Girl from oz....home sick.

[cookie]

Hello. I am feeling homesick today. :rain:

We have only been here for 2 weeks and today i find myself cranky and frustrated.

1. Our furniture and stuff has been delayed by another month - we moved out of our house a month earlier and stayed with the in-laws to avoid having to wait too long for our stuff. The transport company has already once given us a later date and now again another date…..eeeerrrr. Cranky, cranky, cranky, mega cranky....it has been a complete ****-up by the company who is shipping our stuff.

2. I am not overly happy with the house we will be renting out. My husband got a little gun-ho and asked for the application form...oh too long to explain. Thank goodness it is only a 6 month contract.

3. I hate the car we bought too. I know this sounds really silly and insignificant, but the roof is too low for my liking and I keep on hitting my head on the roof when I prop myself up.

4. I hate our temporary accommodation. We are on a farm in our own little contained accommodation. When we first arrived here i was just so bloody glad to have arrived and i gladly overlooked things such as the crappy dishwasher and too many other things to list. No doubt this has all been magnified with my current feelings!

I'm sorry......I just need to have a bit of a rant.

I guess because of all this stuff I miss home. I miss my own space and my own stuff. I know I've only got 2 more weeks here, but when we move into our house on the 14th it will be with rented furniture, until another month later when our stuff (hopefully) arrives.

I 'spose I am a bit emotional too because my little man started school this week, and I am afraid for him. He is really homesick and hasn't adjusted well to the cold. Like every parent I hope he makes some really good friends and is able to fit in as much as possible...I don't want him to feel like an outsider.

Hopefully in the morning I will be feeling different….hopefully sleep will recharge my positivity!

Thanks for listening.

aww hun, things will settle down soon i am sure.
You are brave to have up sticks and gone down under....wish i had the bottle and the money!
Just think its early days, the best is to come. Moving house is stressful anyway, but yours isnt an everyday housemove.

Chin up, just think in a few weeks you will be on here bragging about your nice house and the sunshine""cutey""b

oh bless you, I cant imagine what you must be going through.

And I cant promise that the weather will get any better :cheesy: or that you will get used it :cheesy:

But with any move there will be a period of being unsettled, things will get easier.

Your little fella will be great too, kids are so strong! I bet that by the time your furniture arrives he will know the names of everyone in the school!

Welcome though! x x x

poor you, hope things will get better soon, it must be so hard adjusting to the cold and everything, when my relatives from oz come over they spend the whole time shivering, we're all ways here for a chat if you need one.xxx

Poor you, its bound to be odd at first, home sickness is awful and you must be missing family and friends also everything must seem so different and you've come at the worst time of year weather wise. Are there any Aussie societies where you can meet up with fellow imigrants from home at least that might make you feel better. I guess you just have to give it time.
Are you here for good, what part of Oz do you come from?

Hello and welcome to the group.

I'm sure your son will soon be having fun at school, and you can meet some of the parents and make friends too.
