Visa granted!

'Dear Mrs Galt

The processing of your application has reached the stage where I am in a postition to grant your visa...'

I finally received this email last week from my case officer at the Australian High Commission in London! Unfortunately though, as we were so impatient and came over here before it was granted it means I now have to leave Australia for at least three working days. So we are now looking into last minute deals to go anywhere within a 3-4 hour flight from Sydney. At the moment we are hoping to go to Auckland for four nights at The Langham as they are doing a really good deal, but this could all change if we don't book it soon! This news has coincided with Steve landing a couple of interviews this week, so it all depends on the outcome of these meetings.

Hopefully though, this time next week I will be flying off to spend a few nights here...

This aside though, it has come as an enormous relief that my visa has finally be granted. It now means I can start looking for a job as soon as I return to Sydney, which is not only good news for our financial situation but also for my sanity! If we both get jobs in the next four weeks, we should be able to secure our own place by the beginning of October which is the thing I am focused on at the moment. It is really hard to settle anywhere when you are living out of suitcases, and the need to nest is growing by the day!
