I was talking earlier saying we're not really sure what to do when we get our $100k back. On the one hand we'd love to have our own place again but renting is so easy and cheap. We're out every weekend and we're stuffing money in savings, which we've never been able to do as a house owner.
I just hope we don't love the house too much as we really don't like the area, it has no vibe.


But wont the amount you're paying in rent cover your mortgage?

No way. That $100k will be pretty much all we have and we're only paying $250 a week in rent at the mo. Owning a house doesn't just mean paying a mortgage. Theres the rates, water rates, repairs and maint, etc ..... I'm reckoning on owning a house costing us double what renting does. That's why we're undecided on it.

If you put it like that it makes sense.

We were eager to buy as we have enough and we're not earning so no rent made sense.

Ok.... I am under orders from Wendy to ressurect this thread in the hope it will inspire the powers that be to give us a visa!!!! (I have ever so slightly amended it from Rooksie's original version! LOL)


Half past twelve
And I'm checking the emails in my inbox all alone
How I hate to spend this shit time on my own
Jo farts
Blowing beside me as I look around the forum
It makes me so depressed to see the "got its"
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Please part-time CO
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of B.E.
I give Suze another bottle and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the DIMIA away
Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight...

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a visa after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

I am getting desperate and thought Rooksies Visa Prayer might bring those of us still waiting some good luck.

Amen

Got everything crossed for you guys that you hear something soon. Weirdly, (and I'm sure it doesn't feel like this to you but) it doesn't seem like that long since you applied. Can't believe it's been 7 months!!!

Here is my attempt inspired by your poem

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking a visa would be here by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how DIMA did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so no email came back
from cyber space
I just walked in to find it not here
with that sad look upon my face
I should have changed my stupid PC
I should have hit send/reply again
If I had known for just one second
you wont reply back to grant me

Go on now go walk to the grant door
just dont turn around now
'cause you're not welcome without my visa anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with processing times
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how log to BE
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my threads to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
