Almost.....

I manically checked the post again this morning and was THRILLED to get a letter from the Company we need the last document from! Not thrilled for long though!! The letter stated that the document had been produced but had been sent to our adviser, all we got was a letter saying they had done this!!! AAAAAAARGH!!!! I emailed the adviser and asked him if he could possibly fax the document to the Notary, I fully expected him not to be able to do this due to confidentiality issues or something!! Then I went out Christmas shopping, I couldn't stand sitting in and constantly checking my email inbox.

I went to Woolies while I was out, and I can't believe it won't be there for much longer!! It has ALWAYS been there!! I wore Ladybird clothes when I was little, let alone all my kids having worn it!!! While I was waiting in the HUGE queue there was an announcement that staff had found a lost child and could the parent come to the tills. A full FIFTEEN minutes later the unconcerned mother finally showed up!!! The poor little tot couldn't have been more than 18 months/2 years old and had been wrapped round a shop assistant all this time sobbing and shaking with fear. Words fail me.

When I got home I checked my emails and YESYESYESYES the adviser was able to use my email as permission to fax the document straight to our Notary :-) And the Notary had also emailed to say that he should have the dossier finished today and off to the courier to be sent to the FCO either tonight or tomorrow at the latest :-) I cried. I can't believe how stressful this has been, all for ONE PIECE OF PAPER!!! Our Notary is going to try his best to improve on the recently reported 3 week (EEEEK!!!) processing time for the Ethiopian Embassy and is doing his absolute best to conclude his work before he finishes for his Xmas break next Wednesday!!! Everyone keep your fingers crossed :-)
