OMG That was quick.....Yeeeessssss!
 
Posted application to AHC Wednesday afternoon. Tracked it - was delivered Thursday morning. Checked bank account - money out Friday morning. Have just received one passport with one PERMANENT VISA in it. OMG OMG. Bl**dy husband isn't answering his phone at work!!! One friend just phoned and got me jabbering like an idiot and she became all sad.

Then this site is playing silly b's and being really slow and I am really excited :D

:scared: Now that is something I am not doing :scared: I have seen myself naked and I am not doing that, no matter how excited I am. Just spoke to Kevan's boss who wanted to know what the news was - like I was going to tell him :rolleyes: Apparently he is having a medical at the mo. Doing a bit of dropping trousers and coughing ;)

We must do that drink. Talk about it at the next meet.

Can you send good luck and all the rest to Nessa et al please. They must be like headless chickens at the mo.

Anyone returning to UK next May/June time want a fabulous three bed semi, in a lovely road, close to great school, easy access to London and to Luton Airport, won't fleece you - sod it I will try :D


Anyway I had to go to a "Christmas Shopping Evening" at the school tonight

Hi Penny
Will not be at the next meet, but let us know when your free for a drink.
Seeing Nessa at the weekend, will pass on your message. I think they are getting really excited now. Can not wait to get there, leave a week Monday.
Hope to speak soon

Sam&Andy Nov 11th 2004 1:54 am

Re: OMG That was quick.....Yeeeessssss!
 
Well done!!!!! :D :D

Same thing happened to me, only difference with my application is the fact I had a weekend inbetween Posting to AHC Thursday night, payment the next day (friday) then the weekend and tuesday delivery... and I was out, taking Sam my wife to work. I had to wait another 3 hours before I could go and pick up my parcel.

You will be so relieved that you have finally got it, I know I was, couldnt wait to get here. We have been here a little over 2 months now. Not missing UK at all. We moved to Sydney and both found jobs pretty quick. Got the drivers license (2nd attempt.... :eek: had to do a poxy knowledge test), My Tax file number came through within a week of ordering online from the website

http://www.ato.gov.au

Dont do what I did, got the job, started and then applied for the TFN...DOH! never mind all is well, just need to get the old Medicare card organised, that should be easy enough.

Oh one word of warning, The Drivers License is the path to all things. Without it, its a pain in the arse.

So where abouts you moving to?

Another tip...Fly business class with Singapore airlines, Had a great time, did everything apart from wiping ones botty...superb. Gave us 3 glasses of champers beforewe left the ground :beer:

Anyway...Congrats and well done, all the prodding and tests and forms and life histories are worth it eh???

moneypenny20 Nov 11th 2004 4:02 am

Re: OMG That was quick.....Yeeeessssss!
 
Thanks for that guys. Although straightforward, you still worry. Anyway cleared out files today - no more booklet 1 etc. Computer seems to be working faster LOL.

Heading for Gold Coast next July - if the house sells
:eek:

Love to fly Business but not sure the finances or hubby would agree to that. I think "sod it, new life, go for it" he looks at the price and says "we could buy blah blah blah with that" :zzz: Love him ;)

Glad everything is going well with you and you're settled.
