I am about to start a similar line of work so thought that might be the reason, but the fact that you and your wife took it surprised me. The odds of being accepted for the British FCO are 100 to 1. The odds of a couple being accepted will therefore be 10,000 to 1. That isn't to sound negative, I don't know your situation, I merely found it surpirising. But really good luck to you. I've always wondered how many people on TFP work for their respective foreign services, so hearing your story (well, a tiny part of it!) is uplifting. Again, good luck.

odds of one of us getting accepted is higher than just one of us taking the exam.
I've been trying to corporate route to no avail, next if the government route, and if that doesn't work then I'll just have saved enough money and we'll just pick up and move ourselves.
