It's not easy ...
 
Jed is starting to become totally disillusioned about the whole thing. Not only have I got to keep my spirits up but his aswell now and promise him it will all be ok. :(

Feels like we have been walking backwards and it is all out of sight/reach. Spent in the region of a grand + already and its got us precisely nowhere. :mad:

Sorry, just wanted to offload!!! :o

HUGE SIGH :rolleyes:

Yeah it gets like that. You just have to focus on short-term managable goals. Play it one match at a time like the footballers say.

A bit like Weight Watchers then!?!?

Thanks Worzel. I think having his TRA refused knocked him a bit to be honest and we are skint now aswell having shelled out money on shite agent before and fast tracking etc etc only for it all to have been a complete waste of money!!! On top of all that, we got to start the whole process again with new agent. God willing, wont be a waste of money this time around.

Cheers mate :)

I know exactly how you both feel, we were the same, both gutted and Malc took it worst as he felt he had someone "failed" us due to it being his skills that were assessed. At one point he really wanted to give up.

You will get over it once you start having some good news from your new agent.

Wise words indeed. :)

We hit wall after wall in our "crusade" and fought each battle as it came. It's really the only way.

We said the hardest part is the next hurdle and just concentrated on jumping that one hurdle.

We are now in Aus...hope you can join us :)

Jed is a sod - i have known him since i was 14 and he still bottles it all up and its not until he has a complete fruit (like this morning!!) that i realise there is something wrong. bloody men!!

Like Malc, i know he has been totally knocked by failing TRA and now he is on a real downer (God help me).

Its mad isnt it. however look at how your fortune has turned around mate - you give me hope thats for sure!! :D

You will get through it mate, honest to god. Every little stumbling block you come across you will get over. Plus, when you're out in Oz, you'll look back on it and say things like "Remember when......" and "I was so angry when that happened...." etc etc.

Trust me, we've had our ups and downs with the whole process - it was never going to be all plain sailing. You will get through it.

Time heals all wounds! Including b*ggering off to Oz. It will happen. Just go with the flow on the way and don't let things get you down.
