Unhappy Official: Visa induced psychosis has hit me!!

Couldn't agree more. Trying to sell the house and get out for April / May time next year. Why aren't I getting any viewings? I can arrange anything until the house is sold. What if it never sells? Somebody please buy my house.

This waiting is much worse than the visa wait.

Chillout now while you wait for the visa because it will get worse before it gets better. Will be worth it though.

Left work a week and a half ago, so that I could get things done and see people before I leave - done sod all, except felt ill and soooo tired! My body-clock is completely to pot (I'm heading towards Ausie time already), I'm forgetting things all the time (which is :scared: as I am a dementia nurse!).
I booked a flight to see my mate in Amsterdam for few days in Dec - then realised that my passport may well be in London at Australia house then - having a nice LSBV put in - still hoping this will happen BEFORE the 14th when I go to 'dam.
Worse thing is the obsession I have with this site - the only tangible link to Aus at the moment - thank the Gods for all of you!!!

OK, own up, who else has burnt the tea? I wouldn't mind but it was only frozen pizza. I'll just put that in the oven and just pop up to see who's been posting ..... ooops. Poor kids, frozen pizza and even that is burnt.

Best go check on the rice now - it could be boiling all over the hob by now but I just had to check ...oops, I've done it again as Britney says

Already done the house sale! We move into rented holiday accommodation next week, hoping that the sale will complete in about 2 weeks. Arranging for removal firm and skip to arrive after we vacate so I can sort out what is and isn't coming with us!

Winding down two businesses, preparing 4 children for a migration when we're not 100% certain we've got a visa!!!!! So although the visa seems small in the scheme of things, we're doing everything at once and a visa would be nice so at least we know we are going. Reading this back it sounds insane but what the heck.....you only live once!!

Know exactly what you mean re visa, I'm just waiting for mine - seems like a full stop at the end of a very long sentence, before the next chapter begins........
Trouble is - the next chapter is entitled 'Now we have our Visa...' !

Good luck with everything, Cas

I know.....we kept stressing cos we didn't sell the house for a few months. Then it sold, so we moved on to stressing over the visa.....Lord help us when it finally arrives!!!! :scared:

As I said previously, the CO specifically replied to our email saying it would be assessed on Friday. It would be so reassuring to have received a quick email afterwards. I'd rather she said 'you'll hear by the end of the month'.

Pity they closed St. Edward's down......!

Did you work at St Edwards?!
I haven't, but have worked at Harplands Hosp and Bucknall - so know plenty of people who did work at St Ed.

See you online later after the film then Mary!
I watched the first one on TV the other night for about the 4th time - ended up in tears by the finish - too emotional at the moment for films like that.

See you next Sat - really looking forward to it!

Don't forget your hanky tonight

No, I'm RGN but I reckon I slipped through the net and missed an admission!!! Can't remember names but went to the Social club with friends of my Mum's who worked there. I used to live not too far from Bucknall hospital and did voluntary work there before starting my training. In a previos thread you said you'd left work, where was that?

Nosey aren't I?????
