All quiet...

It's all gone a bit quiet with the visa. The last bit of paperwork (the medicals) were sent off on 15th November, so that's it! Nothing more we can do except ... wait.

We have bought a new laptop and have had fun transferring everything over, but at least it means we will be able to communicate straight away, once we land in Oz. It also means that Harry hasn't figured out how it works yet, so it gives me a chance to update the blog!!

I have now stopped working and have 101 things to fill my time with. The kids think it's a bit of a novelty having a 'proper' mum at home - dropping them off at school and picking them up, cooking tea & baking cakes!! The sorting out is quite good fun and I am glad to have this opportunity to get prepared for the big move - it will be all systems go as soon as the visa is granted!

I have received my new employment contract, which is all very exciting and we have narrowed down the area around Perth we would like to live, together with a school for the kids. Term starts on 5th Feb, so it would be great to be out in time for the kids to start back at school.

In the meantime, we are still out and about at weekends, which has been great, and are now looking forward to our last Christmas at home in the UK - can't believe it's nearly Christmas - that will mean it's been a whole year since we first started to plan our adventure - yikes!
