Visa joy and money woes

July 31st, 2008 by Rachel

I think I have been neglecting my blogging duties somewhat…

In any case, I do have some updates. My India visa arrived and it is beautiful! That is a big weight off my mind as I was convinced my passport was going to go missing or some other terrible scenario and now that it’s arrived safe and sound, complete with visa, I’ve stopped dreaming about missing flights every night. I was going to send off for my Nepal visa next but don’t think I can take the stress again so I think I’m just going to get it at the border.

Money making has slowed somewhat. It is hard work coming home every night after a full day at work and going back on the computer to work more, whether it is ebaying or whatever. I’ve been a little lazy in the last week or 2 but time seems to be flying past even faster than ever now so I really need to get rid of belongings and make more money! I was rejected by AQA which I was absolutely gutted about. I made so sure that there were no mistakes in my test and I was pretty confident about passing. They don’t tell you why you didn’t get through either and I’m not allowed to apply for another 6 months so I may as well forget about that until I get to New Zealand. The other online job I applied for have filled all the vacancies for english speaking applicants, so basically the work online trail has dried up now. I’m just going to have to put all my efforts into working on my websites but it’s frustrating when they’re not bringing in any cash.

Just under 12 weeks until I leave now. I’ll be moving out of my house and over to my mum’s in about a month. Handing in my notice at work sometime before that, which I am not looking forward to! I need to make a list this weekend of everything I need to sort out and timescales for doing it all in. Plus maybe start packing up some books and things ready for the move.

Vaccinations wise, I have had my first two shots of Japanese Encephalitis and Rabies, at a cost of £86 (ouch). Another two of those to go. No wonder I’m feeling miserable about my lack of extra income…
