New Theme!

It’s either the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning or the beginning of the begee, but I’m not sure which. Anyhoo – many changes are now underway, so I thought I nice sunny theme would work well for a wee while. So, I woke up this morning without having a job

Assurance of Support

It’s all done. Our sponsor was in at Centrelink today and cleared the whole lot up. From now on it’s just a matter of waiting for the bond request letter (which they hope to send out tomorrow) followed by bond lodgement and notification of DIMIA. DIMIA will then hum and haw over it for a

Dalkeith, Midlothian

It’s strange how things manage to change but nonetheless remain the same. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose, as Rush said – although they said it nicer, with accents in all the right places and I’m on a PC which isn’t kind to foreign languages. A fair percentage of my memories of the

Weekly “Nothing is happening” post

Gah, this is frustrating. We have a leaving party planned for Saturday. I leave my work a week on Friday. It would be nice if we actually had the visa granted by then! Really, it’s down to the last day or two now, but that day or two of processing is dependant on the Australian

Still Waiting

Monday is the start of my last fortnight at work. Well, technically it’s my last week, but they wanted me to stay for an extra week – which is fair enough. It’s difficult to believe that it’s all likely to kick off next week – assuming our sponsor gets the documentation through from the tax

DING!

Trollbert has finally reached level 40 and has spent the correspondingly stupid amount of gold on a Raptor to run about on 🙂 In other news, Trollbert also popped into Ragefire Chasm to say “Hi” to Taragaman the Hungerer. Taragaman wasn’t impressed, so Trolly had no choice but to set Ookbert on him. He’s such

eBay Feedback

eBay can be a tedious place, so I tend to try and brighten things up a bit by leaving cheery feedback. You can have a look at the kind of rubbish I speak here.

Silence

As ever, I’m not posting because I’ve nothing to say We’re still waiting for Centrelink to be happy with the Assurance of Support information. There’s some paperwork our Assurer needs to provide them with which requires processing by the Inland Revenue, so until that comes back, there’s nothing happening. On a cheerier note, though, DIMA
