Pookie72 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I peed into a pot, striped off in front of a stranger, got prodded in intimate areas and for the first time saw an X-ray of my insides. Then handed over my credit card for the experience! Medical completed, one step nearer hopefully.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metoo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Well we have sold our other house as of this morning. Now the hard work really begins. Hopefully we should be ready to go in about 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hosted not one, but two, leaving parties at the weekend and have said all final goodbyes to all our friends in the UK. Many came from distance and some haven't seen in years. Quite emotional (and costly) but glad we did it. Now hoping we can exchange contracts on house finally today as the packers arrive on Wednesday and we are out the next day. A mere 8 days left in the UK now so spending time with relatives on our last weekend (those goodbyes will be tougher). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mims Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Today I've read an email from tradeassess and that's it! Feeling like day to day life is seriously getting in the way of my progress with things! Realistically things wouldn't be going any quicker if I hadve made more progress today, we are ultimately restricted by items outside of our control but doing something towards the move even if it's somewhat premature makes me feel like the dream is still alive, I want to be one step ahead not chasing my tail and a new stressful job is getting in the way of that plan! Moan over. Tomorrows a new day, aiming to perhaps action the email I read today, small steps are better than no steps right =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered whether I should ring one of the other options and compare.... They vary depending on where you go. Our nearest was Cardiff but we saved £120 (even after after the extra fuel) by going to Maidenhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
