Thanks everyone.  My dad went ahead and transferred the money anyway.  He was in a hurry to get it out of his account because he worries about the banks going bankrupt again!  Thank you so much for the advice.  I really appreciate it.  Love this site.  

Hi everyone, happy Friday! 

My lovely nan died earlier this year and she left me money in her will. My dad (in UK)  wants to send it to me tomorrow and has looked at a few online transfer services (transferwise, ofx etc). Can anyone recommend which to use for ease of use for my dad and any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Thank you for the replies.  I really appreciate it.  I spoke to a friend last night on facebook messanger and it was so therapeutic. Also i was asked to write a passage for my nans funeral and that opened the floodgates.  I think I just need a little time to let it sink in, reflect and then decide how to move on.  You're right though... no decisions should be made at the moment. 

Hi there, I've not been on here for years but Poms in Oz was a massive help when I moved over here in 2009 and I'm needing help again

Had a really up and down year (had baby  had to have surgery quite soon after on same day as husband having back surgery, money troubles from being on mat leave and medical bills and husband being off work after surgery - the usual ups and downs) and my nan in the UK just died.  Anyone else had a family member who they love very much die and feel totally detached from it and unable to feel as sad as you think you should?  I honesty feel I will not be able to properly grieve her until I go to UK and not be able to see her... which won't happen for a while. 

I can't go to funeral as my baby doesn't have a passport, I also have a 4 year old and we can't afford for us to go.  Plus I was incredibly homesick before this year and I know I won't want to come back if I go to UK (but also I would not be able to stay as pretty sure husband won't let me take kids to live in UK.... he won't move back because his parents are here).

I feel bad talking to my family about it as they are all going through enough.  Talking to my Aussie friends doesn't help because they didn't know her.  Feeling incredibly lonely.  

Has anyone felt like this?  Sorry for depressing post

Does anyone know of anywhere I can get Walnut Whip in Melbourne? Don't want to pay $25 postage for them ?
