..f00kin’ off!

..not exactly a teletext holiday.. ‘n not exactly booked on the tinternet (thanks Peter Kay) ..but it works

Our tickets have been booked and paid for now.. and now that we have a date.. we can be certain on what’s happening and when..

** Enquired about travel insurance and will have it organised and sorted by Thursday..

** I’ve checked with my bank.. made sure I can access funds overseas..

** Cancelled Direct Debits and Standing Orders..

** Selling loads of stuff on Ebay..

** DP’s dismantled his cluster and is ready to sell them off ( I didn’t realise how many putes ‘n stuff it consisted of until he listed it..lol)..

** Contacting International Shipping companies to see how much it’ll cost to ship over our tiny boxes of belongings.. it dun even reach 1 cubic metre..lol

** Continuing with the packing that started a few weeks ago..

** I have appointments with my obstetrician and midwife to go to before I leave..

…and bob’s ya uncle! Well.. there’s prolly a lil bit more we need to sort out.. ie. clearing flat and whatnot.. but that goes without saying.. the main part is that WE’RE GOING TO AUSTRALIA! ..lol

We’re departing April 19th.. to arrive in Australia April 21st. I’m looking forward to it.. I’ve never had a problem with flying.. its much like an extremely long bus ride.. and it should be fun for the little one.. having travelled half way across the world before it’s even born..

DP bought a cute lil jumpsuit for the lillun today.. has the Welsh Flag onnit and says ‘Made In Wales’ ..lol ..’cos of course it was *smiles* ..we were gonna hold off.. but for only a fiver.. hadta get it!

..tis a huge relief that we’ve sorted this out.. albeit it being a tight schedule.. financially and time-wise.. it’s a move I’ve been adamant about making since first knowledge of being pregnant.. for me.. having my family around will be invaluable.. DP and I will get the chance to just spend time together, even if only for 30mins in a day or arvo.. not forgetting our relationship.. as well as our family one.. plus I think Australia is a better place to bring the little one up.. there’s more opportunity there, life’s quite different from that in the UK.. and we wanna give the lillun the best we can provide

..here’s to a new life and new adventures
