Sorry but I just have to say, oh my giddy ant! My house has been packed up today at long last & only 6 more sleeps til leaving Oz after 11 years, I'm rather excited I've managed to sell my few household appliances so there's nowt more to do except to start saying goodbyes. Whoop!

Best of luck with your move. The sun is forecast to return, so we will try and keep it around for your arrival.

Good luck! I hope this is a fantastic move for you!

Thank you very much, I'm really looking forward to a new chapter in my life & if the sun is shining it'll be a bonus. Cheers

Good luck! I can't wait to reach that point!

Well done, I'm sure it will be just as great a move for you as it was for us. Dont forget to keep us all updated.
Good point about the sun shining being a bonus, at least you dont think it is the be all and end all.

Cheers chris955, the weather is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things is it? Yes it's great to have good weather but it's nothing compared to having all your family around again, beautiful countryside & all the wonderful places in Britain & Europe so close. I'm so, so looking forward to being back in Blighty

Yes I couldnt agree more, I'm surprised by how many people that will say that the 'better' weather is the main reason for going to Australia. There just seems to be way more important things in life. I am seeing Britain through new eyes

Congrats! I love reading about the excitement of those returning home can't wait until I can do the same next year...

have to say I am a little jealous! Have a great trip over!

Looking forward to saying 'welcome home!'

It's so great here. You'll have the best time

Fandabbydozey another Brit making a move! Good luck I'll be off in over 2wks not quite 4 good yet but setting up for next year.

Absolutely!!

have a fabulous trip! under 5 months to go for me and I know you shouldnt wish your life away but.....

Good luck, good luck !!! See ya there in under 2 months . You hit the nail on the head with the whys and wherefores....all the questioning in the past and the doubts and fears just start to pale into insignificance when you just know it's time to go home Yeehaaa!! ...except there does seem to be more snow in Uk right now than here in sunny Nova Scotia , Canada ......no, I ain't changing my mind

Bon Voyage Enjoy and hope you settle in as well as lots of others have! Just in time for the Christmas spirit!
