship - which is a bit longer than normal!!! So - we, too, were chompin' at the bit!!!
I'm glad to read that you're going to keep smiling - because there's gonna be plenty of reasons to do so!!!!

We trust it shall be a smooth transition - if nothing has yet been lodged.
I didn't get a chance to make it to the meet-up either - so don't feel bad!!!! Hopefully we can have one massive get-together once in Australia!!!
We'd LOVE that!!!

From the tone of your posts, you guys are still bouncing off the ceiling..!!
I trust you have a few bottles of Australia's finest chilling (although it sounds like the party has already begun..!!)
