    Eeeek - we are moving overseas!

    I am so excited / terrified! I have just accepted a 2 year position over in Scotland. It's going to be great, but sooo much to start organising. Where do I even start?!? Anyway, I can't announce on facebook yet because I haven't handed in my notice for my current job, but I wanted to announce it somewhere!

    Thanks everyone I actually didn't get either of the two positions I applied for before but this one is better (and better paid) so it all works out in the end I am moving to Stirling. Apparently my granny and granddad (My mothers side is all from Scotland) spent their honeymoon there so that is nice. Not moving for a few months and still have the visa hoops to jump through, but its all looking positive for now. Now just to convince DS that it will be a great adventure. If anyone has advice on preparing kids for a big move then I am all ears!
