When you get your PR

I'm just curious to know what peoples reactions are when they find out that they have been granted their PR.
Is it jump up and down screaming like a complete idiot?
Total silence, can't move a muscle due to shock?
Or, gulp!! Now I can go, do I really want to?

I must admit that I think I'm most likely to fall into the screaming idiot catagory!!

So just what were your initial reactions??

Er.....actually I think I went through all of those reactions, in pretty much the order you've listed them!

I think grin from ear to ear summed it up, then a glint in my eye for the rest of the day.
Also my shoulders rose several inches as they had been weighed down so heavily by it all!! :D

I agree with Mash ... a big grin all day wondering what the next stage is and whether we are really doing the right thing .. but the grin is still there!

Wish I could comment on this one, not sure what I will be feeling when that visa finally arrives but i think it will probally be the screaming idiot catagory.
