The last 24 hours have been hectic to say the least! A friend of ours in Oz has been viewing loads of properties for us (bless her - shes been great) and just as I was about to go to bed last night she told me the house she had just viewed was perfect for us and if we wanted to put in an application it needed to be done straight away! Sounded quite simple I thought but I was wrong - 3 1/2 hours later I finally finished completing forms and scanning them back and forth each other. Michelle then got the application straight down to the Estate Agents and it was a case of waiting. We didnt expect to hear anything until next week but when I got up this morning (after 4 hours sleep) there was an email stating that our application had been successful - we're really pleased because the house has got everything that we're looking for.
Today was also Grays last day in work and Danielles last day in school. I wasnt sure how Dan would take it but she was absolutely fine. I was pretty emotional because she had some lovely presents and cards from her friends and teachers. They also made a big fuss of her and the theme for the day was 'Australia' - how nice of them?! She took my digital camera into school with her and took lots of pics and the entire class put painted hand prints on a T Shirt for her to keep. One of the little girls was sobbing her heart out when we picked her up which started me off. I told everyone not to make a big fuss because I would have been a jibbering wreck! It was very emotional but also nice to know that Danielle was so highly thought of.
We also got the Gas Certificate done today ready for renting the house out - the Electrician was supposed to come around too but that was obviously too much trouble for him! I'll get the Estate Agents to sort that out after we've gone because I really cant be bothered with it anymore!
Grays beloved TV is now on Ebay! He ain't happy with that as you can imagine. He only bought it in December but it would be pointless taking it with us as we wouldnt be able to use it to its full potential. He can treat himself to a shiney new one though when we get there.
Grays car is also on Ebay - thats due to end next Monday and then we'll be getting a hire car until we fly to Heathrow - I think Grays more excited about the hire car than he is about Oz!
I think thats about it for now!
