MandiF - that wasn't your post.
I had said exactly the same thing word for word, which is what motul was replying to, and so thought the swipe was at me as well.

I'm sorry if I took things too much to heart, am not having a very good day all round.

:(

Is 4.30pm too early to start on the white wine??

No MandiF yours was much softer, and even tho there a few words the same the thread wasn't. Anyway don't have a bad day! Your PP will be back from London before you know it! Chocolate seems to help bad days ;D

Thanks patiently and sorry again for snapping...

Think I'll have to start on the Pino Grigio, am sure that will help as I don't have any chocolate in the house, think hubby would be happier to come home from work to a tipsy me, rather than a teary me!

Ok ladies, this may help! Sorry Baloo, although I am sure you can find the humour in it! Oh and forgive me, this has nothing to do with immigrations, however it is meant to make light of the madness we are going through!

Words for Women to Live By!
1. Aspire to be Barbie - the ***** has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of
tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15
days...where does time go).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal
with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your
personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They all know me
here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you
walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons turn it into lemonade then mix it with
vodka and ice.

12. Remember wherever there is a good looking, sweet, single or married
man there is some woman who is tired of his bullshit!

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are hard.

14. By the time a woman realizes her mother was right, she has a
daughter who thinks she's wrong.

Thanks guys, really appreciate it, and love the post patiently, made me smile!

I know everyone has days like this, just hitting my share right now I'm in Canada when everything is supposed to be all shiny and bright and wonderful... Oh well, ho hum, it will be in an hour or so after my Pinot (yes, will spell it right this time!)

At least all you guys know what I'm going through and that really does help.

We got our PPR email yesterday and are so excited! I just have a quick question. My husband is visiting me in Canada right now. Can we send his passport to London from here and have them send it back here? He doesn't have to be in Ireland does he? Has anyone sent theirs to London from Canada with no problems? We just don't want to screw anything up!

Is that a dig at the rest of us?? If you could please watch your etiquette as you know there are still lots of people waiting with no news, it would mean a lot to us :D

All the best getting your passport returned to you.


Sorry that I am not being rude.....I know lots of people still waiting with no news. I am lucky and hope everyone
will get good news very soon!!!

;D

Thanks for the confirmation, I thought it was ok to send from here.

Mississauga received our application October 5th, I was approved as sponsor Nov. 4, ECAS updated to say my husband's part was in process since November 24. We heard nothing since then until he got the email yesterday! So excited. It's been a long haul (I was originally going to immigrate to Ireland, then we started getting his paperwork together a year ago) even though the Canadian immigration process for us has been pretty quick in all fairness. Fingers crossed for quick resolutions for everyone waiting!
