No probs Paul. I still can't believe we got ours before you, and I will never understand the inconsistency, but hey, getting a visa is a bit like having a baby....once it arrives, the pain, sweat and tears are forgotten!
Just make sure you keep in touch, would love to know how it all goes for you. x
