I spoke to Centrelink, its all being processed. They are finding Dh a room on base as of tomorrow night but he is going to eat dinner with us every night as I dont want the kids going from dad-here-everyday to dad-gone-everyday in a blink. They are already noticing something is different so we've had some panic attacks and crying fits.
He's been upset and pretty angry with me, but cooperative. He's giving me majority of the furniture; signing over the Falcon to me and still paying off the last few thousand on the loan anyway. He wants us to try and be as amiable as possible for the kids sake. I hate seeing him upset but its for the best and I feel so...............relieved, like a weights been lifted.

Lulu - unfortunately the kids and I will be hotel-ing it up til I find a house to live in as the only family I could stay with is my Dad but he doesnt have the room for 3 kids + 1 adult (plus its a completel hovel, not even rats would live there!). Dh is actually switching his posting to Sydney so its just a matter of WHEN they can get him there once a spot is available; could be at the end of my 28 days or in 6 mths. He's hoping if its this month or next month that the military will let me stay til he can remove his furniture too so it all goes together and saved them paying for two separate removals. Means he can fly down with me too as I have 2 under 2 so Im one adult short for the flight.

Im going to see if I can find the $$$ to fly down to Sydney for a week if they cant move us anytime soon so I can do a quick run around viewing and applying for houses in the area I want to live in. Hopefully if I do that someone will pick us and we can just move into a house once the furniture arrives (which would be 4wks from uplift).
