Hi All,
I've not posted for ages as i thought the forum was down - i've not long discovered it's back working again; phew!!
Our EOI has been accepted with 170 points , and now we're just sorting our way through the mountain of paperwork we need to get together before we can apply for our visa. My OH's job is supposed to start in september so hopefully everything will run smoothly!!
We've got 5 shipping companies coming out to see us over the next few weeks. After reading a useful thread on here it seems like they all have their good and bad points, but we've plumbed for Crown, PSS, Pickfords, Robinsons...and one more that i can't remember right now. I've got a list of questions for them all (again off here), and i think we'll just go with the one that feels right at the time.
Next job on my list is to look at setting up a NZ bank account, and also a cash transfer account.
Massively stressed that we are not going to sell our house, and might have to leave the UK with it still on the market. I know that wouldn't be the end of the world, but we're trying really hard to tie up all of our loose ends so we can make a fresh start straight away in NZ.
Things have really started picking up speed now and we're feeling a bit daunted by it all, but we're just trying to remain focused on the future, and how happy we know we will be when we get there.
Cheers all
