We just had the first of the three international shipping companies round to quote. We haven't received the quote yet, but as expected we're looking at a 20 foot container. But we were under the impression that the shipping time was 6-8 weeks - not so. Apparently we're looking at 12 weeks without our stuff!
The worst part is that I can't take any of my wicker baskets - and I have so many! It will cost a fortune to replace them all. I'm NOT IMPRESSED.
With regards to our permanent residency, we had an email from our case officer two days ago, who said, "I expect to make an initial assessment of your application within 10 working days. If I require any further information from you I will contact you directly."
