Thank you so much. I'm leaving for London tomorrow morning and starting to feel anxious now. I have no idea why. I think this process over such a long time has these silly triggers where, when something is about to happen, it's as if there is this dutiful obligation to feel anxious.

I've just sent a snippy email to the photo booth company at our local grocery store because I thought I'd better get some new visa photos done (ours were done 8 months ago and if there is an issue or they want to be difficult about it, I can redo mine there but needed daughter's in case) and the background is mis-aligned so when it printed there is a big dark seam where it joins to the back of the booth. That's a silly little thing, That made me feel agitated and stressed.

I had my work farewell last night. They took me out for a lovely dinner and drinks and gave me some beautiful gifts and some things for William and I as well. I was very touched and it was a bit emotional as we are a small firm with only 8 people so you kind of get close after almost a decade of working together.

I will only have my phone with me when I go down for the interview so I warn you in advance to excuse any typos and auto correct craziness that is likely to show up in my posts :)

Thanks for the support to this stage. Nich-Nick, you have been such a superstar and given so much balanced and helpful information. We are so grateful (F)

Good luck Lee! Will be thinking about you & waiting for the "I'm approved" post! ? We've all been waiting so very long for this day to arrive & even though deep down we know everything will be fine- I think we have battle scars at this point and the anxiety kicks in. I've been looking forward to all of us getting to this point so I'm beyond excited for you & Will!! ?

Thank you, Renee :) Finally, we are all moving into the next stage. I'll check in with you all when I've arrived in London. I'm quite looking forward to the train journey.

Thanks Chris :)

Had a few hours of anxiety this morning and suddenly feeling eerily calm. Nearly there.

In other news I've eaten so many M&Ms I feel quite sick, lol

Lol I was so excited I couldn't even spell approved!

Thank you all. I'm having a drink right now. I'm sure the spelling will get wise as the night goes on, if only due to the high of happiness knowing the worst of this is behind us.

Who's next from our group? Deborah, is it Neil?

Ok- problem (I swear to God nothing is ever just easy with this process)....James & I just went through all the steps to register his appointment and pay the fee. Only the payment page never came up. We chose his courier location and the next page it took us to was the summary. What the heck. And I know I didn't skip over it because we were double checking everything before we clicked "continue".

Sign out, log back in and it will still be there. You don't have to pay when you set up the account. You can go back and do it ? Edited by wbeem
