I gave away my puddy cats today :crying: I am hoping they have gone to a good home, at least they went together.. Thought I would change my avatar to my Brucey boy, on the loo... hehehe (such a classic fella)

One of the more harder things the non-usc has to do I reckon.. I got a quote to take them to the US with me and their air tickets were going to cost more than ours, plus whatever the vet checks would of been, just couldn't stretch that far....

Meanwhile, ebay has been going crazy on my stuff, now that I have started listing up the 'big' things.. The house is going to start looking real empty soon, it already started to get echoey in the lounge room with all my books gone. :whistle:

Only 3 weeks and 2 days til Mike and I are together again, after 10 months apart. :dance:

Don't worry Kaffykat, cats are more fickle than we like to believe. I have worked in RSPCA's and have seen enough of how soon they forget us. I'm sure they will be happy in their new home. I know I will feel a sense of loss leaving my Fluffy here with Mum and Aunty Mary. I am lucky to live there too with two other cats as well, so he will be fine. While I was in the US for 3 months last year, though, she said he just walked up to my room every day & let out a huge roar, like where is she?, and then walked out again. So maybe not so fickle. He wouldn't talk to me on the phone either when I was over there. Ah.....we'll get over it. Don't think I could bare putting him on a plane and all that stuff anyhow even if I could afford it. Andrew says I should get a new kitten when I arrive but well but I don't know, they wouldn't be Fluffy.

Poor Puddy and Kaffykat, I will go through something similar too when my day comes.

Oh yeah forgot my question. I know I have asked before and Kath said wait. I'm wondering if it is still too soon to get a police certificate from Sweden now we have our NOA2 and should probably hear from the embassy here soon'ish. Are you supposed to have something in that packet 3 to give the cops or something? I lived there for about 8 months in 1991.

I was wondering too, if anyone knows what happened to our Niphredil?

Thanks all,

Stella.

Get packin', mama! yeehaw!

I have requested that Dan order up fine sunny weather for my arrival, especially when landing. Damm the thought of hurricanes freaks me out lol

Oh I made a boo boo when I posted....my interview date is the 5th not the 8th. I had something in my eye when I wrote it. Made an appointment for my medical for the 16th so everything is right on track. Should get my police certificate back any day now. All that is left is the packing and this gal has no idea where to start hahaha

Thanks for all the congrats guys.

Yeah guess I can wait a bit longer, I know your right. Just biting at the bit to get this ball rolling and also a little concerned I guess they may have trouble finding me in their Swedish system. False worries I guess cause I think they got the most efficient public and social service's in the world.

How's your shoulder Kath? There is something really nice having your man arranging all the wedding hoopla though isn't it. I ain't never been married before, so never will get to do any of that stuff as he is planning on us doing it all a soon as we can and seems to be really enjoying doing it all, even sending me pictures of dress's he likes. I do want to have him not see me the day before the wedding which will be difficult since we will be getting married in the back yard and I really have no where to go there to spruce myself up before.

Hey Lorelle, just love the new avatar :jest: You find the best little pictures and things. And Good Weather, Good Weather, Good Weather. There that should help too.

Just so much good news lately!! I'm glad everyone is doing well.

Things here couldn't be better. My family LOVES LOVES LOVES stewart. It's so bad that my mom has just started calling HIM instead of me... He called me today and said, "Call home, your mum is worried..." because she had called HIM!!

<sigh>

our new condo is AMAZING. We just love being able to come home to eachother...and wake up next to eachother every morning. I know ya'll understand that.

And He got the EXACT job he wanted. He starts on May 8th...AND he's all registered for classes and ready to start those too...

soooo busy but all good things.

Kaffy - I'm so sorry about your cats :( THat's so hard to let go of pets but Mike is worth it I'm sure :) :)

Lorelle - where EXACTLY in FL are you going to be agian? i need to whip out the map!!!

Matt - How's the job going?? You like it pretty well?

Kath - How are the wedding plans going? Are you involved at all or he Robbie doing the whole thing?

Also where has Mellie and Sean been? I feel abandoned!

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

hi karo,

i started a new job today with the local metro parks...the pay sucks but it's fulltime for 3 months. so it's ok until i get a "proper" job.

i had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with someone about a job that i'm the best suited for but he is only the point man for the company. he is going to organise a meeting for me with the bosses when they come in from detroit, so i'll see how that goes. don't want to let the cat out of the bag at the moment but when i find out i'll let you all know what happened and what it's about.

matt

Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone's got one and they all stink!
