I know Ive said it several times but I am SOOOOOOOO over the moon for you all!!! Im still grinning like a cheshire cat and I wish I was sat in that bloody pub with you now celebrating

We MUST get together for a drink soon...Im gonna be working full time from the 5th of sept so I wont even get to see you at the school

I think you are being given the runaround. How dare they start processing 2008 paper applications and leave you hanging! Are you independent or with an agent?

Mind you - are you really living in Aruba!! There are much worse places to wait

Well done & Congrats

The queue sure is moving now ....

WOOHOO CONGRATS TO YOU ALLTHEJS!!!!!!!!

Things move very quickly once you get a CO don't they!
All the best

Thanks for the congrats folks Feeling a little worse for wear this morning, lol! Think the celebrations may carry over till the weekend as well

We are hoping to go to Adelaide and ideally we would like to be there asap, but the damned house has to sell first Already dropped 30K off price but thinking we might just drop the price right down and hope to get a buyer soon.

Paula, am sure I will see you at some time. Well done on Lee's tra results. bet you were over the moon to get that? Still thinking of Perth? Bet you get there before us, lol

Thanks again everybody

Jacky xx

Awww I hope yr house sells soon Jacky!!!

Yep we're still going to Perth, we're not going till this time next year cos I got a new job at S hotton H all school (sorry for the spaces there, dont want it to be searchable, just incase theres some nutters about ) anyway Im on a years contract so finish in July (although theyve said theyll def renew it, I havent told them yet that I dont want them too lol) providing the house sells that is...hopefully it will as its a lot smaller than yours

You'll have to make sure you holiday in Perth every year so you can come visit Ill have the barbie on an the wine chillin

see you soon mate xxx

Hi Paula, just been looking at flights and prices and so on and have nearly had a cardiac! lol. Don't suppose you know when the easter holidays are for next year do you? We were thinking of going over then for a month to have a good look around and get the feel of the place. Thought we might start at Adelaide and maybe have a look around Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well. Going to be pretty exhausting with five kiddies in tow

Speak soon

Jacky xx

Jacky -

I hear you on the flight prices! We have 4 children - so similar situation. I've been watching the prices climb steadily as the oil prices have climbed.

Good luck with your plans!

Just to give some hope to all waiting out there, they are obviously still processing very slowly, received visa grantletter this morning, applied 175 paper based 17th Oct, Case officer allocated 7th July, meds and pcc not front loaded. Cant stop laughing:r ofl:
Dreading tomorrow morning, going to have the hangover from hell
