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

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

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.

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

I’ve just done a BACS transfer of a substantial five-figure sum to our currency broker. It was sore. Still, it’s done now and it’s still ours – it just isn’t in pounds any more. Other than that – not much happening. It’s all likely to kick off next week, so we’re enjoying a relatively sane

Yup – apparently so. There’s been no movement whatsoever, of course, but then we expected that. We’re very much in limbo at the moment. I’m having various conversations at work about handovers and we’re looking around for flights and planning a leaving party, but there’s nothing we can actually commit to at present. It’s looking

Or at least I have it on good authority that we do. Debbie has been in a mad surfing frenzy this morning, but as I’m at work I haven’t had the opportunity to witness its bandwidthy goodness first hand. So, importantly, this means I can continue Trollbert’s long march to level 40, get my podcasts
