Summer Holidays medicals and all the rest.


Upon our return to London my first job was to wade through 698 emails. All junk. Bar one from our c/o. She was requesting medicals and proof of my sole PR of older boys. Have sent of to HMCS for a search into pr with a bit of luck it will be back next week.

Ds1 and hubby went to wembely to watch England. I shall not comment futher as I am insanely jealous I could not go.

We had our visa meds on the 27th. I was mortified as had to strip and was wearing granny pants. Also quizzed on sexual history. Please read following conversation.
DR: "Have you ever had High risk sexual intercourse"
ME: "what? Like in a public place"
DR: "no with a homosexual or intrevenious drug user" whilst peering over glasses with a look of disgust.

Ah well I think it went ok other than that. Now we just wait. Hahahaha waiting is not one of my strong points. I am not a patient person.

Kids also went London zoo with there uncle. Again i am not jealous. That is all I have to say about that!

Are you going to Scarborough Fair

So we went ooop North for a week. The aim of the visit to relax and see the rellies. Two phrases that do not gel well. How was Scarborough people ask? WET. It rained all bar one day. I had packed myself floaty summery things of course. Still we got to see my grans. Gran 1 had just had an op and was not doing so well. Gran 2 is still as mad as a hatter. The boys got to go to the seafront on the one nice day we had. They found a tardis and that made the holiday for them.

They spent time pottering about on Auntie amys farm. Rode horses fed cows and genrally tried country life. Me I realised I cannot live in somewhere so quiet. I need civilisation. I need an internet connection!!! Still a good time was had by all. I didnt turn into a teenager and argue with my brother and sister although it has to be said there where times it was a close run thing.

Fingers crossed its gone to the immi gods

So I have sent it. It has gone. Our fate now lies in the hands of the immi gods at Aus house. Yesterday was a mad one. Had a dash to the local solicitors office to get a certified copy of Hubbys passport and visa. My god that women scares me.

Came back and rang Aus house. Spoke to a nice man called Bjorn. He told me if I have sole PR I dont need exes permission to take the kids. Just to write a letter stating I have sole PR. So I stuck it all in the post and got it sent. It was delivered today. Excited you better belive it. Nervous well my stomach resembles a washing machine on spin cycle. I am impatient this is going to be living hell!

Stress and progress and a few grey hairs


So I posted Gals Resident return visa off to get his passport re evidenced. Whoop that means progress on the visa for me front. Should take about two weeks.

Spoke to a lady at Australia house and got some bad news. I need to go along with the consent form my ex signed a certified copy of his passport or drivers liscence. So I had to call him and hear his latest sob story. I need it within the next two weeks so my application can get started without a hitch. He however is as not a reliable fella. I gave his sister a ring too in the hope she coud chivvy him along. So keep your fingers crossed for me. I need this in asap so we can start to book flights and the like.

I am worrying about the cost atm so feel like I have aged years over the past months.

Gal and Charlie have the new liverpool shirts though I am such a soft touch
