An Emotional time

Sat watching 'Wanted Down Under' and I'm a complete mess!
So excited about the move but just thinking about saying goodbye is really tugging at my heart-strings.
It's going to be so hard, but I'm happy that we're going to get a chance to say goodbye properly and have a party with everyone (once we know for sure!!).
So many things going around my head, happy, sad, anxious, excited.
I know we are doing the right thing.

As a reminder to myself I went to Oxford Street in London on Monday and it was so depressing - Grey, Noisey, Dirty and looking very sad for itself as lots of roadworks. Plus on the way home I ended up having to sit on an arm rest on the last train because it was so busy - fair enough this was because of a festival, but not the first time I've had to stand/sit in an awkward place on the train!
Another reminder - I left London at 13:20 and got back at 16:30!!
Here's to the '30 minute city' :)

Hobby

All set and ready to go...with a new hobby.
Decided to treat myself to a professional DSLR Camera and a couple of lenses as [hopefully] I will have time to myself when we move!!
It will be great to continue what I loved at school and really get involved with the science of Photography.
My intention is to also join a camera club as an excuse to make new friends and explore my new home :)
As I get going I'll be sure to load up my pics on my blog.

... New life...New hobby GREAT!

Healthcheck time!!

Finally heard from immi!!
Have to send a few documents plus get our Healthcheck done :0D
Woohoo - looks like we may well be on our way end of Oct!!!
Now I'm getting anxious :0/

DIY #1

Well having a need to do something - I cracked on with sorting the bathroom out! I've made a small dent in the 'to-do' list anyway!

Limbo game

Well immi have taken their money (3 weeks ago) plus my nomination has been approved!!
Still waiting for confirmation, receipt & allocation of case worker, but informed this 'should' be in the next week or two!!
Fingers crossed we hear something soon, it is very hard to do anything, cant plan, hand in notice or get rid of anything until we know for sure what's going on! Plus difficult when people ask "so when are you going then!??"
We'll know soon enough I hope :0\

Second Honeymoon

We've just had a well deserved break from things. Pete & I went on our 2nd honeymoon to Egypt while my mum took the kids to Cyprus! Needless to say it was great, read plenty, relaxed and got a good dose of sun :) At Cairo we were informed that at 5pm it was 46'c!!! No wonder we rushed to get back on the bus ;)
