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
