--Amber

CONGRATULATIONS. :dance:

I kept an eye out for Stephen but the place was packed with people and I didn't notice him. I'm also flying out on the 18th January - in fact I'm off to book my ticket now. :thumbs:

Gillian

Yeah, Stephen said there were loads of people there. Very anti-climatic for him as well. Never a peep about evidence of ongoing relationship, etc. But as sure as you DON'T have it, they're going to want to see it!

I'm so happy for you, Gillian! Maybe you and Stephen will be on the same flight over! LOL!!!

Thanks to all who've posted congratulations!!! It feels really, REALLLLY good!!!!! :star:

Hi,

We received my interview date yesterday, 6th Feb. They received my request on the 19th Dec so considering the holidays it was quite a speedy response.

Although I've not posted on here much the information here from other people has been invaluable. Many thanks.

Neil (& Annie)
