In 5 days I will be in Croydon applying for my Settlement Visa. I have everything prepared and am familiar with the process having been there before so am not nervous (yet!). I never like the idea that someone could be having a bad day and decide something isn’t good enough and reject it.…
I did my Life in the UK test on Friday. I studied my arse off for it and then didn’t get any hard questions!! I feel like I was conned out of something because really, most of the questions I actually got were just common sense and isn’t the point of a citizenship test…
I have 5 days until my driving test for my UK license! I’m really hoping I pass the first time, it’s not very common in the UK. The test centre I will be taking my test from only has a pass rate of 49%! My prior driving experience will definitely come in handy, but…
Antibiotics, this time, are a good thing! They have actually helped me. I feel great now, which is a nice change, considering I’ve been ill for the past 3-4 weeks! 30 days until my driving test. Eek! I had my first lesson, the “assessment” lesson, on Saturday to see what I need to work…
I realize that I’m in England and it’s known for the windy, wet, cold weather. But.. not in MAY! I swear it’s doing it just because I’m walking. Stupid weather! Anyway. I got a lot done over the weekend, but not as much as I wanted. I didn’t write letters or study and so…
Hubby and I have been on holiday all this week. It’s been great (other than I have had to work each night, but never longer than 10 minutes, so I’m not too fussed about it and I did offer!) but I nagged a bit as we were going to go away somewhere initially. At…
I have been ill the past few days with a stomach virus or some crap. I never, ever got these things in the US, but since I’ve been in the UK I’ve had at least 3! It is NOT fun. On a much happier note, I finally – YIPEE – got my provisional driving…
My last post was pretty indicative of my mood throughout the whole weekend. A few incidents didn’t help to make it any better… I realized on Friday that my registration and car handbooks, etc (basically all the important stuff!) wasn’t in my car. I’m sure the people at the garage just didn’t put it…
I have been in a weird mood today (and by today I mean Friday, even though it’s now early Saturday). I was a bit snappy at work all day due to stress and not sleeping well last night. My workload is insane at the moment and I desperately need a raise, but never having…
