Poca&Dan Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hello all, This post has no relevance to anything but am just desperate to chat about it and see if anyone else is feeling the same!? We fly on 5th Jan, in 2 weeks we will be getting ready to land in Melbourne! I just seem to have come to a standstill! Not excited, not nervous, haven't even thought about it! I know there is a list of stuff I still need to do, but it would appear I am now in denial! I think may be it's because it is xmas and I am so consumed with having a good xmas that Oz has been pushed to the back of my mind! It's crazy!:biglaugh: Haven't been on PIO in a few weeks, thought I would just log on today to see whats going on, and all of a sudden I'm like OH MY GOD I leave in 2 weeks!....but still nothing, have that thought, then it goes again! I keep thinking back to when we first decided to come out and it felt quite magical and adventurous, I'm so pleased that a year down the line, here we are waiting to pack our remaining bits and go! Sorry for the rant, just wanted to get it off my chest! Good luck to all of you who are about to embark on this adventure and Merry Christmas to all!

Great to hear that you have a job Lindsey, good luck to your hubby too for the interview. Melbourne is on our list too,but not made a final decision on location yet. Hubby in IT so lots of jobs there for him. Debbie xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am having a lovely last christmas here! It has snowed all week which I like to think is for my benefit and I finished work last week so no worried of having to work over christmas! Having a proper christmas at home with the family, which my mum is really appreciating! I don't know if these feels are normal or if it is just because it is christams and there is so much more to think about! Had a little cry yesterday, but can't tell yuou if it is because I am sad, happy, nervous or just have PMT!!! Good luck with your future plans and hope that it all works out for you! Best wishes to everyone for 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobandCatherine Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Tell me about it, been packing for the last couple of nights (flying boxing day) and saying bye to our amazing friends over the last few days has been really hard - we feel that we've wrecked our mates Christmas. Coupled with concerns over baggage limits etc. means Christmas has been very much on the back burner, still New years eve will be something else! Good to see your still on the way lindseyf, had been wondering what you were doing. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhus Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 We left 5th Jan last year, weird time, we had christmas with my parents then flew from there. Good christmas but closer the 5th came the more time i cried as it was the last time we would see some friends for a long time. Try to enjoy your last few weeks. as they say ' she'll be right'. have a good trip and try to enjoy the big adventure you are starting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest barney1450 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi I leave on the 30th January and land in Melbourne too. I have had mad feelings - stressed with finishing work last week and trying to meet deadlines and targets, and feeling guilty I didnt achieve everything, but it was'nt without a fight. I am in cornwall with my mom, sisters for xmas and plymouth for the new year with my dad. I have had a lot of feelings of scared, anxious, exciting, but recently felt more emotional, obviously the day is nearing and I am going to miss my family. So I know how you feel. Have wonderful friends meeting me and I will be staying with them for a few months, but i really want to find my own place as soon as possible, so that all my furniture and personal goods are around me, which will ease the pain - i think!!! Anyway good luck with the move and keep us informed. Tonia xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poca&Dan Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I kind of wish that we had booked the flights for straight after xmas as now we have 8 days and am just counting, I know it will be hard, so just want to get it over and done with! Good luck to everyone making the big move, ahhhhhh, can't wait! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
