  1. Is it too late to add me to the list?
  2. Congratulations Vicky. And guess what/ My visa was granted at 4pm this afternoon (WA time). Vac request was just yesterday. Wow
  3. I prepared form 80 in advance which took me forever. Was I glad I had as it was requested and with only 28 days to return it along with medical, police report and assurance of support confirmation, I was very grateful that I had prepared it in advance.
  4. I have no need to leave while waiting for my visa to be granted. I am here on a bridging visa, but if I wished to travel I believe I could apply for a bridging visa B. I'm not sure, but I think this will only allow 3 months out of the country. Hope this helps.
  5. Compare the $7.90 loaf with Gail's potato and rosemary sourdough at £5.99 (would work out at about $13) in London http://gailsbread.co.uk/our-food/bread/
  6. Thanks Alan. I thought they took much the same time as the 143. Aside from the unexpected shock/panic. It's great news.
  7. Contributory aged visa 864. It was only submitted at the beginning of March this year. Such a surprise today when the e-mail came asking for the various forms as above and the form 80 (also prepared ready to submit). I was expecting to wait at least another year.
  8. Just received the e-mail requesting medicals, police report and assurance of support. Guess it's all happening at last. medical booked for Friday, police request made and daughter is on to assurance of support. But apparently they are taking more than 28 days currently to process the assurance of support so will not meet my 28 days for returning all the documents for my visa. I guess I'll need to request an extension. Has anyone else had a problem with this? Is it easy enough to get an extension, especially as it will be another government department causing the delay?
  9. I, too, would have to say that my life has greatly improved here in Oz. Back in the UK the weather was frequently far too wet windy and cold to go out in the fresh air for long and, at least where I was living, there were few clubs and groups for the elderly to attend. Here in Perth, I attend classes at a school for over 50's, Keep Fit and Yoga at yet another centre for the over 50's that also provides meals and organizes trips, and I get to swim in the pool every day over most of the year. When you include the free transport to shops, parks and other venues of interest then it's hard to argue that life is not fuller, and healthier, here in Oz.
  10. Apologies to everyone for not making the meet. I put my back out (just getting up off the chair!!!!!). I'm sorry to have missed everyone and hope to meet up next time. I hope you all had a great time
  11. Ooh. Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that and soon.
  12. Glad you are loving Perth MtT. I can't wait to get there myself. Soon soon.
  13. I want to swim with the dolphins. And there is a little park just off Adelaide terrace with ducks. It's so peaceful and quiet there. And I haven't been inland far yet although I did see an Emu on the way to the Pinnacles. Would love to do that again. And feed the ring necked parrots at Mundaring Weir, eat fish and chips at the Lucky Shag, visit the old jail in Fremantle, see the Mint (just up the road from me), see the black swans and the black cockatoos. Take a trip back to Bunbury via Mandurah and.....and.... and there is just so much. Oh and Rottnest and Heirisson and penguin islands. So much to see and do
