Would love to see you at craig Tara, except you would not get on the site, they stop you at the security gate and without a pass they would not let you in. I am hoping that I will not be there by the time you get here, will pm you my phone number is my mobile but if I not answer jsut leave me a message and I wil get back to you. I don't turn on my phone at work so sometimes it is in the evening before I get to here the messages.

Very stressed at this stage-its 4am I haven't gone to bed yet!
We will need temporary accommodation for 2 weeks as the rental house is not ready and we will need to be vetted! Maybe 6 months rent upfront? Still lots to do with 4 days to go! Removalist came this morning after another 4AM marathon packing things
So much to do-applying for schools-agencies will help with casual work when we arrive-flights still on schedule
So that something.............

Im sure it will all work out OK, its just a bit stressful right now, Moves like this always are,
at least the airlines are back up and running.

Picture yourself a month or two from now, Dont look back, Enjoy the Journey.

Good Luck.

It must be so stressful. That's the part that makes me hesitate - so much upheaval! I admire you for just getting on with it.

I know it doesn't help to say it now, but this too shall pass, and soon you'll be settled in a new home. Just a few days to go!

Its definately worth it-You have to go home, no choice-Its been a 38 year journey and now its time-we have to make it work this time-the stress is bad but we will prevail-we have a great support network in the UK......

Certainly isn't. I use it in the sense of an 'imaginary idyllic paradise' which, for me, Aus is. All in the imagination, 'cause idyllic and paradise it isn't!!

Sorry if I am behind with all posts, don't have time to read them just wanted to check in.........

Arrived in Malta late Thursday night, on time, Ryanair plays a trumpet fanfare when they arrive on time, so that's what we had! Yesterday I didn't like Malta, thought it was too difficult for me to figure things out and stay. But today I love it. Meant a bunch of expats last night from all different countries, and now feel very positive. My sister and I have seen so much and ridden buses, we feel like we have been here forever already!! Looking for a flat, no go yet.

Hope everyone is well, goodluck to those leaving for the UK and go with the flow!!! All will be well - more details next time but for food lovers - ate out at Mdina, the old city here, this afternoon, overlooking the whole of Malta - strawberry meringue and black forest gateau. Bliss!!

Support is important, thats a Biggy, compare it to Eds struggle with no help, she is truly amazing.


I'm with Sally, to think of all this at once is overwhelming, Im already mentally in throw away mode, I try not to buy anything I may not need, lve been like that for ages, but even more cautious right now.
