What have we overlooked in the documents supporting Kaye's visa application?

Probably be best to play it safe.

Nickel, it looks like he should send the documents only!

Our papers are still stuck. As soon as I have an outcome I will post it.

He was born on the 27th September 2008 so I think he is six years old at the moment.

I would send the items separately, its not worth the risk, you have seen what can happen, its an experience we can learn from.

I don't know about you ladies and your creams, the Mrs is always sending for a brand she cannot get here, just today I have to stop at home waiting for one of her cosmetic deliveries

I keep saying to her that I'm sure you can buy the equivalent of what ever it is in the UK, but oh no it has to be a certain brand.

That may not be my last moan of the day

Some progress - K just texted me to say she is arranging a pick up point with DHL

Yeah. Like Ligo Sardines...

Good news indeed, lets hope you receive the full contents of your package undamaged.

a slinky--? is that like a very flexible coiled spring that can "walk" down the stairs--?

if it is--i remember having one of them as a little kid.

and i'm 67 now.

There we go;

Yes i will tell him about what happened to your parcel...That is sad But thank you , i will take your advise.

I have just been talking to DHL who tell me that apparently the package had been submitted for clearance as "personal effects" and not, as apparently it should have been, as a "gift".

How long was the delay?

Let the husband moan, so long we get the brand we need hahahaha Husbands must show wives some effort!

K has not got the package yet

Good to see you lot from the Philippines have a good sense of humour

Our cupboard is full of this that and the other brand of Filipino delights. Cant have a can of John West tuna. No. It has to be the Philippine equivalent.

For sure i would hear Mr.Nickel moan at me then.... this and that like a sari -sari store?

There has to be some Spam. This is not to be eaten; it is just there because life would not be complete without a can or two of Spam in the cupboard.

There also has to be some tamarind flavouring.

And of course the tinned fish

The famous sketch

You are exactly right of course, just checked, I have spam and we have a tin of John West salmon because we're posh
