Hi guys

I sent my documents over to Ashley last week using DHL. I was able to track them for 36 hours on the DHL website going via Belfast , East Midlands , Cologne and Hong Kong to Manila, whereupon they said "delivery arranged - no more details". A nervous day later saw them arrive at Ashley's house in Davao.

She called the courier Aboitiz on Friday for the collection of the documents and they told her that they would send someone to lift them on Monday between 8am and 5pm. For this they are charging 225 pesos in cash. I don't know if this amount varies depending on where in the Philippines they have to collect to take them to UKVACS.

Fingers crossed that everything goes well. I will keep everyone informed.
