New Zealand Bound Hopefully October 2006

Monday 19th June.

Today we are moving with haste to get all the right information for our ITA pack, Meds are done and just waiting for the return of our results and xray's are complete, still waiting for the Police checks but good news is we had confirmation back that we are well within the 40 day wait now so should have them back some time early August. Trying to keep focused now and have a week off to get all the other things needed on the check list, work experience paperwork and references from my previous employers and all other outstanding that I can put into our folder. The three children are getting excited now and have started to ask more questions again about New Zealand, this is a a good sign now as previous weeks we had the doom and gloom of leaving there little world behind them that they have got so used too for over 22 long months now.Chatted to my good friend in Auckland on skype this morning and he is exicted too about our move in October so hopefully fingers crossed everything will be in order for that date, he has been our there now for a good 5 years and has now finally accepted Auckland as home and not the UK as this seems to be the case for a lot of other Pom's that find it hard to adopt there new homeland. But I'm sure we will settle down along the way and will find the first 12 months a littel rocky as many have done before us, we have done this trip once before so exictement awaits us all. Looking on other blogs who have already made the journey and keeping up with them from day to day is also exciting and finding out most in Christchurch have had a good southern snap of cold and the snow is on the ground down there is strange as the UK has had a good two weeks of glorious sunshire here.
