Thanks Gill, im glad your first week is going well. Im looking forward to seeing everyone at the airport, it,ll be a right laugh, we can cry on eachothers shoulders then hit the duty free lol.
A meet up in November would be great!!
The airlines are saying we need a visa to land, we dont get ours till after we land, if i have all the documents will that be enough? Thats a new one to me
Butch.....Daz says woohoo, cant wait xx

By the way, anyone considering shipping just boxes over??? I am shipping 17 tea chest size over and 3 book boxes for dvds etc and have a price of only 860 pounds!!
All i am leaving behind are our big items. Daz wants to leave them and make sure we settle this time as they have been shipped back and fro a few times now
This way we get to take everything, even my coffee table and end table as they can be flat packed. I have to leave my settee which is old anyway and all the bedroom furniture and dining room table, but they are just material objects
The company we used are the london baggage company

Hi mandi,
how's thing going.

Wow brilliant news about you booking and are off to start your new lives, didn't realise you were this close to going. Brilliant news and good luck to you all.
I take it your o\h passed red seal exam then???

We have had some bad news last weekend, the couple that put an offer in on our house, pulled out Friday, we were gutted to say the least. All the plans we coming together great, now back to square one

So want to get there for the kids really, get them settled. Me and Trace have been talking about maybe just her and the kids going and me stopping here to sell house. It's Trace that has Job, LMO and her work permit(waiting for it to come).

Horrible feeling to be waiting to sell again. Then I came across your post and remembered what you and yours went through and the determination you have to make it work and press on.

I wish you well and have fingers crossed for you and maybe we can actually meet up in Calgary when we get there ehhh???

Cheers to you all, take care,
Carl

Hi Guys,

We booked our flights this morning, flying out 26th from Manchester heading to edmonton.

I was filling up trying to complete the booking, god knows what I will be like getting on the plane.

We are heading down to Manchester the day before so our goodbyes will be done the day before, so that should be a bit better.

Have sold the house to a buy to let person, have lost a packet, but we dont care now just want to get to Edmonton to start our new life.

Cant believe things seem to be happening so quickly now, after waiting for sooo many months.

It,ll work out Carl, you just have to keep going
Darren hasnt sat the exam yet, he has to go out and do a training course, but he isnt the guinea pig this time, they have all the right tutoring in place, thank god
He,s a bit worried about it, but im sure he,ll be fine this time and hes already swatting!!
Its harder going this time, my family seemed to think we had settled so they got a shock when i said we were going again , it,ll be fine though.
We are also going to manchester the day before and staying in the Bewley hotel, we stayed there last year and it was perfect and cheap.
All the paperworks goigng back and forth at the minute for work permits etc so ive been kept busy, next week i have all the packing to start, i cant see my birthday being much fun this year (20th) its only 5 days before we leave
