Looking forward to doing that one day 
How was it? Did you get any of the words wrong or sing out of tune? 
Very happy for you

Re: Citizenship
I attempted both in front of my 12 year old son when watching the rugby at the weekend. He sneered at my first verse attempt (which of course he knows through school) and even teased me when I got a line wrong with the second. It's ok, I slapped him. He stopped sneering. Is it just me or is the NZ National Anthem very uplifting?

yes,
the nz anthem is very uplifting, more than the british by far.
other thing the kiwis have got right, put that on the list with tomato sauce.
congratulations on your citizenship.
