Just in need of some TLC...

[Guest wendy&co]

Am feeling a bit low today and finding it very hard to cope with the waiting. Isn't it awful!! I know we're at the last hurdle, just waiting for the case officer to OK the medicals, but I feel a bit in the dark and pretty helpless. Am literally twiddling my thumbs, checking the emails every 10 mins!! :sad:

 

Our agent has now gone on her xmas hols and I'm panicking that we've not heard any acknowledgement about whether the medicals have even been received.

 

I need something to DO to take my mind off things. I stopped working a month ago and can't wait to get stuck into my new job in Perth!

 

I love reading everyone's posts and think it's a great support network on here. I hope it's OK to let off a bit of steam myself!! :unsure:

 

Thanks.

Hi Wendy,

 

Yep, we're just waiting too, it is awful just not knowing but at least we've got Christmas to look forward to!!

We're just waiting on a final decision, meds are done, capital investment done (just in the nick of time!), our CO seems to be on a go slow cos we should have had a decision by now:arghh:

 

Oh well......chin up Wendy, this time next year we'll probably be in Oz,

Thanks for your messages. It really helps knowing that there are others in the same position who know exactly what it feels like.

 

Have a great Christmas everyone.

Hi Wendy

know how you feel , we are still checking e-mail first thing in morning before we do anything else. Applied mid April for 136 modl front loaded meds & pc in july still nothing.

House on market since April still not sold.

Have many a bad day always log on and get my fix of positive attitude from the great people on this site.

Chin up, not long now [hopefully] . Maybe one day we will be able to support and reassure

new members to this site, that we went through the very long process and are living the life we want in oz.

Going to Perth also never been before can;t be no worse than here.

I remember the waiting being awful and thought our turn would never come - it felt like I'd been waiting forever when in hindsight the whole thing took 7 months and in that time my son waited 6 months for an operation - I think I lost all perspective.

 

As Cal said, throw yourself into xmas, make lots of happy memories as it may be your last in the UK and try to relax

Wendy I know exactly what you mean we are sat waiting for the final decision meds finalised 5th december SO WHERES MY VISA :arghh:

 

Trying to keep busy been delivering pressies today to family in Hull parties and kids sports will keep me occupied for the rest.

 

I was really hoping to hear this week I some how think it will be the new year now.

 

We can let of steam together.

 

:arghh:

Oh Wendy,

Sending you a big hug, this waiting game takes over your life, checking your emails every morning, worrying because you've not heard anything. Its like you're in limbo. I only waited 6months and with hindsight thats not very long at all, but I wouldn't want to do it again!!! Try to distract yourself with christmas and enjoy the company of your friends and family. I promise you that once you get your golden ticket the time will fly there won't be enough hours in the day you'll have so much to organise!!! Chin up darlin.

Well I think you sound quite calm and together:goofy:

 

I know what you mean, the waiting is like a torture, I was a complete wreck last week because it felt so close and I knew the holidays were coming up - thank goodness we got them last Friday

 

I got into The Sims and Theme Hospital, I love Theme hospital I have nearly completed in on 'Hard' I usually play it on 'medium' I am so sad:yes:

 

you need to find a distraction, do you need to have a sort out or clear things out ready for the move? we did this at the begining of November it really helped because we felt a real sense of achievment when we had finished.

 

Last week we had a trip to London to see some sites and do a bit of shopping, that was great too.

 

It will come to an end, trust me, I know:yes:

thinking of you hun

Hi Wendy

 

Know exactly how your feeling, going through the same process at mo. I'm begining to dislike going on the computer its doing my head in. We had our meds finalised on 14 dec. Our case officer sent us an email on that day saying she was going to chase them up, and on the same day we had an email from LCU to say they had been finalised, and thats it!! no more from the c/o, why can't they just put us out of our misery's and give us that golden email before xmas. What a present that would be!!!!!! We can live in hope.

 

Good Luck

... and I thought I was the only one who was finding the waiting difficult!!:biglaugh:

 

Still, you have all cheered me up and I am now throwing myself into xmas - what could be better than a spot of retail therapy!! And, yes, I shall look forward to a great start to 2008.

 

I think hubby is getting worse than me - he was convinced we would get a phone call last night (?!) and stayed up to watch the Oz cricket - wouldn't like to be him going to work this morning!! :SLEEP:

 

Anyway, GOOD LUCK to us all and can't wait to see those new posts about visas being granted!
