Harpersgirl Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hello everyone! My husband has just accepted a job offer and we'll be making the move late Apr/early May from Silly Suffolk to Sunny Perth. WOW!!!! All seems a bit surreal at the moment especially as I've only just got round to putting away the Xmas decorations and realised that there is no point to stashing them away in the loft again. So it appears packing has commenced...although as you can see procrastination has claimed another willing victim! :wink: Making the move will be myself, husband Simon, DS 20, DS 6 and DD 3... hoping that DD23 and DD20 will be coming too but they're a bit unsure at the moment. Fingers crossed they'll see the light eh! DS 25 is hoping to come out later in the year. Oh and can't leave Gypsy behind... She's our black lab. Have been scanning the Forums for info avidly all week and am sure we'll be back with plenty of ??? for you knowledgeable folks. First thing that springs to mind tho... Is it normal to feel so scared one moment then so excited the next?! Angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Have you been to Perth before ? ... a beautiful place ... lots of ex Brits ... glorious beaches and weather ... and Yes , it is very normal to feel excited then really scared ... it will all fade away once you land in in that lovely State ...

Harpersgirl Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for your replies guys :wubclub: I have visited Perth before Bottler... back in 2003 but only for a few days. My husband worked there for 2 years tho from 2001 til 2003. Loved it then and always wanted to come back at some point and looks like our dream is about to come true eh! Getting a bit more used to the idea now and am happier now that I know five of my six kids are coming... The eldest is 25 and hopes he might visit later in the year. Simon's job will be in Floreat so we're trying to suss out whereabouts to rent. Both of us are keen on SOR so thinking maybe Melville area but are also considering Stirling, NOR. Whichever we plan on a holiday let for 6 weeks or so to get a better idea first. We want a good primary school so that will be a big consideration too.
