    Just wanted to wish you, Alan & Cole good luck and safe travels to your new life down under.

    You have had such an incredible journey so far, but the best is yet to come :D

    Can't wait to hear how you are doing :)

    Oh my goodness I thought I had missed you and you were on the plane.

    I have just read the last few days posts on here and although many have made me giggle as usual, I am actually really crying big fat tears. How mad is that.? . I don't even know you but I also have no idea what I would have done without you since first reading the diary nearly a year ago now. You really were the inspiration I needed to get my head in gear with this mess.I've said this before I know but you are one amazing woman, and I truly wish I had been lucky enough to meet you.

    I wish you and your lovely family all the love and luck in the world . I really do hope we hear from you as soon as you are settled.

    Any fears you have are normal, and I'm sure will be so happy with your new life.

    Grand benders I loved the radio request.Wouldn't it have been wonderful to have had that played in the real world ?

    Missing you already Gargrave .

    Loads a love

    Secret between us - I'm a tiny bit scared, but I'm not telling my hubby:D
    You wouldn't be human if you weren't a bit apprehensive/scared but you've got a wonderful life ahead of you and the right attitude to enjoy it and benefit from it.....

    It's a huge undertaking, I just hope I've done everything I can to make sure we get off on a good footing.

    you have.... look at how far you've come since you started working in London, you've done amazingly well.

    Good luck and don't forget us poor beggars over here "enjoying" the English summer when you're sitting in your garden next week having a barbie in the Aussie winter:D:D

    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Hi - Another member popping out of lurkdom, to wish you Alan and Cole a very safe trip.:D
    Cannot really add much more to what the others have said, you have truly been an inspiration in so many lives - kept some of us on the straight and narrow and above all proved what some hard work and sheer determination can achieve.

    Looking forward to the next diary Aussie style. Take Care and have loads of fun.

    Beautiful sunny day to start your journey. Hope you make all your connections and get an easy ride through customs and immigration. If not, I really quite like the 'Borders' programme and it will be fun to see someone I know on the telly. (or, you know, I could just wait till the 'other' program comes on where you're actually IN Aus)

    Thanks all - just packing up. I'll chat to you all from the other side of the world just as soon as I get my broadband sorted (it's top of the list). ;)

    If well wishes and good luck get me anywhere, I'm halfway there.
