So, the house is packed up - completely! We have a double bed, mattress for Bella, air-bed for Lucas, 42 inch TV and two camping chairs! Most of our belongings are currently in 21 boxes and three suitcases, leaving a few clothes and bits 'n' bobs. You know, ESSENTIALS!
Gemma has finished college, Nick has 9 more days at work and Lucas finishes school on Friday. Bella, quite frankly, hasn't got a clue what is happening :(
It is all beginning to seem VERY real now, but it a strange way it feels UNREAL too! Like we know we're going but can't quite believe it :o)
This week is a mish-mash of packing, shopping, re-packing to accommodate the shopping, shifting the odd bits and pieces on Ebay/Freecycle and saying goodbye to friends and family before we ship out of Ash Vale over to Dorking for our final seven day in the UK.
Anyway, this blog is sure to get a lot more interesting once we are in Oz - we promise!!!
There is def a warm welcome waiting for you all here in Tapping. It's starting to come together, it's strange to start your life all over again, sure it's nerve racking but you know what it gives you a chance to have another go and not do the things you did wrong the first time round when in the UK. Still got the red tape and working hard is essential, but society has life style as No1 priority because shops close at 5.00 and don't open Sunday. Not good if you’re a shopaholic but great if you like the beach or park after work. Cars are essential but very expensive, just paid £1000 for a 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage with 200,000km on the clock and that’s cheap. But haho the sun is just rising and it will be 18degs today and IT’S WINTER !
