LAND DOWNUNDER

Congrats on your arrival Chris, you must be so relived...!

How horrible Caroline - so glad he's safe!

Well our wedding is now officially booked! Yay! We booked the big room also. Thanks for the tip on the music, we will take our own (once we've decided on our song lol..) I have a few personal readings I will get either the bridesmaids/witnesses to do or my sisters. We have yet to write our own addition to the vows. (We're going with long service too). I have a friend who is dying to take the pictures she wants to make a video of it which if judging by her other one will be very good.

I'm still not sure of the guest list as I need to get in touch with some formerly out-of-touch relos lol..

Your photos were lovely. Am looking forward to seeing the rest.

I've just picked out my dress and shoes - very cute and relaxed summer dress style but also elegant. We haven't decided on somewhere to stay but that is a very good idea, hadn't thought of that!

Question: I'm just about to go for my police check which one do I get; the one on time of birth and name or time birth name and fingerprint check?

for your police check you need to get a National Police Certificate. When you go into the police station tell them that you need a finger print police check done for a visa . hope this helps

Thanks guys it was a total shock to both of us but Stew's doing ok. He rang his parents yesterday afternoon and I think that helped him.

thanks for your thoughts and prayers

Keep an I on him... especially for PTSD (post traumatic stress syndrome). I dealt with a lot of guys at my medical clinic in Kuwait after they returned from Iraq... a lot of them had buddies get shot, or blown up right next to them. So just watch over him for the next couple months. After what happened, no one can really tell how it can affect anyone, it's different from one person to the next. Just stay positive and always reflect on how precious life is and how every minute of the day counts. I'm sure you do that already...

take care!

Well said David...Life is short...

Thanks Angela. When I rang them for the information and told them it was for an immigrant visa they said the shorter police check is fine, but now you're saying I need the longer one (the one with the fingerprint check), so I'd better be safe and get that one.

Can anyone tell me how long police certificates are good for once they've been issued. My wife got hers done ahead of time at the end of October assuming that it would take up to two months to get back. Apparently it only took about two weeks including finger prints. We're just hoping she doesn't have to do it again because it did cost a lot.

I am almost certain that your police certificate is good for 6 months from when you get it done but give the Adelaide Police station a call and they maybe able to tell you for sure. I had a few problems getting my certificate....... would you believe it they lost my first lot of fingerprints....but having said that they were very helpful with any questions I had.

Goodluck, Susan

Hi All!

Hope y'all had a good Turkey Day!

Just a q...did you guys have to get a money order for the Police Certificate? I went in today and the guys like do you have a money order or cheque? I'm like no...I have cash.He's like the boss prefers us not to take cash. So ugh gotta make a trip to post office and then back to Police Station.

Who do I make the money order to?

hi elle

dont forget you to tell them you need a national fingerprinting police check

i would imagine it would be whichever state your in and police..eg.

Victorian Police Department...if your not sure see if you can google it and then look for criminal record checks...it might give you info on it ...

I'm sure i paid by cash....

had a lovely turkey day...took pics filmed robbie carving the turkey...then later on in the day/night we went chrisie shopping ...

take care

In Western Australia you have to use the Australian Federal Police and make the money order out to them.

WA Police refuse to do fingerprint checking so I had to wait 5 weeks for an appointment with AFP!!

I can't wait to be in the US next Thanksgiving and do the big roast dinner for my hubby - I just need to learn how to cook!!!
