This is the waiting for packet 4 thread.

[Fandango 1,439]

Thank YOu...I am so giddy!

He is in Yorkshire. Barnsley to be exact.

Nah I am going for three weeks. He is going to fly over for good in May. I know that seems like a long time...but we planned a wedding for June...and we want to get a couple more pay checks in. Plus he wants to take 3 weeks off and hike the Pennine Way.

We have our engagement party on the 10th of Feb. My Birthday on the 19th...interview on the 7th. Porcupine Tree concert on the 16th...Feb is going to be a good month!

WHOO!!

I'd totally be changing that plane ticket!

we are considering it.

Work is more of a concern..ya know!

Dave's from co Durham...not too far! Not exactly the closest, but still a Northern Boi

Take very little if you can...do some shopping whilst there!!! Esp with those new crappy limits on luggage

And yeah, I'd be wantin to change the tick too...are you flying into London or Manc?

Northern Boys are the best! I always ALWAYS take to much and do a lot of shopping! However last time I was there..just a few months ago. I left some things. So I am going to take one case..and one nearly empty case and just bring stuff back of his! I had over the amount of luggage last time and I didn't get charged. But I think that was my one freebie!

Yesterday was such a blah day, today is so much better! Chris and I are planning a trip to Whitby. Gonna do some hiking while we are there. Kinda strange to go to the coast in the winter I know. But it is our favorite place. I think it is where I really fell in love with him. PLUS....really really really good fish and chips!

Lisa..just looked at a mp to see where Durham is...not really all that far!

Grab a Chinese when you're in Whitby Oh man, I can't believe I just said that...my apols

As far as stuff is concerned, I still have about 7 35 kilo cases worth of stuff there I'm goin over there at some point with nowt in my cases, lol. And no doubt I'll go shopping too, cos I'm an addict, hahahaha But where you flying into? Did I miss that bit? When I fig;d I'd go is after the interview, so we can just focus on packing up and arranging transport of all the 'stuff'. So depending on how much chew there is to change your tick & what that would do to his sched, you might wanna just consider leaving the tick as is

Our house is actually a few miles south of the city of Sunderland in co Durham but he was born in Sund & is Mackem thru and thru. And our house is on the coast, so I know how pretty the sea is in winter...lol, one year I was convinced I would do a Boxing Day Dip, but clearly that was an insane thought.

I can totally understand that!!

But hey, even if you can't go with him, you'll know when you get on the plane whether or not he is approved (and of course he will be).

PJC~ Thank you!! I am so jazzed at this moment *might be the coffee*

LisaD~ to bad you won't be visiting in Feb. we'd make a trip to see you. We suppose we will do 4-5 days in Whitby just relaxing. Besides I need some new jet earrings!

I am flying into Manchester...always do.

Chris and I have been slowly transporting his stuff here the last year or so. He's been doing lots of ebay sells too. Honestly thank God for ebay. We have made fantastic money. He is a big time music collector of rare items. He was smart with a lot of things and bought two while the prices were low. So now these things are selling for loads. He is a drummer as well. ANYone who knows drummers will understand how much stuff will have to be moved and sold in total. However most of it is already here!

Jealous of the house on the coast!! Ever make it up to NC?

TRACY: you are totally right! What a vacation this will be!

Yeah that woulda been cool to have a meet up over there, but I'm not going for some time yet. We're on the starting path of this journey after one complication after another...but it's all good!

I love the north in Feb...it's always so cold and snowy and being as I live in FL, I don't get that here, so naturally the grass is greener there. I am so happy for you that you get to go over and experience it with such a weight off your shoulders!

Ebay is awesome...we've sold tons on it. We're actually getting ready to list an arcade cabinet that D actually built. Hopefully it will yield some good money! As far as music items...D has a vinyl collection spanning like 20 summat years with v rare things....We've contacted several stores both here and there, and we're slowly but surely getting rid. It's such an exhaustive process...you must be so happy it's coming to an end soon.

Funny you should mention me getting up to NC cos my friend just moved up there. She's living in Raleigh, I believe. D doesn't like her, but I'd love to twist his arm and get him to make a visit at some point after he arrives. Whereabouts are you? If we make it up there, we most certainly have to have a meet up....the boys will feel right at home with each other

[ajames79 0]

Well then we will plan for a meet up! Twist his arm!

Umm I am actually in the mountains....The beautiful mountains!

The ebay process is exhausting! Although I can't complain at all. It is all about Chris. I just get to reap the benefits!!

Tracy is in TN... not really close but not really far away. Perhaps we could plan a little meet of of the Brits...

I think it will be a needed thing for the boys! We can go shopping! Need anything from England?? Might bring back a few food items...

This goes for anyone..I am will to work it out if I can bring back some small items for anyone! No charge but item and postage!!

Hey a Brit get together when we all finally get over there sounds like a fab idea! Count me in! Ok so I will be WA and I keep forgetting just how vast America is as a country It made me laugh the other day when I was reading about the UK on a US website (I think it was the FBI site - don't ask - long story) and it had this "comparative size" thing when comparing the UK to the US. It described the UK as "slightly smaller than Oregon" Made me laugh anyway! And yeah yeah, everybody in the UK knows each other personally, heard it all before

[BlueRain77 0]

Congrats!!!!

I hope we are next! We posted the checklist on Dec. 4 (well pjc did)! Maybe this will be good cause then we may get an interview date it could be for slightly later and maybe after I arrive! I get there Feb. 11 and stay till the 24th.

I just got my ticket! woo hoo! DId you know that flying Air Canada is like $150 cheaper than BA AND I get travel insurance? We'll see though...I may found out I wish I had taken the BA Boeing planes instead of the AC Aerbus (LOL Im just biased as I am from the Seattle area and we are the kings [and queens] of Boeing lol)

Hey guys, what are the times of the interview? Are they always at 8am?
