Thank you all for your kind wishes. Here's an update. It has been such a hectic time and computer and internet broke down so communication has been interrupted, now fixed. Very happy with our choice of school as the culture is what we expected. In the end, it has been worth renting a place for to get our son in the school though costly and I'm glad were not in the unit while we're selling it. Belatedly,we have been able to buy a place which is in the school zone, with settlement in June which ensures our son's education their until the end of yr 12. The auction to sell our unit is this Saturday 30 April. So we are hoping that goes well and we get our reserve price, there has been reasonable interest. Packing,moving,cleaning and gardening have been hard/painful work with me taking the lead. My pain specialist has also shifted during the process too far away to see him, fortunately he has referred me to a colleague locally who has turned out to be a worthy replacement. My dad and step mother have helped by sending over meals when we moved into the rental and assisted my husband move the small things which was much appreciated as they are in their mid 70's now and have 11 children between them. Now I can see an end in sight I feel a sense of relief- one place to look after where things don't keep breaking down with one set of bills and we can relax-last week in the rental we had no hot water and a sparking power point. Unfortunately, it's been stressful time for our family, exacerbating issues that were already there and my husband and I have begun seeing a marriage counsellor. Our son is unsettled at home but doing well at school. All my difficulties seem like such first world problems. The man who came to fix our phone/internet at the rental had a photo of two beautiful boys on his phone when I enquired about them he told me the 18 mth had died 40 days ago in an accident it puts everything into perspective. The man's name was Ali. Your prayers are much appreciated, for Ali and his family also..
Sorry, I'm so tired and rambly
