I signed onto the laptop this morning, I looked at OH's email's; DIAC replied to our PLE of last week ; our application was complete and a descision was being made - I immediately logged on to our evisa progress page thingy (oh you know what I mean) , and under each name is said ....

APPLICANT APPROVED!!!

I screamed at OH (who was still in bed ....well in 'matress' - I ran into the bedroom and showed him, I started crying and shakin inside and out, the kids came running down the stairs, they were crying but had no blimmin' idea why  (when I cry they cry - bless 'em), we explained that we'd got our visa, and had a group hug and girlie cry, I was shaking with shock, excitement, and disbeleif!

It feel's like we were the unluckiest people on earth 2 months ago, and now things have done an about turn and I'm just so gobsmacked, I could cry now!! (soft cow)!

As soon as the visa sticker's are in our passports we can book our flights, we are getting out of this damned shoebox as soon as we can, gonna try to aim for 17th July or there-abouts.

I've rung everyone (first person was lovely Auntie Shirl in Perth - they were screaming down the phone at me....so happy) everyone seems to have more question's than I have answer's for at the mo'!?

We are definately cracking open the Moet tonight, none of the cheap Pommaine tonight I can tell you!

More later - I just can't concentrate at the moment... I'm still shaking !
