Re: The Migrants Guide to Emigrating and Settling in Australia
I'm so pleased with my cat, he has been catching roaches and has developed an appetite for silverfish... but now I'm thinking I'd better leave putting down bait incase he eats one which has crawled out to die from the bait?
Since he's been catching stuff I haven't seen any live roaches... but I've not been too eager to give him a cuddle either... wouldn't want roach kitty breath!

Obviously I am a dead butch blokey with no fears...but would honestly crap myself and scream like a girl if I saw a huntsman running at me!...and how the hell are you supposed to get them out...couldnt squish em as would leave a right mess!

Good for you Kay!! Let me know how you get on. We can share notes!!!! It's going to be quite difficult at times for us over the next few months but try and remember that it is only a state of mind and that all we're doing is trying to adjust that state a bit.
Good luck

Hi Kay
I will keep a lookout for your update, my husband actually said this morning that my fear could be a real issue if we got over there, I tried to act all brave, but a phobia of any kind is serious. I know we are joking around on here, but I have serious hang up's, I felt ill after seeing DD's photo yesterday.
I hope you get on ok. (Is it good friday your appt, or following friday?)

Hi Kay
Things are going well. Should be sending 2nd TRA off on Thursday to agent. Cannot wait to get this weight lifted off my shoulders. I think the waiting will be a welcome relief after the stress of putting this new application together and telling the rellies!
Good luck for Friday. I am in Manchester so I may use your contact (if things go well for you!!!).
Regards
Nikki
