Good luck RobDon
 
Hi RobDon and family, as I am back to work tomorrow I may not get on here much for a few days so I just wanted to say-have a terrific flight and enjoy the start of your adventure. May the goodbyes not be too heartbreaking, just remember why you are going. Let us all know how it goes for you in your first few days :thumbsup: GOOD LUCK, Bevissa :D PS. don't forget anything, bloody long way to come back :thumbsup: xxxx

I 2nd that!!!
OMG :eek: have a safe journey, I was almost in tears reading bev's message, such a massive change eh?? How is everyone coping? what are the kiddles like? My worst fear, as our 12 yr old is adamant that he does not want to go and we cannot even talk in front of him as he leaves the room :( :(

Any advice for us? Good of me to ask for help when I would imagine all of your minds are all ova the place. Soz.
Tina.

Awwww Thanks for all your good wishes.
House is bedlam and stinks of Jeyes!! We are having good and bad moments but the bad moments are for people we are leaving. :(
Three of our children are coming and one is staying (he is 19 so hardly a child!) He is the major cause of the bad moments for all of us but he chose to stay and we cant change his mind, heaven knows we have tried. :frown:
Will keep you all up dated, should be doing stuff but the lure of BE is sooo hard to get away from!!

Our son has moved in next door to my mum so at least they have each other I suppose. :)
He has said to us that he is not saying he will never follow us just that he is not ready to move to NZ at the moment so there is still hope he will come over eventually. Its just so hard leaving him behind, not just for me but his dad, sisters and brother too. Ultimately its his choice and he is lucky because he loves his job, has his nan & grandad and all his mates, so its not all bad I suppose.
Anyway back to my cleaning! Oh the joys of moving house! ;)
