CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thanks Irish Gal, ClaretandBlue (hope you're getting some sleep!) , the two Carolines, the two Vicky's, Melbourne and Mary (Mr benn) for your wishes!
We started packing up last night and it has started to sink in - after the wedding was such a lovely day we started qustionning whether we are doing to right thing - only natural I suppose after such an emotional day. But we are staying focused as we have been planning this for 18 months and believe it is the right thing to do for us as a family! (despite my mother trying to tell all our wedding guests that we should stay!!)
We're off to buy suitcases with our wedding money at the weekend!!
Good news bout the aussie dollar gong up too!

I am depressed right there alongside you !!!! It would be so much easier if we simply KNEW how long it would be so that we could do some planning.....it is the never-endingness of it all that is so hard. Each month you think you will hear something, and that month comes and goes.....

This is Ashif Kadiwal From India..I have applied for SIR 495 E-lodge Online Visa Application on 20th August 2007. But still there is no response from ASPC. Still I dont have CO..I met my agent today & he told me that due to heavy load of visa application in august 2007. It will take 2-3 Months to finalize the visa process for August applicants..So I think we have no choice except waiting for our visa..Just faith in god everything will be fine..& concentrate on current Job.
Thanks
Ashif Kadiwal

Hello My Lovelies,
Congrats on Visas and CO's this week, I know there have not been that many!!
Lindsayc,
May I wish you and your new hubby all the luck in the world for your new life together as a very happy married couple, and remember your may feel anxious about whether you are doing the right thing YOU ARE!! It will be a fantastic experience and future for your both.![Love](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wub.gif)
Nix and Mike,
We are going on a 138 and so did Irish Gal, I really believe it is pot luck as to how quick it gets processed, if you remember we had loads of problems with the meds and we got our visa on 1st July and our application was lodged on 27th Aug 07, if you look back to when your full ack was as that is the date your application started getting processed at all. Hang in there Hun it can't be too much longer!!![Sunglasses](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sunglasses.gif)
Irish Gal,
Thrilled that you feel soo at me home already and have made and adopted lots of friends and thanks for the tip on the undies
I will be doing a major stock up on the Hopkins Undies status!!
Sold quite a few items in the house this week as I advertised in the local paper for House Clearance so all the bigger items are gone now!!
Speak again soon!
Loads of Love Claire & Gang xx

I now know what everyone else has said about having mixed emotions - am actually calm/freaking out at the same time.
Thanks for the gratz !!
