Thanks guys!
So OH went along to the home office and then they said they have no official stamp and the form goes on and on about how it must be stamped! They also said that whenever they deal with anything south African related its a nightmare .... I can only agree! They did the fingerprints and signed who they were etc. Then other half rang the embassy and they said no that's okayso just need to go through all the forms today and send them off
Wedding was lovely and we barely spent a penny. OH left with my sister early (she has ME so can't do much for long) and then me my other sister and my cousin discovered the wine not drunk at other tables and had a fabulous night drinking free winelots of dancing and catching up with people. Even more amazing no hangover the next day..........
............ the one issue with this is the day after I did my dates and realised I was 'late' two test later and I discovered we do not have ten months to get rid of this debt we have 8!! only just under 5 weeks so very early days.... doesn't feel real but at same time even more determined.
Suffering caffeine and nicotine withdrawals at the same time is fun but think how much I will save with a good reason to quit!
