I'll do my best! Must go yarn shopping tomorrow. I may end up painting one if my hands aren't cooperating quite well enough ;) (and I paint like a 2 year old ... but hey ... it's the stress relief that counts!)

.... I've been going through lots of boxes of stuff that never got unpacked and just found many tubes of glitter, and my funfur rainbow leg warmers. Halfway to being a unicorn myself.  ;D

That is a pretty epic find!  Glitter and Funfur rainbow leg warmers sounds like the start of an epic outfit to make your entrance to the UK when you arrive  :)

Larrabee you're slacking!  Your frog is still hiding, and I've made a bird:

Trying to up my game, decided that I couldn't start my day without first working on frog!

I think I'm at a pivotal point now. Feeling awesome because I got the legs folded and it looks just like it should at 22.15 (except not quite as neat) but I totally can't get the hang of his head and my paper is starting to tear!  :o

Time for a break!  ;D

Congratulations on the approval EmilyUK and CharlieB  :) I'm sure there will be glitter rainbows all very soon!

Keeping my finger crossed for an approval when hubby's pack gets to him on Tuesday  ;D

Crossing fingers for you too! That's such an ordeal to wait til Tuesday. Fold everything you can find and cover it in glitter!

It is! Really squeaking in under the wire! But we're very excited that in just a couple of weeks we get to be "boring" married people who live in the same house and aren't drowning in paperwork ... until we apply for FLR(M), but at least that's in the same time zone!

I hearby appoint this the official verb of this thread.

To glitterize, to glitterise meaning to apply sufficient glitter to obscure all UKVI related suffering whilst eating cake and singing anthems by the light of the moon
