Red face How did you cope with the waiting?
I am one of life's planners. I enjoy looking at all of the options available to us and making plans; because of this I am finding this waiting soooo very frustrating!

I know it is all part of the 'game' and everyone get through it; I just wonder how, how do/did you get through it?

Jack Daniels is definately a good idea!

This site certain helps even if it is only because I can live vicariously through the posts of those that have 'gone before'!

Sarsa,

I know exactly how you feel. We're waiting for the final nod (hopefully) aswell.

I'd agree with all re. Jack Daniels though. LOL!!

I found pulling my hair out and banging my head against a wall quite helpful.

Default waitin game
it is a bit annoying trying to get through, but think of the good life when u get here. it only took us 10months to get our visas and we came more of less straight away so it was upon us before we knew it, plus all the leaving do's make the time fly in and the hangovers!!!!

good luck and think ahead
