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

Well, today has been….. interesting. But enough of that. Sponsorship and Assurance of Support has now been lodged with Centerlink in Australia, so it’s just a matter of attending Xrays, waiting for police clearances, and that’s it. So, we’re pretty much focussing on moving house at the moment. We’re forming two piles – stuff to

Well, our assurers have really pulled out all the stops and their end of things is now sorted out. All that’s really remaining is tomorrow’s X-rays and waiting for the police clearances to arrive from Scotland Yard. We actually have clearances already but they’re dated February which is probably a bit old – I guess

I’ve been very quiet on this blog lately, haven’t I? It’s just I’m run off my feet, panicking and running around like a running about thing doing other stuff. We’re moving house on Friday, with a week’s notice, so we have 65843268345 things to organise and, well, no time in which to do it. There’s

It’s actually gone surprisingly well, really. We’ve got all the really hard stuff (like making sure we have somewhere to live I can commute from) sorted out. Next week is going to be a lot busier, naturally, but nothing we can’t deal with (assuming I can get a few days of work).

Obviously with an all clear, cos we’re all healthy. We still have to get the x-rays done and handed in, so the whole shooting match will be sent to Sydney for processing on Thursday or Friday next week. We were a bit worried about the medical – you know how these things are. As it

Right. Well, we’ve organised a nice little place to stay in for the few weeks remaining, and have an option of three months should it be needed. It’ll serve nicely as a base for whatever excursions we plan. Fortunately, the international shippers have managed to squeeze us in on Thursday, despite the horribly short notice

Well, last night involved working out exactly what needed to be done. Todays tasks are to get Crown Relocations organised for next week to take the stuff we’re moving to Oz into storage. We need to sort out what we’re taking to a rented place. Realistically it’s only going to be what we can take

Our case officer has just approved us on our preliminary assessment and has requested we submit medical and police reports. Our medicals are taking place on Saturday, with the radiology appointments set up for the following wednesday. Once the doctor has received the radiology slides, the whole shooting match is packed off to Adelaide. Except
