You are just getting in practice for when you are here. You grey hair will fall out and you'll be bald too!!

Remember that feeling well!! I've got far more grey hairs now, but as Diane says I'm losing lots of hair too - must be moulting!!

Just keep calm, do things you have to do to get here but concentrate on enjoying your remaining time in the UK. See lots of friends and family and have fun!

Haven't got bald patches or anything, just seem to be losing way more than usual, very odd. Still happening to both my daughter & I, don't know whether it's llinked to change in climate, water, stress??? Who knows!

Why is it that more normal coloured hair drops out & not the grey ones???

Dunno but even hair dye isn't working on mine. My Morticia Adams malon streak is getting more vivid by the minute.

I know the feeling well!!
Why are you waiting till Jan 04 before you apply Ellen?
At least you have sold the house, which is one big hurdle.

hi whyskey
i qualified as a social worker in July 03, for the 139 visa i have to have 6 months post qualifying work experience before i apply, the cool chill of the evenings is reminding me its not that far away anymore! been told the designated area sponsor route (139) can be quite quick, hence all the stress i am already getting, so much to do, but really can't start anything till Jan!!

cheers
