    ummmmm tell me you're not trying to move TO the yUK? if so, then i suggest a session with a mental health professional rather than the immigration people ... stop now before it's too late ... trust me ... take all the events you describe as a sign to not continue down the path you are on :omg:

      Playing with my son wasn't, the rude awakening was.

      He'll be 9 in, like, two months. I don't mind playing with him as a general rule, but he knows and exploits the fact that I always cave in to his cajoling, even if I'm doing something else. He also always tries to get me to go to his house, sleep over at his house, watch him play games, help him with games, stuff like that. It's kinda weird, 'cause he's always telling people he wants to be like me when he's older; I don't know why, and it makes me feel sort of uncomfortable.

                              Incredible. This morning was just straight out of hell! 1. My son, for the first time ever woke up at 6ish and woke me up by slapping me continuously giggling and calling out "daddy!" 2. I walk into my office to find that my laptop hdd has crashed. Its OK, I have backups, its just an absolute pain to have to re-install everything :mad: 3. On the way to the Brit and Oz embassies, a twit of a lorry driver rear ends me, not much damage but the rear bumper is now cracked 4. Two blocks down the road a complete fool of a woman driving a Cayenne almost breaks off my right side mirror. Her excuse for driving like the fool she is, she's in a hurry because she was going to miss her morning appointment at a spa! :mad: 5. It takes 2 years of living in the UK before I get a permanent residence visa and that includes having to have a job. It is my understanding that you practically can't get a job unless you're a permanent resident or a citizen. 6. The Oz embassy was closed today because its a religious holiday that I completely blanked out about. However, I was told that for permanent residence visas, I might as well apply for immigration. So far, not a good start

                              Isn't your wife British? I know next to nowt about emigrating in to the UK, but I'd have thought that would count for something.

                                If you think the UK is bad Lauren, you should try Jordan. And on top of all the BS that is abundant here, the income is terrible not to mention that I would be completely out of touch with the latest if it weren't for this site. I'm wasted here. Oz or back home to Canada it is.

                                        I know a lot of it comes from our history (i.e. empire) but we have a lot of people wanting to emigrate here and it is a much smaller country than the likes of the US. Because we aren't that large a country and get lots of people coming from Europe etc. we have to be stringent. With the points system one question is, if you want to live here what do you have to offer the UK? I mention the US because our histories are very different. By the way, one of my nieces could always wrap her parents around her little finger. I wonder if your sone has been on a distance learning course with her? :laugh:
