Hi Charlie Brown, welcome to the forum (madhouse as most people seem to call it and I'm beginning to agree 
).
Hope everything goes well for you.

[QUOTE=Anne4Terry Please don't say TRA isn't easy We sent ours off (through an agent) beginning of April. My one HUGE HUGE HUGE fear is that it won't go through. We are going out as 138 skilled sponsored but my husband (his TRA and him oldest) will be 45 beginning of September which means that if the TRA gets turned down we wouldn't have time to re-submit in time for application going in before his birthday. I dont' think there is any other way we could out there except on this category. This :scared: face does nothing to express my terror as to how worried I am about this. I just keep telling myself that surely the agent wouldn't have sent it off if she didn't think it was ready to submit

Hi Anne,
Im sorry if i added to your worry
We sumitted ours too through an agent,not easy getting it all together,we were lucky one of our friends gave us allot of help & if it wasnt for him,i dont think we would have got through! our agent passed it back & forth with the note-more info needed
so many times it was dam well frustrating 
Its the first stage,everyone goes through what you are going through at the moment (apart from the age thing) I wish you all the luck i can
& some karma too!
Donna.

Just remember, when you see a post from Bordy it means your PC is frozen so just switch off to reboot. That will clear him.

I don't know what stars or karma mean and I have no idea how to PM someone unless they PM me first. I guess we'll learn. Good luck with the application and stay positive!

We should get our TRA results in about 3 weeks, fingers crossed it's approved as I haven't been very pleasant to live with for the last 3 months

Hi Topcat3 and Ateam to pm easiest way is to double click on name to pm and will give you an option click send pm and there you go, other way is to go
to private messages in top right hand corner and take it from there.
EASY!!!!LOL

Something about the lunatics having taken over the asylum.
I don't wish to nag on your first lot of posting but is there any chance you could take a breath when typing (commas
) I am getting exhausted reading. But ignore me, I'm getting old waiting for the house to sell.

Re: hi
Hi everyone. I am the hubby of Charlie Brown. A couple of points to get you all aquainted with our family. I am a dockyard apprenticed fitter and turner, but have been out of the game for a little while and that is one of the things that makes the TRA difficult. I have just managed to get my essay to the MA and he seems pleased, but wants info from my past employers (hmmm). Charlie Brown is not my wifes real name, call her Shelly, I am Ian.
We don't know where we want to end up yet and feel that the best way would be to have a little holiday when we get there to see what it is like. We are presuming (at the moment) that our base will be Victoria.
You lot are really friendly and I hope that we'll have fun on here!
BTW This smiley is great (right colour), makes me want one
. I do hope that the black stuff is freely available out there as I'm building up a thirst just thinking about how us guys have to sit on a deck chair outside our houses and watch the women run around the block..... to prove we are not terrorists!
