Oh my word - this is getting real now... All four of us have now been approved and our passports should be back from the India High Commission in London next Tuesday.
Stepping up a gear in the house searches now with lots of advice from some lovely people out in Bangalore.
Hopefully the furniture can be shipped in the next week so we may actually be reunited with beds, settees, pizza ovens, xboxes and lego in January!
Just need to get some flights booked and the rest of the UK bits 'closed down'.
