Tuesday 16th February 2010 - OH NO

Well last night I had emailed the people over in Finland slightly telling them my situation.

Hi

My visa still has not arrived yet.

I have not bought my tickets due to this. I sent you the email that I got from the Finnish Consulate in Australia.

I am very sorry about this and have done that is all in my power to try, to get ready.

Hi,

We're so sorry to hear about your VISA trouble. Lasse already phoned the immigration authorities last week, and he's going to do it again this week.

Here everything is fine. The children are happy, and we do a lot of things together. We still have a fantastic winter weather, I wish it would last forever or at least until you arrive so you could experience it too.

I swapped job again (according to my plans) and work at the hospital that is only 2 km away. The ward is a rehabilitation ward for neurological patients, so we mainly have stroke patients.

Cheers,

Ulrika

Hi

I'm glad everything is fine. The weather sounds wonderful.Here our weather seems to change from sunny one day to rainy the next.

So your job is now alot closer? That is very good.

I am very worried about my visa. Thanks to Lasse for checking, what news did he have?
If I do not get it by the end of this month would you be willing to wait till I do recieve my visa, for me to come over?

As if not I would need to make other plans regarding this year. As my option for this year if I can not got to Finland, is uni is starting in two weeks.

I would still love to go over to Finland, and live with your family and take care of your children. I have been so excited for it, but I would understand if you did not want to wait.

This is rather urgent point, you could ring me if you wish.

Cheers

Josephine

Hi Josephine,

This is Lasse writing. The weather is really wonderful this year, we all hope you can come over soon. I did call the immigrant office but it was not easy to get any answer. I will have to call them again, as I could not speak to the right person so I got some sort of standard answer type "please wait, we do not no anything, we just work here".

We will however wait for you regardless if it still takes some time, you are more than welcome to our home - so don't worry about that. I have a meeting the whole day tomorrow, but I will call them on Wednesday.

Do you have any copy of the visa application or reference number or similar to refer to when I talk to them? Im not sure but it might help.

Hope to hear from you again soon :)

Lasse

So I think that made up my mind all over again! So now I will be going to Finland no idea when, no where though at least.

I explained more after mum gave me a lecture - well not really just her honest opinion that you have to be open with people at all times. It makes life so much easier. If I had known from the start that I would go no matter what my life would have been so much easier this last summer! Now I need to ring up the uni people and study link people grrrr.

Took Jolene to the doctors today poor kid. Had another boil!!! But on the way home she fall over and grazed her leg right above it. Poor kid.

Went for a walk late at night with Tabi. "What do you wanna do?" "Cause trouble" "K" "Wait what???"

Great fun gonna miss er heaps when she goes.
