they have started

well the goodbyes really have started. today i said goodbye to a good work friend who is off with his new bride to thailand and will not be back before i leave. having to start the goodbyes has made the whole thing feel much more real! i mean yes i know i'm going but... wow i really am going! OMG! Hooray!
have begun to plan my going away party - it will be combined house warming as we never did have one... been here now for more than 18 months...90 ppl so far = )
have now also booked our train tickets to york... way harder than it should have been... but we have 'em so all good. 4 nights in york will be wonderful, seems there will be lotsa family from all over uk, aust and nz. dad is green with envy that he can't be there!
have had some lovely emails from uk family, will be wonderful to see them x
15 work days... 33 sleeps... and a big hug and kiss waiting for me at heathrow airport!!! x x x
