We think it will be on by beginning of Sept....then we wait......if all goes to plan we hope to be over by Xmas, sooner if poss but depends on house sale really, I know many people are in the same situation. Got some shippers comming out in a week or 2, because of the tools/machinery we taking we limited to who we use but I really like Doree Bonner, they are extremely helpful so see what they say when they come out. We busy getting things sold and starting to organise what we're taking and what we're not, doing well on that front, got loads organised, it will save time at the end. Busy getting paperwork together so it all systems go. was a bit stop and start for a while but we moving along nicely at the moment. It great that Lee and I work so well together, he builds I paint heheheehe......so fingers crossed for the next couple weeks. I am glad to hear that everyone is progressing nicely, I still have to pinch myself that this is all really happening. I was going over anyway but it has been brought forward by 2 years. We both excited but at the same time it very much ......WOW are we really doing this hehehehe but I am sure you all know that feeling. Will keep you posted as things develop.

They didn't even try and negotiate so I obviously sold it too cheap. Ah well, better looking at the cash than looking for it.

Shigella Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Very early stages for us. Today we took passport photos of all the family and arranged for printing for all the different citizenships, passports and visa applications they'll be needed for. A small first step.... :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small first step.... :biggrin: Good luck with the visa process. Hope it all goes smoothly for you. Today I have sorted out the books I am taking = 1 medium box, The DVDs and CDs 3 tea chest size.(think I need to get rid of more cds) Another few bags of clothes gone and took all the photos being kept out of the old albums and frames to make one small box. Now have an enormous pile of dvds, cds and books to sell. The house has been like a laundrette all day. Washed all the duvets, bedding, throws and cushion covers that are going to Oz. Took down all my own Designers Guild curtains to sell at the Curtain Exchange in Bath. They are too heavy for the Oz climate. Waiting for the Landlord's curtains to dry so I can iron them and re-hang them. My house doesn't look like mine any more. It's all good. :wink: Millie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
