Thanks to everyone :)

As I sit here in the hotel warming up from my test walk to the consulate (less than 15 mins from the sheraton in a straight line so can't get lost!) it means a lot. Hopefully everyones wishes will boost my karma.

There are a few little irregularities in our journey, so we hired a lawyer to ease our minds and give us good advice, and on Friday he gave us heart failure when it became clear that since we retained him lo those many months ago, he failed to reread our file and on d day we are scrambling around trying to tie up our loose ends and write addendums.

I am currently a stressed out wreck. I can think straight, sleep or stop worrying about the outcome. Well at least it will be over tommorow, one way or the other.

Will keep you posted. Fingers crossed.

Linda
