I have in my hand a passport, a UK passport, my UK passport.....
With my PR Blue Stickers in......

I havent got my head around it yet, i got a call this morning to pop into agents office, and ever since, all day i have been taking it out the glovebox about once an hour to look at it and re-read it! lol
I cant believe it, i am going to sleep tonight for the first time as a legit permenant resident of NZ, i had genuinely in my own heart given up about 2-3mths ago privately been looking at plans to re-establish life back home. Goes to show eh.....
