Hi Marcia,

Congratulations !!!!
Today I got an email with the same content (PR in principle). NZIS already has our passports. I gave it to them during my interview in London. 2 more weeks and the blue stickers should arrive.

Do you already know where you want to settle down?
We consider Auckland and Wellington.

Cheers,
Jerry

[Cardiff Irons]

Wicked man!!

Ok Ok we'll come clean Kev was offered the job as a gravedigger - hence Stevies piccies! Bit of a 'deadend' job!!! :DDoes that mean Kev will be working in the cemetery?

I've heard that it's the dead centre of town.

And that people are dying to get in there.

Even though it's a grave offence.
