two and a half weeks to go!!

We are booked to come to Aus on 2nd May I have a job and the OH is coming over for 2 weeks and then he is flying back to the UK to sell the house(hopefully). I guess I have read posts on here when people are getting ready to go and you know it is going to be difficult but I am finding it very strange. I have handed my notice in at work and leave on Friday.That is quite liberating as I can delete e mails without having to do anything about them........ but is it very scarey too.I really like my job and the staff team have been great.I have a couple of leaving do's ahead of me...........

Then we have just put the house on the market, sign went up yesterday. The house has now been fully renovated and looks great(2 years of mess prior to that!!) and with the lovely weather our village looks so nice.Also started meeting friends to say goodbye.
I am worried about missing my family, that is the thing I worry about most.God I already sound like a winging pom!!!

Just wanted to share imy thoughts as so many people will have been through this.I know it will be worth it but finding it more difficult than I thought!!!
Anyway my last Monday morning at work here in the uk!!!

Hi KC

I know what you are going through. I felt like I was in a scene from the matrix everything was still going on as normal and I was just stood there with the world passing me by. It was a very odd feeling. But then it could all have just been a dream, should I take the red or the blue pill now?
