Well I figure the first three months won't be so bad as the last so it can be a bit warmer then - I just don't want to be walking around at 8 1/2 months in 110f heat :o I think that might kill me!!! Of course, if I am working up until then I will be ok because there will be better air con than here... saying that, we want to move before we plan on having kids - a baking hot one bedroom apartment is not something I want to bring my kids up in!!!

The volunteer work varies from transportation (which I obviously can't do) to data entry and admin to selling merchandise so it is a mixed bag - I just checked all the boxes that sounded ok and that was it! I think it is based at the theater that is a couple of miles from me so I will have to check out buses but it will be nice to get out of the house - as long as I don't have to stand outside in this heat I should be fine!!!

My goodness, nothing posted here for almost 2 full days?! Shame, shame, fellow July filers! :P

Scott and I are back from Vegas. We had a really fun time and I'm so glad. It's nice to actually be able to go on vacation together and come back home to the same place. :)

Our biometrics appointment was reschedule for this Saturday (at 8am! ugh! Oh well, at least it's soon) and today we got an email saying we've been transferred to California. Yay! I'm pretty happy about that. :)

Congrats! I was soooo relieved when I got transferred to CSC. :D

What is so good about being transferred to CSC? :unsure: I vaguely remember when Julez was but that was soooo long ago now that I don't even know what it means anymore - we get to go through all of this in a couple of months!!

Is it sad of me to be kinda looking forward to AOS?!?! I feel a bit left out - Jeremy and I are "married" for all intents and purposes but the whole AOS thing feels like a bit of a dream...

And I've been here four weeks today!! I can't believe it!!

Oh - as an aside, I had an e-mail from Debz the other day to say they have a two year old kitty called Oscar :D She seems to be doing ok but I haven't had an e-mail since, so I am guessing she is still net-less... I am very jealous of her $100 a month rent though :o It's a friend of the family so it is great for them as I don't think Nick earns a lot but wow... I am sooo jealous of that! We pay $725 a month and our place is tiny!!!

Oh, does it mean you get it quicker too? I just thought it was no interview. Quicker would also be fine with us. :D

And yeah, our 1BR is $1734.00 per month. Everyone can feel better. :P

yea, I am pretty sure that nobody can trump Brooklyn for its rent...except, well Manhattan. At the real estate office where I worked for the past year, our typical 1BR on the upper east side cost around $3500. Some were more, some were less, but that is about average.

Good thing I got outta there, we are paying a whopping $565. Too bad there ain't much nightlife (life) around here. :unsure:

The volunteer work varies from transportation (which I obviously can't do) to data entry and admin to selling merchandise so it is a mixed bag - I just checked all the boxes that sounded ok and that was it! I think it is based at the theater that is a couple of miles from me so I will have to check out buses but it will be nice to get out of the house - as long as I don't have to stand outside in this heat I should be fine!!!

Cool :D So when do you start volunteering? This week?

Haha :D You will be able to do your AOS pretty soon so you won´t be left out anymore :thumbs: (considering the funds will allow it) I should feel left out :crying: NOT :D

Hey, Debz already has the net...they were getting it on Thursday...which Thursday? ...well looooong time ago ...oh THAT Thursday :D Yes, other than that, I don´t know what´s going on there :)

or mine :lol: Yes, usually people that are transferred get the GC faster. It´s not always faster though. But in general I think it is so you should be happy :D

PS: don´t compare the timeline to mine...my "adjudicator" took 2008 off :lol: Hope he won´t forget to come back to work in 2009 :unsure:

That can be a good excuse for starting lotsa experimenting at night :lol:

Congratulations Wendy :D(F) Finally :dance::dance::dance: You must be so relieved now :D So what are the plans now? :D

Julez :D Welcome home :D Now we are all ears for aaaall the cool stories you have for us :D

Everyone (someone? :unsure: ) please tell me: when you post something in this thread and then click on recent posts (top right corner), do you see the thread in the list of the recent posts like it used to appear there or not? Cuz I can´t see that one there anymore and I don´t know why :unsure:
