Well as the title says we have 38 days left before we depart these shores.
The removal men come in 6 days. I am trying to be helpful and move everything thats going into one room. This means the house looks bare. It also means the boys are sleeping all together on a mattress. Not much sleeping is getting done but lots of giggling.
All the cases are lined up neatly in our bedroom. Still need to find new homes for heaps of stuff too. Washer fridge microwave sofas bed drawers desk all not coming with us.
This still doesnt seem real. Who would have thought little old me would emigrate! Thats something other people do. Proper grown ups.
Whoop!!! On Thursday afternoon I got the golden email. My visa has been granted. I screamed I cried I panicked. It was always unlikely that it would be denied but nothing prepared me for feeling so pleased.
Evening Thursday 11th: Garry made the call to his uncle to see if the work was there for him. It was! Another hurdle overcome. Another jig danced.
Friday 12th September: I am weary. Kept awake by a 5 year old whom does not belong to me. Booked one way flights to Aus. We leave on the 7th November. Now it feels real. Booked one way travel insurance too. Cancelled home insurance. Sent a notice letter to landlord. Cancelled tv liscense. Nipped to town bought 2 large suitcases. Still need another large and a medium case. Have packed some of the boys clothes that they can live without. Told my mum she was not a happy mummy. What can I do? I want my children to have a better life. They wont get that here. It breaks my heart to upset people but I have to do whats right for my little family.
The other evening Hubby suddenly announced he wanted to go asap. November not April as he didnt think he could stick out his current job that long.
Cue me frantically arranging on site qoutes from removelists and cheking airfares. So far we have had two removelists round. The first the baby bit! The second was slating other companies not very proffesional. Waiting on the qoutes but fingers crossed it wont be too bad since we are taking so little.
HMCS letter confirming sole pr arrived this morning so is now on its way to Aus house. Fingers crossed for me please!!!
