Thought "Bob's your uncle" is the British version of "and there ya go"

It means, 'then everything will be fine/completed'.

As in, 'just put a few more chips in this sandwich, and Bob's your uncle'.

The British version of 'howdy' is 'wotcha', or 'alright, mate?'.

It's more like, " And that's that" or " And there you go/are" or even, "and you're all set"

America does not have a great equivalent that I can think of at that moment.

It's one of those expressions that sounds absurd until you're told it's either British or Australian, at which point you're like "oh, that makes perfect sense then"
