University offer of a place

[KazzE]

My DD got offered a conditional place at Melbourne today, we just need to show that she has enough points by scanning and sending

her last lot of certs for her A2's, they came last week, don't know why they take so long to send them out

 

this is an international place as we still do not have our visas:arghh: the fee's are scary $19900 + a year which = around £8000 so not far off what it would cost here. However we think she may get a commonwealth place (if, bl**dy if we ever get our visas) which will bring the fee's right down.

 

Still not 100% certain that she will actually take up the place and we will have to pay a deposit soon :err: can't even think about this until we have the visas (if we ever get them, frustrated, fed up, cheesed off, I am so over this Australia lark, think I will look at going somewhere else, hmmmmmmmmmmmm where else do I want to go....................... NO WHERE - I WANT MY VISA NOW!)

 

We are all going to London for the day tomorrow, doing a Duck tour, must be mad, it is going to be freezing tomorrow

 

we are also going to do a bit of shopping see the lights etc

 

feeling a bit flat at the moment so I need some good retail therapy to cheer me up

 

Any suggestions for good places to eat around Hyde Park? we are parking near there so it would be good to eat and not have far to go back to the car.

I wish there was something I could say to make things better, it seems like you've been waiting an eternity for your visas and your posts have always been so supportive of other people. Surely it can't be much longer now. Just wanted to say chin up and I hope santa brings your visas really soon. Enjoy your day with the Ducks and the christmas lights and buy yourself something nice. Big hugs

awwwwwwww thanks monty

 

I am sure we will get them soon, I just can't help it sometimes, the frustration bursts out :twitcy:

our agent seems very positive that we will get them before xmas, knowing my luck we will be the last to be granted visas before the holidays! I don't care as long as we get em!

 

the Duck tour was fab, a tour of London including going up the Thames in a bright yellow amphibious bus! shouting Quack quack at all the shoppers - great fun

 

nice stop in Tiffany's sorted out DD 18th, she had vouchers to spend

 

I am a great believer in things happening for a reason, so we will just wait and see.....................................

 

the good news is we have viewers coming to look at the house tomorrow :yes:
