linda@no9 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi elfie, hows the injury? I think once 4th Aug hits and work is done, son arrives on 8th, that's when i'll start to realize what is happening! We have the shippers coming on the wednesday, thurs and container arrives Fri. We fly on the Friday night 9pm. (getting goosebumps thinking about it!!) Gonna be strange to think I don't have to pack. However, have thrown lots away in prep for it. Beautiful rental in Hillarys awaiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda@no9 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Oh heck really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfie Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 yeps really ive even tracked my belongings in the container they are presently docked in Belgium tomorrow they are then loaded and shipped to Italy which takes 10 days. So Friday is the deciding day I can then contact shipping company to arrange for the container to come back from Italy then it will be 3 weeks for my belongings to get back to UK, John before that I hope. A bit less than if in Perth end of Aug they would not be back in UK till end of Oct hey in time for xmas though ........... I have had enough to be honest. From the day John set foot in Australia its gone wrong so if I cant fly on the 28th then its a sign that its not meant to be..... all things happen for a reason.

JAK Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Elfie, sorry to hear you are feeling this way. If you can't fly when arranged how long will you have to wait before you can fly? I bet you are feeling so low at the moment because of your injury and not having your husband with you and not being able to contact him easily must be awful and he must feel the same being so far away and not being able to help you. But after all you have been through isn't it worth giving it a try with you both in Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussiMel Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 We are going to be staying with my sister in Carlisle to start with as I hope my daughter will go to the same school as my niece. I will look at renting and eventually buying around the surrounding suburbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda@no9 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi Mel. Hubs has a rental in Hillarys to begin with. I guess the tough part is going to look for the rental to put our furniture in as this will be the deciding area for schools for our 7 year old.
