Oh Kate, its obviously been a sad day for you but it has come around so quickly now and June will be here in no time at all.

 

Sending you hugs too ((((hugs))))

 

Surround yourself with the children and adjust for the next few days and you'll find your temporary routine until you are all together again, but it will be all the more exciting with the next step plans for the future.

 

Keep smiling

Good luck with all the planning for NZ. It's a fabuloys country. My OH and I went out this time last year to visit his brother and sister-in-law. I loved the whole experience.

 

Just try to think of how lucky you are to be going to live in a such a wonderful place. I'm sure it will come around soon enough, but understand that the temporary separation must be a wrench. All the best! :)

OOh I feel for you, I hate being parted from my hubby, we spend as much time as possible together and never get fed up. I also have a lovely MIL they are not as bad as they are painted :D

 

Roll on June at least you have a British spring to look forward to and those GCSE's to do and lots to keep you occupied.

Have you heard from hubby? What stage of his journey is he at?

 

Not heard yet :cry: , but wasn't honestly expecting to. He should be mid pacific by now.

 

Working on our times (ie not adjusting to local times) he took off at 2:25 yesterday, should have landed at LA round about 2:30-ish (am), 3 hours kicking his heels and experiences the joys of American immigration (even transit passengers with no intention of leaving the airport have to queue for the priviledge of fingerprinting and retinal scanning) then should have taken off again at around 05:30 for a 14 hr flight across the pacific. Should land 7:30 pm in Auckland, then he has to wait best part of an hour for a 30 minute flight to Rotorua. Finally at his destination at around about 9pm tonight............or approx 8am Friday morning over there :shock:

 

I think he'll be very tired and fed up with all the travelling. He did say that he'd try to ring/ email from Auckland if he gets the chance, but otherwise I may not actually hear until quite late tonight when he finally hits Rotorua :D:D

 

I will feel heaps better though when I know he's landed safely.

 

That said I am feeling a lot more positive now thanks all. I had a weak, weepy moment this morning when it felt that everything was going wrong, just triggered by a stupid mistake and a little bit of people seeming to deliberately trying to make life more difficult, but I've pulled myself together, done a heap of ironing and I'm decluttering with a vengeance :D

 

It's brilliant to have such fantastic, supportive friends to help though.......you're a great bunch of people. Thank you :D:D

Thanks :D

 

I know he's arrived safely, judging from the very excited email that he sent in the middle of the night. I'm just waiting until it's a reasonable hour to ring him.............it's 07:20am over there right now, and he likes his sleep, so I'm giving him another 2 hours before I ring :wink:

 

The children have been out all day today, so I've spent all day spring cleaning and sorting just to keep busy. I've never felt lonely in my own home before............very strange :cry: . I hope this feeling wears off soon. I took this week off work, thinking I'd need the time to help sort him out, but I actually wished I was at work today........just to escape the very quiet (and tidy) house :roll::lol::lol::lol: .

It's great to hear he got there alright :D . There's nothing like the first call or email after someone has left, is there?

Dear Hubby works abroad, and though he comes home regularly, loneliness at home is familiar to me.... we had a few times when he was home for a while, then left again, and each time it was so difficult to adjust to again...

What a time you must be going through!!! Take good care and enjoy the excitement, and june will be just fantastic :)

I am so glad to hear he arrrived safely. :dance:

 

Try and think he's left part of him behind in your kids and the world is such a small place these days at the touch of a button you can speak to him or see him (a web cam might be an idea if you haven't already got one). :D

 

Try and plan things every couple of weeks so that you have something to look forward to and before you know it June will be here (and we really don't need to know about the reunion - trust me!).

:talk2hand:

 

Take care.

 

Love

 

Helen

Hi

 

Hope you have a good catch up with hubby when you call him later. I can imagine how you must feel without him, I'm sure you will be so busy sorting everyone out for the big move in June, that time will fly by.

 

Hope you have a treat planned for yourself this weekend.
