We had a family goodbye party so got most of the goodbyes done that way. Some friends came too so even more ticked off the list at the same time. Try to keep it all to a minimum, it's emotionally and physically draining. But, once you're sitting on the plane and you've taken off, you're so focussed on the next step in your new life that all the heartache becomes a distant memory.

Good luck on telling your parents.

Which part of Perth have you chosen to live in?

Hi Dolly,
Thanks for that and all the replies, it will be hard I know I need to harder up..
We've have two very different areas in mind and haven't yet decided. The first is the Northern suburbs ir Joondalup areas, Ocena Reef etc. However when we did this recent rekki we went to the South Mandurah and found a place that I loved and felt at home in straight away, this place was called Madora Bay, beautiful. But I haven't done much research on this area and would like to find out more about it before committing. Its so hard as we have 3 kids so we need to find an area and stick to it, it is unsettling enough without us keep moving schools etc.

So if you know of any contact who live in this area I would love to contact people.
Cheers jan
