Helloooo you lot

I've come to the conclusion that I was over-worrying the other day. I was worrying about asking my manager for holidays at the end of August for 3 weeks and turned out I didn't even really have to - He brought it up himself! And said he can't see any problem with it. So that's one thing less to worry about.
I don't know if I'm doing the dress thing but I've seen a nice simple thing that I like and it's only $99 if I do decide to So we'll see how that goes!

Emailed my estate agent to make sure it was okay for me to move in later than we agreed, as if all goes to plan I'll be in America on my original move in date. They emailed back saying that was no problem!

So now all that's left to do is work my ass off at work and put in some extra shifts and all should go okay money wise!

Who needs family, eh?
I wish I wasn't such a worrier though - It's exhausting!

Wow, so you've set a date? And once you are married that entitles you to remain in the US??

We haven't set a date as such - We're aiming for the first week of September but nothing is definite until we've actually managed to book the flights! Which could be between 4 and 8 weeks from now!

And no, sadly not. Being married just entitles us to start the immigration process - Which takes about 10-12 months, about $1300, and lots and lots of forms - Not to mention having to travel to London twice (once to get a medical exam and once for my final visa interview) plus having to get records of all my vaccinations from the doctors (I'm expecting this to be way harder than it should be knowing the NHS) and getting any of the required vaccinations I'm missing >.> Technically I can stay in the US for 90 days with no legal problems - But financially is a whole other issue

I suppose you don't get a green card to work over there until you are a citizen.....does your OH have a job?

Nope, no green card until I'm granted permanent residency >.> She doesn't have a job at the moment as she's been home schooling the kids full time (one of which is still school age).

I hadn't realised there were children!! How many??

Two! Not quite children though now One is 19 and the other just turned 16 last month

She doesn't look old enough!!!!

I know right She's 41! She looks even younger in person, too

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay So good hun x

You're welcome

You'll be sorted soon enough Lottie, it will all come together.

Go for the dress, you will look lovely and you don't need to spend a fortune.


Had a lazy day all but nipped to my elusive garden center which is lovely and eco friendly

I've said a little midsummer love spell for Lottie and A*****

That's nice Twass, I'm sure she will appreciate a bit of magic

Not long till I finish now, it's only weeks

You'll be here having a chill in my beautiful garden before you knows it

I hope so If not there's always December. I might get the dress but also I might just go casual We're only doing a same day as we arrive city hall dealy. We don't even need witnesses!


Awww, thank you Twassy We appreciate it <3

Not that you need any help I'm sure!! xxx

I look forward to it


Do whatever you want to do, it's your (both of you) day and that's okay just turning up and no witnesses, brilliant

On the Footy......Ghana in the lead

STILL watching footy even tho our lot of no good eejits are out??

Well you never know when it might come in handy


Yeah it took us a couple of months to find a place where you don't have to get your marriage license at least 3 days beforehand so I'm just glad we have potentially found somewhere. Anything else is extra

Yes, course I am, I wasn't expecting us to go too far in it anyway, that was a great match


That is really good when you think of how long it can take to sort out here, it's a massive cost and whilst lovely to have all the 'trimmings' simple can be just as good

So long as you are happy

Awwwwwwww

Morning all exceptionally fabulous peepsicles that post in It's Mine!!!! Glorious day forecast, I intend doing as little as possible

I ought to go and support our Cats stall at a big local fair but it will be heaving, nowhere to park, boiling hot, and I don't wanna!

Morning peeps.

It does look like a glorious day out there. I will be out enjoying it post haste

I'm going out, sod the hoovering

Make the most of it, looks like there is a low coming in breaking down the high, it's mess of a weather front with rain by Thursday and that concludes the Potty Weather Forecast.
