Default 2 weeks today we will be on our way !

I would have gone through my list well being as organised as I am I have done most of it any way, just waiting for proof of membership from the AA so I can transfer it to Oz so I get a cheaper car inspection.

People keep asking us "have you got jobs to go to" or are you excited and in a nutshell no we are not, well not yet anyway, our leaving party is on the 7th having a big do with a bad and 150 people confirmed coming, any excuse for me to have a p*** up.

We have been with the in laws for 3 months now and really enjoyed having my washing, cooking and everyhtign done. it's going to be a culture shock when I get my own place



:scared: I have missed cooking though.

Anyone else close to going ?

You are really organised! I think it's great - I have printed out all the lists and info you posted and I just wanted to say thanks. As we don't plan to go till Sept I am just starting to get a few things sorted out and your lists will help me a great deal.

Supposedly three weeks today but....

no visa ( not even a case officer)
hence no flights booked, no shippers booked, no pet shippers booked, dog blood tests can't be done, and I am going up the wall with frustration!

We have sorted out our leaving do though!

I think the best thing to do is get drunk until NZIS sort out the visas and then we will see where we are in terms of timescales.
