Passports have arrived with the Blue visa's on them. NZIS could not have been more efficient. We have had excellent service from them.

Contracts were exchanged on the house yesterday (fingers crossed solicitor did not phone to say any problems).

Packers will be coming on Wednesday to pack up all our worldy good. (and quite a lot of rubbish... Peter)

Peter starts work on 1st October. We have one month to relax(as if I could) in the UK and another to find somewhere to live in NZ.

New Zealand here we come. We are on our way at last almost a year to the day that we decided to apply. See you all over there.

Must go I can here the champagne cork popping.

Great news Nicola, don't think you will have a problem finding somewhere to live in Hawkes Bay loads of rentals available at the moment.

Congrats!! :clap :cool
What shippers did you go with?? Let us know how that goes... :smile

[Nicola]

We have gone with Crown as the shippers. Not the cheapest, but they did knock a bit of the price and the insurance. The main reason was the same company deals with your stuff at both ends.

Will let you know how the packing up goes.
