Is it pathetic.....
 

To have your recce trip highlighted on a planner on your fridge and to cross off the days until then? Please tell me I am not the only sad one on here doing that :lol:

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

No it isn't - I remember actively searching for anything remotely Canadian online when there was nothing constructive I could do.

You are normal and excited :)

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

:thumbsup: lol, me too

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

That makes three of us then (in addition to crossing off dates on my planner lol!).

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

You're not pathetic and thanks for sharing. We have all done silly little things to help us cope with the surge of excitement. The prospect of moving to a new life can be most daunting. When it all got too much I'd ring up my nan and we'd go for a nice walk to the shops.

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

Thanks for understanding :) It definitely is one of the most exciting decisions we have ever made. OH came home in a horrible mood the other day and to cheer him up I let him cross off the date for that day on the planner since I hadn't done it yet. It made his day :rofl:

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

Definitely not!

We did the same... or maybe you are, and we are too!

M & B

P.S. Hope you enjoy it :)

Seems like perfectly rational behaviour in my book! In addition I have written 1-67 in my diary from date application was recieved at Sydney-Working on current processing times-upto 18th March - I circled the date:o

It certainly alters your mindset this application malarky!

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

We did the same thing and when i sent off for our nominations etc i had estimated dates highlighted on my calenda i drove myself mad checking my emails

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

That would definitely be the ultimate form of self torture!

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

Yep, circled the date (67th day) in my diary, I'm so glad it's not just me.

We had our first stressful moment in our bid to move. We got a call from the bank on Wednesday to say that OH's card had been copied fraudulently and was at risk. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but it's the card we gave to the CIO to take the fees. We rang our consultant immediately and he emailed us a new form, which we signed and he faxed over to the CIO. Luckily, it looks like OH's card hasn't been used, which is a relief as our Canada fund is in there!!!!

I knew the process would be stressful but this was an added stress that I hadn't even imagined.

We used to listen to Fredericton Capital radio on the internet, and sit and watch the webcams to see the weather:D so no you are not pathetic :D

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

Now you listen to radio 1 courtesy of Sirrus satellite radio :rofl:

Re: Is it pathetic.....
 

lol that is so true!!!! I listened to Edmontons rock station The Bear when I was in the UK via tinternet - now every so often (though not for a couple of months admittedly) I listen to Chris Moyles :rofl:
