Okay, so we’re not quite there yet, but we’re a lot closer!

After ‘losing’ the papers for five or so weeks, then receiving a replacement set from me… he took two weeks holidays. I didn’t realise this until I phoned last Wed, a week after he said he’d phone me with an update. Needless to say, I wasn’t terribly impressed when I heard the message on his phone.

Initially I left him a very polite (and calm) message, explaining that I was becoming frustrated with the lack of progress, and that after everything he’d put me through I couldn’t believe that he was still treating me with such discourtesy, and making me clean up his mess. (I don’t think I’m being too harsh there.)

The next day, when I didn’t hear any more from him, I phoned his GF to get in touch with him. I apologised to her for phoning her to contact him, and we had a lovely chat. Then I spoke to him, and the conversation was polite, but very brief. He’s such a selfish jerk… the “I’m on holiday” excuse really doesn’t cut it… TWO MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE DAMNED PAPERS IN THE FIRST PLACE! Grrrr! Stupid arse.

Today he was back at work, and he phoned to see what to do next. Looks as though he’s going to go and purchase a copy of the marriage certificate… I did have a copy ready for him, but didn’t have it with me today. Then he’s off to submit the forms… fingers crossed he does it today.

If it all goes well, we may make it in time for the October round, which means it could be all over in less than a month! Finally!
