Candygirl Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Good luck candygirl - keeping my fingers crossed for you :smile: Thanks Val. I was very relieved at the Post Office when I finally said Goodbye to the package, but now that I am back home, I feel more anxious than ever. I am checking the Parcel Force website constantly to see where the parcel is:err: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna333 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Ordered the case for the phone that should arrive a few days after me in Melb. But more importantly, packed my bags yet again as I leave LA shores (stop-over holiday) for Melbourne tonight... See you on the other side Saturday! Eek!

Futureinoz Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ok update time, so sorry for not being on here for a while, have been busy with work and DIY, carpet being fitted today for our house, ready for more pictures, and hope it will be rented soon (yep still wanting a tenant), started saying goodbye at work, as dont want them to be surprised when they enquire and the email fails to be delivered, now that leads me to wonder how many of us, use work email for our banking, retail, and other non-work related, luckly we have not, but we have had to change emails address's as connected to our ISP, and that takes ages to change over! Its garden day today, could be the last day of fine weather we will have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianaos Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well garden is done and carpets and vinyl are down in the house ready. Just hoping for a tenant to move in soon. All the work done yesterday and now I am feeling stiff and sore so today will be spent putting more stuff on eBay that needs to be got rid of before we move to oz...plus it's raining... :sad:...not so unusual in the UK, I know, but sunshine is preferred.

dianaos Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Had good news from my boss. I will still get my bonus even if I hand in my notice now. My contract says I don't get any bonuses after handing in my resignation but he is prepared to waive this as they can't offer my job to anyone else until after I have handed it in. We are leaving on the 23rd Nov so was going to work right up until the last couple of days. Now I am going to get an extra £3500 (before tax) so that's a bit more to take to Oz and I get to take time off work for packing etc so very happy. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
