Well guys we are a mere 4 sleeps till take off :raebanana

We fly at 10am on Monday, yikes! Excited, yes, worried, not anymore! Thanx to Stevie & Jan Im revved up and keen to get there now. Even Jack our 3yr old keeps askin when we r goin and he keeps showin people his surfin moves! We are currently stayin with MIL which practically speakin is cosy but ok however she is sufferin bless her, I did opt to stay elsewhere but was out voted! Everythin was in place for our arrival but the 'kind' lady who verbally agreed her house to us has given it to someone else! How rude? But in the words of Catherine Tate, Am I bovvered???????????? Got our eye on couple more, and bein a big believer in fate (especially after the last 6mths) I know whatever house we find is the one for us.

I have taken some pics of the John Mason crew at work and shall be takin pics along the way, and despite Paula tellin me how to attach them I just cant get my head round it. How do I find out which URL number the photos are? I can cope if I can browse for photos but dont get that option. Advice welcome :yes

So a big thanks to all so far and a big hello to all in NZ coz no doubt I will be callin out for advice soon :laugh See u out there so keep the pleasant weather for us, please!!!!

Sounds like you are well chilled at the moment - have you been hitting the bottle by any chance????? (think many of us were at this stage!!!)

Good luck with the next few days! ;)

Hi Amanda

Hi Amanda,

I tried to reply to this last night but for some reason it wasn't letting me. :wah

Where do you save your photos? They need to be hosted on a website such as www.photobucket.com (you need to register but it's free). You then need to upload your photos to the site - you can browse for your photos using the browse feature that should come up on screen. Once your photo is uploaded you are given 3 options - URL link, HTML link and IMG code. You need to copy the URL link.

On the forum you then need to click the insert image button above - icon with a sun and mountain on. You then get a pop up box at the top left hand side of your screen into which you paste your URL link e.g. for the picture below the URL is : http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/pinkpiggy66/NEWZEALANDAPR2006/Moeraki1.jpg

Let me know if you need any more help.

Best of luck with the move, can't believe how chilled you sound, just living with the MIL would drive me round the bend.
I am sure that the week before we go is going to be horrible but it sounds like you are organised.

have a great time.

Hi Amanda and Dan

So glad that everything is finally happening for you, I have followed some of your previous posts and realise that you have had some very emotional moments along the way.

We too have a teenage daughter (nearly 15) and she has been pretty difficult too to say the least.

Have a safe journey, and hope to catch up with you when you are on the other side.

Take care all

LesleyS

Get off the forum and get to sleep! Good flight guys, see you down here - curry mmmmmmmm

[LesleyS]

Amanda,

You make the curry sound like the 'last supper':laugh , don't blame you tho you must be so excited:raebanana - get to bed early, tho if you're like me you won't sleep in case you miss the alarm going off.

Have a great flight and chill out if you can.
