Am I turning into an Aussie addict?
 
Started with decision to apply for visa

- followed by buying every info book I could find on ebay/amazon

- all television programs/documentaries with a hint of Australia is a must

- instead of working I am constantly glued to BE

- only Australian wines are now purchased and drank in our house

- bought Australia's favourite heel balm to try out

- now have purchased 'Aussie' shampoo and conditioner, the bottles have plastic kangaroos stenciled around the bottle necks - Macadamia Nut oils in it, and it smells devine - makes my hair fantastic!!

Mind you, as still at work I havent got attached to Neighbours or Home and Away - no doubt this will be added to list of addictions once my notice period is up.

Do I need help? Or is this just a normal phase for people in visa limbo land?

Yep, and the next stage is becomining a BE addict. For that the requirements are:

1 - Drink Loads of beer

2 - Talk loads of Pish

3 - Check in at least once an hour to make sure you haven't missed anything.

4 - Drink even more beer

:D
