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?

People on the forum and trying to convince myself not to think about it as it was so far away ...
Still it came round soon enough

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'!

I dont think i'm coping that well at all!
I have started cleaning things out, thinking of what I need to sell to lighten the load. spending way to much time on this forum. daydreaming a lot. and otherwise just going mad!!

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.

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
