My visa was approved TOO :dance: . I saw you there Deb, well I think it was you. Were you there with another woman and a baby? and if that wasn't you did you see the 2 women and a baby :P ?

Took an 1hr and a half to get through the process. Was almost late because mum and I were playing around with the cameras at breakie central at channel 7 sunrise, then I left my bag with all my forms in it on a bench and had to run back for it :bonk:

When I finally made it to security just before 10am I was flustered and it was stuffy and hot waiting in line, dropping everything everywhere.

The actually process itself was not bad it was the people waiting and the stuffy room that made it a bit of a headache. All done now :D just waiting to fly away now :) ... I also found it amusing how many people took their x-rays with them :bonk:

Vanessa, I am glad you are out of that house, I bet you are too. BIG HUGS :star:

Hey Candice - sorry, only just coming up for air. Hubby flew back to Florida today ... :crying: Were you the blonde lady in black? I wasn't one of the two women with the baby but I saw them. I was with my daughter - she was in all black and I forget what I was wearing but I have long hair :lol:

Congrats on your visa ... I had a chat to Sassy while I was there. She finished before me and I teared up when she told she was approved because I was so nervous by then!!!

Today my best mate - house mate and brother from another mother of ~7years left to move back home to Perth.

With him he took the two cats that his ex gf and himself got about 1.5yrs ago...

I managed to hold back the waterworks watching them load the cats into the plane, but I'm a f$#king mess now that I've come home and there is complete change. No cats to annoy you or "not" give you attention... no best mate to speak sh!t with and be random... Its just a half empty apartment.

When my mum left to go to America, she left me here in Aus by myself and I think I did pretty good for that situation to get by etc etc... (I don't even remember being emotional about it - which is probably a bad thing :wacko: )... but this is just out of the ball park...

Can someone call the NVC and tell them to hurry up with my CC... I gotta get out of here fast... :bonk:

Yo Bex - hang in there. How is that bulletin looking?

Hi Deb,

No I wasn't the blonde lady. I have brown hair and I had on jeans and a suit jacket. When I first got there I sat in the middle, 1 row back, 3 seats across from the door. I have no recollection of seeing a women with a daughter.

I am pretty sure I saw Sassy though. She had a pile of evidence and even her X-ray?

How old is your daugher? Because there were some kids there I would leave behind if I was their parents. A family of 5 and a mother and her 2 little girls. The only reason I noticed them was because they were being so loud and naughty.

If your daughter is young, she was very well behaved because I didn't notice her :hehe:

Ok remind me where you are in Florida again? because I will be on the west coast, Sarasota to be exact about an 1hr south of Tampa. I know we have talked about this b4 but I have a terrible memory :bonk:

I do know the lady with the kids you are talking about. My daughter is 10 and nearly as tall as me, we ended up sitting at the window and enjoying the view. Started by sitting in the middle section and ended up moving.

We'll be in St Pete, for now. He gets a new posting in August and we have no idea where we'll be. We also decided to not wait until then so I'm flying out on July 14. Handed in my resignation yesterday (so not fun). My first 2 weeks will be spent without him because he'll be in SC training still.

I'm still waiting for the medical report. I am hoping the cardiologist report has been sent to the panel physician (Dr Charles) yesterday/today, and once he gets it, he will be nice and quick in turning it around and getting the report to me. I go to my own doctor to get the results on Tuesday. Everything else is all ready to go, sitting and waiting forlornly for the medical report :whistle:
