what a day...guess what?
Well today started very badly, my husband who was due to return from Germany on Friday called to tell me he has to stay another week. 
Then my mum called to tell me my nan has passed away over night. She had cancer and it was expected but it doesnt make it any easier. 
Then 10 minutes later our agent called to say.....WE GOT IT!!! :scared: 
What a bitter sweet day. Guess i will have to get drunk on my own. i can hardly phone my mum and tell her. She has enough to cope with.
So not exactly the way i wanted to find out. i wish i could feel happier. never mind hopefully by the time OH gets home next week i will be in a better mood to celebrate.
FYI we applied on a 136 MODL ack on 16th June.

What a mixed up, emotionally charged day you must be having! Tears of sadness as well as joy.
So sorry to hear of your Nans death, just because she was so poorly doesn't make the pain less.
Congrats on what can be the beginning of a new chapter in your lives

sorry to hear about your nan, both my Aunt and Nana died of cancer, both were expected but it never made it any easier. It's hard now, but look forward to your new life in oz. Like you, I wouldn't have told my mum about the visa either, I'd wait until after the funeral if you can.
And congratulations about the VISA, not everyday you get told that a new life awaits you.
best wishes
Dave
