Eventually got to docs yesterday (yeah the French-Indian Scooby-Doo impression must've worked).

Thanks for all your entry's, the correct answer was,..........*drum roll*..............a swollen lymph gland, in response to some virus or other that's making me tickle

Well done Dougie and Janine from Sheffield for the first correct answer!

He dolled out anti-biotics, and ant-histamene's to stop the itching.  General health and mood improving. Purse strings are suffering though - a prescription now in the Uk is £7.20 per item!! I kid you not! Even Dick Turpin wore a mask!!

I've settled in now (mentally) for a wait of about June time for WA sponsor - I've got too much "think-time" on my hands I guess  I'm now starting to worry about our occupation being removed from WA skills in demand list, the MODL (so lose points) and OH is now a year older, so more points down the swanny!  I really hope I'm worrying about nothing, what will be will be right? I really do think that if we don't get the visa in the next six months, we're never going to get it!

I'm just wondering if I should email WA State Migration Centre and explain our situation? What do you think? Or should I just be fepping patient - it's so hard when we've been so close to the finish line we could almost touch it with our finger-tips, then the linesmen have got on the back of their scooter and are now a little tiny speck on the horizon that I can just about see if I squint a bit!
