Well, after my lengthy and rather tedious blog entry yesterday, I will try and keep this one short!
I spent most of yesterday in the car with my mum, with Australia constantly on my mind and not being able to make conversation very well. Its amazing how once you've made the decision to go, everything that interests you changes... talk about future events just seems pointless as your just thinking "i'm not going to be here anyway!"....
So, my mum knows that we have been trying for a baby for the last year, and that it has been a subject of real heartache for me in the last 3 or 4 months. So she was asking me how i was feeling about the baby thing, and to my surprise i found my self telling her that i really am not that bothered about it anymore - which as i was saying it i realised was true! I haven't thought about it since we started planning all this! So i just decided to tell her why!
She took it suprisingly well... and it was such a relief to get it off my chest and talk about all the things that i've been thinking about. I told her that it won't be for another 2 years and that we have to save up 20K to do it, so i don't think she actually took us that seriously! When we got back to my house i showed her some pictures of the Wollongong area, where we want to go, and some real estate, and she got really excited too!
I have still have to tell my sister, and that will be alot worse because she hasn't yet forgiven me for moving 60miles away from her, so god knows what she say when i tell her its going to be the other side of the world now!
Then there is my nan... who cried when we left her on monday morning, so again not sure how she'll take the news either!

At least you will have mum on your side who can stick up for you thats a start I am so glad she took it quite well. Good luck with your sister I dont envy you on that one. Your nan will be ok at least they have each other over here. I feel really guilty as their is only my mum and dad my gran passed away last year. I told my mum I had asked for advise on the forum and she laughed there are sooo many of us doing the same thing....
Let us know how you get on have you got your visas yet? |

We know exactly what you mean when you say "everything that interests you changes" ..... at times the wait feels all consuming !.
I hope that your family can all accept your decision. It is hard for them to accept, but I think you have got to remain positive. If / when you do start your family, I think Oz will offer you all a better life. Good luck.. |

Hi Debz.... nope we haven't got our visas yet, long way off! We're looking at 2-3 years before we go... :-(
Ian - its wierd isn't it! Hubby and I have always been into exploring new areas, and looking for new potential places to live in the future! But now everywhere just looks boring! Living in Brighton area, we have a real love for Victorian and Edwardian achitecture, and we normally love pointing out beautiful houses to each other, but now even the most beautiful Victorian Townhouse looks small, grey and miserable!!! So in an intsant our interests have changed!!! I worry that if the move falls through, we may never be able enjoy the UK again - we've been bad mouthing it so much recently!!! |
