Hola Everyone!

My fiance had his interview today and I'm ecstatic to report that we got approved! The woman conducting the interview was apparently rather scary [will enter a review later, after I've calmed down, hehe] but it all came up roses in the end. I think I can safely say I cannot remember ever feeling this amount of happy, I barely know what to do with it!

I just wanted to express a resounding, massive THANK YOU to everyone who has taken time to reply and help with questions. Without this site and the kindness of so many of you [particularly on this board] I don't know how we would have done it. Thank you all for your time and definately your patience when I've posted those famous 'Stress Questions", hehe.

Thank you all so much. As always, to everyone who is still waiting, I hope that soon these happy shoes will be all yours!

Now I'm gonna go have a celebratory chocolate moment and pass out!

Congratulations to you, Zilla and to you, Chelseafan on your approvals !

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
