Visa formalities

Received today from my future employer a list of things to get done
Health check which sounds easy in theory but having now spent 2-3 hours on the phone to local hospital and then GP and back to hospital still no further forward will try again on Monday.

Also need to send my passport and eight passport style photos yes i did say eight I ask myself why so many?

Then our office in China will fill in the 3 forms and return my passport along with completed forms which I then take to Embassy in UK.

Maybe its just me but seems a bit of overkill.

Have planned this weekend to start clearing out clothes etc which I don't want to take with me need to be a bit more ruthless on this than i normally am.

Also my ex is going to take some household items of my and then i will dispose of the remainder to a local charity shop and by then i reckon i will be down to one large and one smaller suitcase. Which in some ways is scary that all my possession's will amount to two suitcases hope the air line don't lose them!

But I have to say as it creeps closer i cant wait to get started in my new job and new challenge really looking forward to it.
