Can you not just pop to another local country, renew your visa and come back in?
Yes, that is/was an option, but it wouldn't have sorted out the financial situation. I cannot stay here and rely on Roxanne and her family forever.
As for when I get off the plane, I shall see which way the wind blows, then make a decision. Some very kind people here on blonde. My trouble is I am to bloody stubborn for my own good, but I am confident something will sort itself out.
