Finally feels real!
So after being in NZ for 4 months it actually feels real and that we're here for good!
Last week, after many delays due to our solicitors, we finally completed on our flat in the UK!! What a relief - no more paying the mortgage on an empty flat!! Also, the spare cash will come in handy - OH already has his eye on a car he wants (and I have my eye on a savings account!).
And this morning we got an email from our case officer saying that we have fulfilled all the WTR criteria and have been approved in principle! Excellent!
I hadn't realised until now how much both of these had been weighing on my mind. Yay!
