UK VJers Progress Update Thread

[vicks5721 18]

my visa changed to issued after only two days and it hasn't been sent to courier yet I don't think and now I have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to hear from the courier, I can't wait to be able to have it in hand!! We already booked my flight, I am flying out the day before my birthday, on March 24th! lol he picked it well.

I will definitely miss British Chocolate, but I agree it is probably would be better to not be able to have it much, as I love chocolate and I reckon having it less will be better for me health wise.

But I know things like yorkshire puddings for Roast dinner and Christmas treats like Christmas Pudding will be tough to not have, I think I will teach myself how to make them and sometimes we will visit England for the holidays.

Rob, don't forget the excellent bbq in Houston. Nich-Nick and I are both in Houston and we wouldn't steer you wrong.

One of my co-workers was brought here from our office in London years ago and he knows the owners of British Isles. He says they are lovely people.

Ah true, I have been hearing of Pappas Bros Steakhouse on Westheimer, got that one marked for this trip!

We pick up BBQ about once a week. My husband puts Colman's mustard on it. He calls it his yellow BBQ sauce.

Good choice! My fav bbq place in town is Goode Co. on Kirby.

I hope you're getting your bbq from Corkscrew!!

The lines got so long we kinda backed off Corkscrew. Rudy's is our main place because we go in the evening. Have tried PitMaster, Dickey's, and Spring Creek BBQ. I've been to Goode Co. several times before. Rob can try that when he goes to British Isles. Goode Co. is the reason my son-in-law is in Texas. He is from Wisconsin and was working there. Some guys he met in training invited him to visit in Houston and took him to Goode Co. his first day. After eating, he said "how do I get a transfer to the Houston office"? (Lack of snow also influenced him.)

I look forward to going to Buffalo Wild Wings, a chicken wings place with 30 different kinds of sauces can put on them.

It's a favourite restaurant in my Fiance's family, so I can imagine we will go often.

Yeah it took just two days for mine to change, probably yours will today or tomorrow.

I just got an email from the Embassy saying they have sent it the courier and it will get there within two days, they gave me a tracking number to check on DX website.

I did straight away and it says will be ready for pick up 10/3/15 which is tomorrow, yay!!
