For the main house. The rentals are leasehold and we pay a management charge which covers that sort of thing.

Sent an email off to some schools in Oz last night and had two good responses waiting for me this morning when i got up - made me feel loads better

That's good! I should really get my ass in gear about schools... Glad to hear you are feeling better.

The waiting is awful, but i'm sure everything will be ok.

I can't go a day without checking, never mind 10

Truely addicted!!

People have started to get full acknowledgement letters and CO's in the October and November threads, so hopefully not long for us now. The current processing time seems to be stuck at 1st November :curse:

does seem to be something happening so how long is it taking to get a CO am I right in thinking its taking about 4 to 5 months for on line applications

I know she's going for the same visa as me, 175 on MODL - OH's a baker (that BE timeline is very useful)

I'll let you know if i find anything else out.
