Application

Right police certificates are back so have completed and double checked the formal visa application !!
All set and ready to post tomorrow!!! Now just have to sit back and wait :)

Police Certificates

Right a small step closer, have sent off the application to the police today :)
Only problem is it could take up to 20 days to get back!? just hope it is here before we go away!!!

My dear dad

Sadly my dad passed away at the weekend, just a few days before his 64th birthday.
I have never had so many different emotions all at once!!
So much to do.

I have to say I am so glad that I am here to go through this with my family close by and have involvement in the arrangements, not only that but extremely glad that I had a week with my dad before he passed.

You've just walked on ahead of me
And I've got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I'm missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you've just walked on ahead of me
Don't worry I'll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine

Stage 2

OMG! Stage 2 sent off by CQR (Employee Nomination)!!!!
Wont be long before I have to send off my bits! ARRGGGHH

Application acknowledged! :)

A Hard decision

Sadly we have decided to re-home Kandy :(

This was not an easy decision as she is very much part of the family and I'm sure she'd love running on the beaches in Oz!

We feel that the move will unsettle her too much and it will make it really difficult for us to secure a rental with 2 dogs, plus the actual expense in getting 2 dogs down to Oz!

Have put the word out and already have a couple of families potentially interested.

Hope to have a trial run soon which will mean she is well settled and happy before we move.
