Oh the Irony!!

So here I am currently awaiting for my residency application to stay in New Zealand. Time is dragging on, the expiry date of my current permit has drawn ever so close. To the point where I run the risk of being booted out of the country….

After going through several hoops and learning some complex circus skills (it seems) I have now managed to get a new interim work permit which allows me to stay for a further six months whilst my residency application is considered, here’s the catch – I am NOT allowed to travel overseas as I have not been given a new visa….

It’s funny how to coin twists its face from one direction to the other….

In other news I now know how to make a killer cheese sauce from scratch with no sachets in sight!

Residency Medical

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I completed the medical today, which involved reflexes, checking my pulse and the whole ‘cough please’ etc…

Long story short, despite having a high LDL cholesterol, and having higher than normal Haemoglobin count, I am well enough to proceed with my application. It’s seems my high blood-pressure the other day was not a consistent one, and my reading today was far more normal.

Yay for me :)

Just waiting on police reports now, and that’s me done.
