newbie but not???????

G'day All,

 

I have decided to finally register to prevent my better half (ali@51) appearing to have a split personality.

 

After 16 months of planning, the day of my departure is almost upon us. I leave from Manchester on Friday for 5 weeks of hard graft on my own searching for employment, a car, permament housing, schools and a church. As we speak Ali is doing the fandango around the lounge at the prosepect of 5 weeks peace (not) on her own with 3 children and a Fiat Punto (the Kia Sedona having just sailed into the sunset to Scotland).

 

After all the goodbyes I am starting to feel the onset of mild hysteria - whether this is the effects of Newcastle winning 3 games in a row, the prospect of actually completing my enormous to do list or the sheer terror of what we are doing no-one (least myself) can actually tell!

 

I will endeavour to let everyone know my impressions of Adelaide once I get there however please be aware they will be those of a middle aged man with 3 kids allowed out on his own in a foreign country for 5 whole weeks !!!

Hi Morgan:)

 

Have a good trip over.

I hope all goes well and that things do fall into place for you :)

[Guest Roo1]

Best of luck Morgan. You are not the first to go ahead and make it all a smooth transition for your family. I'm sure things will be fine. Not sure I should mention this but you can actually buy a house in 28 days! Would the OH allow you to do that I wonder,

 

Let us all know how you get on, plenty of libraries have free Internet access, so they'll be no excuse!

mad or brave?!?!

 

Sensible I'd say. I don't thnk I could talk Tracey in flying out with the little Djangos on her own somehow. I don't know how you managed it Morgan :confused:but well done.

 

Good luck with mission 'find a life'.

Good luck Morgan. Hope everything goes well. I would like someone to go on ahead to try and sort a few things - but like the others, I could not take the journey there alone with the children!!

 

Its was difficult enough last time we went (without the children) staying sane after those long hours travelling!!

 

Let us know how you get on over on the sunny side

 

 

Hazel.
