Oops!

Had a phonecall from the panel doctor who conducted our medicals. When they said “they’ve been sent off today” they didn’t mean the medicals had been sent to Sydney. They meant the HIV tests had been sent off. Anyhoo, I received a call yesterday saying that everything had come back from the labs clear and

Cor Blimey!

Once again, nelefa.org suffers from net withdrawal symptoms. I really haven’t been doing much in the way of gaming because of the amount of annoying real life stuff that’s being organised. We’ve moved house, now, so things are a little more settled and a lot less stressful, so that’s always good. New Super Mario Bros

Police reports are in.

The police clearances from Scotland Yard arrived this morning and I’ve couriered them along to our agent. The whole bundle is being pulled together today and sent by courier to Adelaide. So that’s absolutely everything we need to do. Our sponsor still has a few non-DIMA related loose ends to tie up at the far

Second-last submission to our agents

Adelaide pulled a blinder on us a few weeks ago. When they asked for medicals and police checks to be done, they also said that – as there had been some stationary changes – we should resubmit the WHOLE application on the new stationary. I’m glad I didn’t do the application myself or I’d have

Back to waiting

Well, medicals have been sent off, sponsorship and assurance of support are in hand, but there’s nothing more we can do until the police reports arrive, so we’re sitting on our hands once again. The medicals will likely have arrived in Sydney by now, so at least that’s one thing out of the way. Once

It’s done.

Well, we’ve moved – we’ve finally offloaded the dirty great millstone that’s been around our necks for ten years. Crown Removals were extremely professional and I can’t recommend them enough. The guys came in and got straight down to it – packing and wrapped four hundred cubic feet of posessions and lugging them into the

Oh No!

Well, we’ve moved (more or less). We have some tidying up still to do at the old place, but we’re pretty much ensconsed in the new place. But there’s no net connection! Oh no! I’m currently posting this via the GPRS connection on my mobile and I’m charged by the byte so I’ll have to

The Last Night in the Evil House Of Doom

Well, Crown Removals are coming to uplift and store all the stuff we’re shipping over tomorrow. We’re still frantically packing, having to get stuff ready for shipping, deciding what we’re taking to the other house, and working out what to do with all the rest. We had our chest x-rays done today, so at some

The Last Night

Those of you who have a certified nelefa habit will be aware of the chequered history we have with this house. Well, I’m delighted to announce that this is the last night we’ll be spending in it. On Friday, the accursed thing passes into the hands of some other poor sod, and good luck to
