Re: Marchies 07 - Organising the move!!!
Hi all,
this is getting very close to our last post, spent last three days cleaning things, ready for a final disinfection spray on tuesday before loading. nat has started packing cases and we have about 2 or 3 more tip trips to do, it is hard to believe what we have achieved in such a short space of time since getting visa, Spent 2 hours on phone yesterday with my mate from adelaide arranging a meet up at xmas at what will hopefully be our place in Redland bay area!! had street party on friday got very drunk, mind you champagne was nice lots of it!!!saying final goodbyes to best friends on friday night over a good hot curry and more champagne will be quite a difficult night we think even for a thick skinned rugby player like me
If we dont get a chance to post again good luck to you all where ever you end up and hope to here from you all as soon as we get connected in Oz.
All the best
Steve and Nat

Still no news on the bike. But no biggie, just means until it's sold here there will be no bike in Oz
Kels and Andy's shipping went today, ours was supposed to be tomorrow but had to put back to Wed as just not ready for them! Have just got the kitchen to do and clean the bikes and my phil and teds pushchair (forgot Saturday )
Well off to bed now for another full day tomorrow. my mate Lisa D off the FEB(?) applicants arrived in Sydney a few days ago and she's loving it.! She said a bit surreal but nice..
other than that, the house is manic and i savour silence xxxxxxxxxxx Take care Steve and Nat, good luck, hear from you soon xx S-j x

Re: Marchies 07 - Organising the move!!!
Hi all, sorry havent posted in a while, things've been absolutely crazy
We've finally got rid of all the vehicles (except the Harley which is now coming with us - I can feel a very long vehicle export post brewing in about 2 months time!)
Anyway, we fly to Perth at 12 noon on Friday so this will probably be my last post from the UK. (current forecast for Saturday is 32 degrees )
Good luck to the rest of you with housesales/ebay etc (aargh, don't even mention ebay - that's another very long post when my feet finally touch the ground :curse
See you on the other side

Glad things are moving with everyone, we have less than 3 weeks left and things are pretty hectic, we just moved into moms and boy is it stressful she hates the idea of us going and is making my life hell, she said im the most selfish person in the world for taking her only grandkids away. Any way the last of our stuff sold today on ebay and have done really well, just got to clean the house now ready for the new guys, hope to complete friday so fingers crossed, i just hope the exchange rate goes up before we leave, it must have known we were coming for it to drop like that, we have our leaving party friday yeeeeeeeeeeeah cant wait!!!!

Re: Marchies 07 - Organising the move!!!
Hi guys, I am starting to panic here... Kieran hasn't been so well after his operation and the wound has MRSA in it.....back to the hopistal today for a check up........consequently my mind isn't really on all the matters to hand regarding the move. We are meant to be going in 6 weeks, stuff not sold, finances not sorted, no where to live when we get there, except for the lovely lesley anns sister putting us up for a few days we are then homeless starting to really panic only bought a small jar of marmite instead of monster size.....that shows how close it is. Girls have their leaving party next sunday, but can't get my head round food and party bags at the mo..............HELP!...LOUX
