Happy Dance!  I'm glad it's all sorted for you now, that must have really been hard since nothing was certain.

We actually went out to dinner to celebrate. I had steak even. If anyone in north London with kids don't know about it already...Banners in Crouch End is absolutely the best I have found in my 2 years here...most family friendly...even by American standards.

Terri congrats fro all of us it was stressful with it being straight forward and we can only imagine the stress it has put on you especially with the children to.

Good luck with the next step and enjoy the time in between, we are applying for citizenship for me next month as long as we can decide whom to ask as ref's lol and that is difficult er.
