Question what did or are you going to do

When and if or when you got your visa ??

Let me guess most I bet most got very drunk ?

Did family celebrate with you or was it a mundane affair?

This feeling now is excitment and stress as my medicals go on their way.

Hubby said we will crack open a very expensive bottle of champagne we got at our wedding as you cannot import drink over there. Not sure what we will do !

What does everyone else intend or done when/if they get their visa ?

Hi all,

Firstly a drink and some deep thought. Its time then to confirm to the disbelievers in the family that you are definitely going.

See you there!

Phil.

Slap up curry for the two of us if I remember correctly.

We had a bash in London on the weekend we flew for (as my sister-in-law puts in) those that still do.... Reserved half a pub, went clubbing then crashed in a hotel.

Oh, there were a few family visits and a few too many goodbyes. Just *dont* even think about doing an airport goodbye. Very bad move.

Cool Re: what did or are you going to do

When we get our visas Im gonna decorate the outside of the house with a blow up kangaroo and some corks on strings!!!

We are then going off to the fantastic rainforest cafe in London for a big slap up meal and then Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!!!

After that comes the promise I made to my husband if he managed to get accepted.... (yes I was drunk) a tattoo of a kangaroo on my butt.

We have just had the request for meds today so wont be far away!!!!

Brilliant......this thought will keep me :scared:

We had a bottle of wine, phoned the whole family, back in the UK..cause we came out on a 457 in the hope we got one. Then I spent the next day Dec 19th 2002 at a works do draped in an Aussie Flag! I don't want to think what I will do when we get Citizenship

Cheers

We were in Thailand on holiday. I got a printout of the email approval in principle from an internet cafe and took it back to my wife and little Don on the beach, we did a little dance with many a whoop and hurrah, got a very nice lunch and drinkies to celebrate, had to be a bit restrained though with a toddler in charge.

Read that printout about a thousand times befoe we left Thailand and we've still got it, very grubby and stained but a great memento.

Cheers - Don
