We made it

Well its been a while but we are now in oz woo hoo, things got very hectic before we flew so never got chance to write on my blog. Unfortunately house never sold so i gifted it back to mum so at least we have no ties and can start afresh. We stayed at peregian beach in a holiday let for 2 weeks and thanks to my lovely friend annie we have a stunning 4 bed rental right by the kids school for 12 months until we are ready to buy our own. Ryan started school the 3rd day we were here and he thoroughly enjoys it, it will take him time to build friendships but i'm sure he will get there in the end, ellie-mai has gone back to her old day care and her friends are still there so she is all settled and mark is on his second week into work and is loving being back, it feels like we have never been away. For those planning the move it really is quite stressful be prepared its not all fun and games when you arrive, i had to take a step back and remind myself i was no longer in the uk and things are done differently. Dont wait till the last minute to do things i.e centrelink, medicare as they can take up to 3 weeks to sort ours has only just come through now, same as electric, gas and internet get onto it straight away we waited 2 weeks for internet to get set up, be prepared to pay out money upfront its just the way they do things here, well now all thats done we are pretty much back to normal. Weather is amazing had 2 days of rain since we have been back, so everyday ive taken the kids to the park or beach and its been amazing to feel so alive and free again, i'm going try and not take it all for granted like last time and just enjoy life.
