Oh me! Well, every 2 weeks I log-in to the NZ immigration website and do one of the 'peep through the fingers' look to see if our application has progressed at all, and, yes, today it has changed from 'submitted' to 'selected'!
Now, whilst I would really like to be doing handstands and cartwheels down the carpark, I will remain demure, refined, and calm. (I am at work, after all!)
The thing is, this is just another babystep along the long road to NZ for us!
I am trying to keep a calm sooth, they still may decide not to let us in, or they may reduce the points claimed.
With Mr Granite landing the job of his dreams in January, and desperate to get experience under his belt, if we are successful with the application, we have decided that we shall be staying on here as long as possible and we want him to secure the same (or similar) job in NZ before we commit to going... so this will be a bit of a 'chicken and egg' juggle.
I am keeping one foot FIRMLY on the ground until everything is ticked, crossed, dotted and stamped!
But I am having 'whoop whooop whooooops' in my heid momentarily!
