How did you manage that Mandy? I thought only I managed stupid things in the kitchen like sticking my hand to a very hot pan when someone spoke to me!!

Hope it gets better soon.

Well bledding h3ll babe, you got me yelling with your tales of just as you were leaving. You have been so darn positive thoughout all of your application and everything on here. You are one h3ll of a person and you'll always be a Lancashire lass at heart, some of the phrases you've used are just sooooo funny i've always loved reading your posts and feel kinda sad that we're not moving to Bunbury, what wi you, aston and Jazzys all over that side it must be absolutely hilarious the majority of time!!!

Anyway coupld of quick questions for you that are playing on me mind. How is the website going? Is your mum etc ok with it? And just for the record which limo company did you use? Just for future ref as we are planning on booking the b1tch but just incase we can't we certainly don't want to use the same fella who was supposed to pick you up!!!#
Thanks again for fantastic postings and i hope your eye gets better soon

Thanks yeah my Mum is good with the website - though some days i have worried it may not go down too well - decided that if im gonna do it may as well do it properly and truthfully hey?
I cant remember the name of the limo company - they were recommended to me but were based in Burnley. There is one in Blackburn near the Tennis Dome which is apparantly very good - but who knows after my experience My eye is good thanks - just got a bit of a yellow bruise

Of course babe, we actually had them done on the 4th Jan, they we're sent off 7 days later (time it took for blood test results to come back) but we had decided to get them done for ourselves we hadn't actually been requested for them at the time. As for waiting, i spoke to our agent and apparently we haven't got a CO, we got our FRN and full ack on 21st Jan, we are still waiting our CO. Our agent thinks that we should get our visa by the end of April hopefully. When did you apply? Would you mind pm'ing me instead,i'm just concious that this is mandy'spost and we are going off topic slightly. Are you going through an agent? What type of visa are you applying for??
