My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

The application has finally gone

Yesterday our application to the oz army has finally gone. We had to wait over a year before we could apply, V has spend the last few months preparing the application and yesterday the post office finally took it off our hands. It should take 2 weeks to reach them. Now its just a case of playing the waiting game.

We got the quote for one of the cars the J had damaged it has come in at E 900. Nearly died we cant afford it so we are seeing if our insurance will pay it. If not then its possible we will have to cancel the trip back to the UK and sell the DS lite we had bought for J. It really has put a dampner on things, as we had planned on gettting some new chest of drawers for the boys as their furniture is literally falling apart. that will have to wait now as well as replacing some other furniture that has seen better days.

We have our first visitors arriving on the 6th April, we had hoped to have the house looking good with no tatty furniture but they will just have to close their eyes to our less than perfect home. 

Well back to the books ive got an assignement that has to be in next week as thanks to help from BE ive managed to get some good ideas.

Your visitors are coming to see you guys. Makes no odds what the furniture looks like to visitors and if they don't like it, they are strange friends indeed.

I'd definitely sell the DS, regardless of what's making him behave this way, he has to understand the consequences. Bummer about the UK trip though, There is light at the end of the tunnel - the application is finally in. Good luck and hope you hear soon.

Too bad..

About putting off trip, how infuriating for you. But as the other post says, at least the application is in, so you have something to focus on. Fingers and toes crossed for you!
