Meds all done!
Hello,
We have just got in from having the Meds & X-rays done at The Bridge Clinic in Maidenhead. For two parents, and three kids (3 X-rays in total) it cost us £642.00.
It was all very straight forward and the staff were excellent, especially with the kids!
We all had to pee in a pot, except for our three year old and this is tested there and then and was all fine. We were all weighed and measured (just our height that is!) and then had the chest X-rays.
Then all went in to see the Doctor (all together) and he goes through you one by one. He made the kids feel very comfortable and was a really nice bloke. All quite a good laugh really.
We all done the eye test, blood pressure taken, listened to chest & back, felt tummies.
With us two adults he held out our hands, just to see if they shaked by the look of it but we are both fine. We also both had to give blood too which was fine.
He left my tackle well alone and he never kopt a feel of the wife! I felt relieved and she felt very short changed!
He will go over everything on Wednesday with another doctor and all being well they will be sent to Sydney! If there is a problem, they will contact us!
My wife was not looking forward to them but they were very simple and nothing to worry about at all. Just thought I would post this, even if puts just a few minds at rest.

After they have checked them on Wednesday they will be sent and we were told it takes four days to get there.
Its the Police Checks that will hold us up now as we are waiting for them and do not expect them back for a while. Should have done them sooner as we had it all requested at the end of November. But, we have just taken our time and sat back quite a bit after each stage really. Otherwise it does take over your life. We had nearly a two month break from getting the positive TRA result and sending off the 47SK application.
Looking back I reckon we would have had everything done by Christmas if we went full steam ahead........but we never, and who cares! We will get there one day.

What a race eh!
Mind you, your Police Checks are there and we are waiting for ours to come back to us here and then we have to send them off! I reckon you will have your visa before we get our PC's back.
Another step closer and hopefully just one more cost to inccur which brings me on to the following question...
Before I look it up and as you have already done it, how much did Interparcel charge for just sending the Police Checks?
Surely its not too much, after all its only a couple of sheets of A4!
