One week today!

we have only got one week to go - this time next week we should hopefully be near singapore!

we r soooo stressed and nervous and wondering if we are doing the right thing!

lex has finished school and ballet which set me off cryin even tho she was fine! we went to see hays today to say good bye to her and leah and connor we had a lovely time at the park and went for dinner and we both burst in to tears when we had to say bye - but i quickly had to pull myself together so lexie couldnt see me get upset!

we went for dinner at my mums at weekend and that was very sad because i thought to myself this is probably the last time we will ever do this!

as much as we are scared and sad to say bye to everyone we still know we are doing the right thing - we just never knew it would be sooooo hard!

sunday will be the worst its lotties christening then we are having a leaving party so every one will be there and we will have to say bye to everyone all at once!!

i am still getting no sleep on the blow up bed!

xxxx

aww chelle, We had such a great time with you guys yesterday, but it went too quickly! I tried really hard not to cry but it kinda slipped out! I think we all managed to talk Leah into giving it a good go over there though, so thank you!

I'm so excited for you!! You have waited a long time for this, but the next week will fly by in the blink of an eye.

I shall miss you, but i know you're only an emial away until i get out there myself........is the offer of Gav's aupair still open?? easier than me re-training!!

I wish you lots of luck and I love you LOADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Of course you are doing the right thing - you have to give it a go anyhows or you will always be saying "what if". Just remember YOU WILL be homesick, it WILL take a long time to get over that. Also, all the familiar things you are used to will be different. I am gonna miss PRIMARK, DOROTHY PERKINS, BOOTS, SUPERDRUG, etc. but there are equivalents and we will just have to get used to them! Just remember, you are allowed out if you decide it's not for you.

Have a great adventure and don't compare UK to OZ just enjoy it.

Lots of luck and best wishes, wish we were coming with you xxxxxxxxxxxx

Les

can not believe that you are on your way (and just a little jealous too)

Good luck with the Christening, great idea, gets all the goodbyes over in one go and it will probably be such a whirlwind you won't have time to be too sad.
