Hi Kevt,
yes we went by fast track - paid the extra $200 (I think).

Fantastic feeling isn't it, I remember telling friends that we had ours back and a blank and vacant look swept over their faces, at least on this forum we know the effort, tears and frustration it takes just to get the TRA sent off, well done, now the next bit.....

EXACTLY!!! People either think " what are they talking about " or in the case of my mum - think that we are now " In ", when in actual fact we still have a VERY long way to go!!!!

Just be prepared for people to think that you will be on your way very soon. When we got ours back in Feb, everyone assumed we would be on our way. Only those going through the procedure realise how long it can actually be. And it can get a little frustrating explaining over and over that we will still be here for a while yet !!

It will keep you sort of sane. And the upside is most are going through or have been through it.
