It's all coming together...
Last Friday I contacted the IPS regarding the kids passports that we had sent for renewal. I was told they had been sent to my old address and posted through the door 
They had been sitting there over a week, and when we went to the address, they had piles of mail. No-one had obviously been in there for ages. I complained to IPS and to the courier service and moaned about the point of secure means, it has to be signed for, but got little response back. And they moan about ID fraud
I then contacted the police access about our police check papers. They were sent the morning of the conversation, but now I was getting a little worried they too would be posted wrongly. Chased the medicals, told the same thing.
The bottom of it is........EVERYTHING CAME TOGETHER YESTERDAY
(Don't even begin to ask how 
) And on OH's birthday too.
We now have paperwork completed and are submitting them on Friday at NZ House. We have booked the flights for 19th Feb and will be winging our way to your side of the world in 5 weeks.
I just had to post this.......we are sooooo damned excited.
Am Loolah - get that bolly ready mate. will see you on the 23rd if your available.
