Thanks Chilly.
I've just been working out the number for Royal Mail for the return.I would advise that everyone records the return envelope that you enclose, I didn't, but I have another four in the same series.By rights this should come tomorrow morning, thats why you pay £5.

Our applications have just gone off to Hayes. Wonder how long they will take this year?

Well I didn't enclose our holiday itinerary either, there is a question which asks when you leave England and when you arrive in India and vice versa.

I had sealed up our applications before thinking of taking a note of the SD numbers :( lets hope they make a note of them at VFS - I mean they have to do something to earn their administration fee...... don't they :que

Kindly find your application being returned because of the following reasons.

Yep sure dose. Thank god I only paid for recorded delivery post last time so only cost me £1.50 both ways. This time it cost £10 recorded delivery plus £2.50 for the internet cafe because my useless new HP printer is poo and jams all the time.

Its all worth it though because India is such a fantastic place.

I have been on this computer since 2pm filling in the visa forms, it kept on crashing, what a pain, I have now finished it all, but just out of curiosity I thought that I would check the flights, we booked months ago, to my amazement the price on Jet airways from Mumbai to Goa,and back, on the dates we are using has gone up by 356 pounds it is now 488 pounds for the two of us. We used air miles for BA and just paid the taxes, the taxes alone has gone up by 123 pounds, each. I have a feeling that we will be having our last holiday in Goa.

I had a feeling that this would happen that is why we booked monts and months ago. I dread to think of what the prices will be next year.
