Re: Getting the list gradually ticked
I love lists - just getting started on mine! Have removalists booked for 26 Nov, stuff goes into storage then I can clean house and hand keys back to the rental agency on Dec 12th. I then have 10 weeks to sell my car, sort out a police check and cancel bank/mobile/cable tv etc etc. I have taken so much stuff down to the animal charity shop in town over the past 3 months I am practically on first name terms with them lol!
I have asked for a year's leave without pay but they are dragging their heels - of course! Our area director told me that if I feel the need to return to the UK so strongly I should just resign - I just laughed at that one and thought you know, I think I will!!!! Just working and saving hard atm, roll on March next year! Good luck with everything, not long to go now,you will be back together as a family very soon and it will all be worth it!

Lists lists lists. 
Mine are in my head and on paper.
I have come to a grinding halt, without doing number 4 and 5 I can't move onto numbers 6 and 7, even though Dh is working on number 8 in prep for 9.
I hope your lists are moving along smoother than mine.
