Hehehe, nice one. I'll try it out

Took over a year and 3 court visits to sort out, even though it was obvious to everyone that it was their fault.
Not yet Jake, we ordered it on Wednesday via e-census and paid for it Thursday.
Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
Otherwise I may be stuck until I can think of a way around it.

Hope it doesn't work out same as you wife's did
If it does and I can't find a way I'll have to leave the country to secure another BB visa free year and use a lawyer to get more documents (quote last November was P45k)

Hopefully one of my character references can pull a few strings
No I'm not ashamed about that.
