It's time to go!!
 
Last night we booked our flights...we're going home 17th Oct.

OH has given his notice and shippers have been booked.

Words can't describe how I'm feeling at the moment so just a short post today.

Thank you for your replies and I wish you all best wishes for the future.

Now the shock of us actually making the decision to go home has passed, I am really looking forward to going.

Christmas is nearly upon us and it is the best christmas present I could have wished for.

You'll be back just in time to begin the Christmas festivities. All those M & S mince pies, chestnut stuffing, Christmas cake...I could go on and on and on and on.....

Yes, we're going back to Chichester after spending some quality time with my parents in Surrey and inlaws in Cornwall.

We'll be heading back to North Mundham once our belongings arrive. It seems such a long time since we left, but it'll be good to get back!

Yum, Yum!! I'll feel like a Christmas pudding by then as I'll be 7 months pregnant, so I'll have an excuse to indulge. It's a shame I won't be able to have a glass or two of mulled wine.

Debbie just read you post....so jelous!!! can I ask how much is your removal costing? we are planning to go home next July (08) and to tell you the truth it seems just like a whole lifetime away the way we are feeling at the moment so If we can save any money on going home it will all help.....we will not be going back with much money (after two home builds and 1 sale at the wrong times)and that is the only thing that is keeping us here at the moment, my husband has just gone working in the mines North W.A and does not like it but it is only for the money.

When are you going home? when we decided about going home I thought I would be thrilled but I felt scared really....but then after a couple of days it cheered me up but now I just want to be home....yesterday if I could....so don't worry if you feel different things....remember why you first thought about going home...and keep that thought...also I remember looking at things after we had just decided and thinking "oh they are not that bad" but that was because I knew we where going...the mind plays funny tricks on us!! once you are on that plane you will be fine...the lead to any move is stressful wether it is around the corner or overseas....just think...lovely crisp Christmas Mornings....Redbreast Robbins, Christmas Carols....Bonfire Nights...New Years Eve!!!! and just nip on the plane and be in a different country in under an hour....and cheaply!!!!

Good luck and it will all be fine......
Jackie who is today in a land far,far away in Perth W.A
