thewebweazel Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for the advice, i was expecting at least 6! best get ebaying...good job they have free listing this weekend. From getting my CO (July 2011 see my signature) it took just under 3 months, I even delayed it by a month by waiting to get my medicals done. So unless things have changed drastically or your application has complications I would start to arrange meds and PCC in the next couple of weeks!

thewebweazel Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Be painting the last 2 days (is this ever going to end?) I'm starting to get this anxious feeling that I'm not going to be ready in time for the Estate Agent on the 6th of Feb it is so bad this morning that when my Son woke me up at 4:30 for a drink and a tuck back into bed I couldn't go back to sleep, all I could think about was what I needed to finish. So I got up, managed to contain my excitement for breakfast of 4 slices of Pizza and a Browse of PIO. So what has today go install for me, Yip you guessed it more painting!

Love Shoes Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just put some more curtains in the washing machine, three more pairs to go, and one set to repair and then my curtain task will be done, cleaned the windows yesterday, a job I loathe, do them again next week just before I leave. May even be able to get some of the curtains dried out doors as the weather is lovely today, so fingers crossed, otherwise they are just strewn all over doors and anything else tall enough to take them. This afternoon we are meeting a friend in Banus to say our final good bye, probably will never see them again, the same applies for Banus too.

Guest tandcmum Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Had a bit of an unexpected weekend off work in the middle of my 10 day stretch due to being assaulted by a patient on Friday morning and sustaining a lovely head injury, not really felt up to doing much Oz prep wise, but have taken the time on the sofa to do research into houses, schools, things to do, flights, and done online shops at woolies, looked where all the fruit and veg markets are etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositivePixie Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks for the kind words peeps - it is probably the worst thing ever ever ever in my life, have done a sobbing blog entry on it and made husband cry - whoops! tandcmum - hugs to you, just think, soon it won't be part of everyday life anymore (I know I know, its the same everywhere, but one can dream, eh?) Today the overlocker went, my bras seem to be doing well on ebay, and need to list yet more things on there (I dread the ebay seller fees this month! ) Unfortunately didn't do a car boot as it was fully booked Never mind, there's still one week left for car booting (before the 4x4 goes....) We are sitting in an ever increasingly empty house - tis good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
