Default Waiting............for 2 o'clock!

I'm down in London writing this e-mail in "easyInternetcafe" just waitin my time till 2pm.

Down here collecting passports from CHC. Been sleeping with that raffle ticket for the past two weeks!

Probably start queuing just after 1pm.

Then it's back to Newcastle on the 4pm bus from Victoria but the journey will be that much sweeter staring at those lovely black visa's!

Yo NovaBoy,

Steady on the coffee. Don't get too 'hyper'. Just remember, we're all thinking of you, 'cos I know it will be our turn soon.

Have a great day!

Simon

Cheers Simon.

You can't be that far away from the top of the pile! Just keep thinking, the more that get them - the higher up everyone else goes!

Keep the faith Si, it will happen!

Hi Novaboy,

Weather Update - It's now raining in the Toon!
Shame you have to hand the raffle ticket in after getting so close over the past two weeks.

Have a safe and pleasant journey home (for now) to Newcastle.

Steven

Hi Novaboy

Hope you now have your visas clutched in your hot little paws. Have a snooze on the bus back and give Scotch Corner a wave from me as you go past (used to live in Richmond)

Default Re: Waiting............for 2 o'clock!

Hi all thanks so much for the good wishes.

Got our passports back with the shiny new Visa's in, they look real bootiful! But not for long!

Valid to March 2008 - some how I don't think they'll last that long.

Started to queue at about 1pm (sad I know - but I was number six), and guess what Steve, it started to rain in the big smoke too! As it got heavier out came the old kagoul - new it would come in handy one day.

I spent more time checking the Visa's and paperwork than it did to get through the security.

When I eventually got out of CHC it was persistently raining - quite heavy an all! But I just kept smiling all the way back to Victoria singing to myself "It's a beautiful day".

Bus was about three quarters of an hour late getting into the Toon - but who cares!

Good luck to everyone waiting, it is soooo worth it!

Cheers

Glad to hear you are back safe and well. Enjoy your flight on the 24th and, in particular, enjoy every moment of your new life from then on.
