Hi, Today we found out that we are moving back to the UK, to Colchester. We lived in Colchester 2004 - 2006 so are very excited. Hope to move in the summer time. There is a great cattery and Vet there that I used to use when it was just Rosy and Milly. Great for shopping as well, looking forward to shopping in Tesco again, next day delivery, 3 for 2 and so much more.

I will miss Cyprus very much so my goal now is to start working on my tan before the move but at least my house in Colchester will have central heating.....bliss.

Great news - it'll be a shame to move away from the sun but nice to be back in the UK. When does it happen?

_________________

Not sure when we move, it's like a domino effect, it all depends when the person my husband is taking over from has to move and so on. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will get to find out a moving date. I think it will be June/ July time.

My daughters have only lived in the UK for 2 1/2 years so it will be strange for them. Also back then it was easier to get your child into a school of your choice, I can't believe what I have to go through just to apply for a school.

It's going to be a busy few months, sorting schools, job hunting, getting our car shipped back over and of course sorting transport for my 3 bengals. Most of our furniture is in storage somewhere in the UK so need to liaise with the company to get that delivered then there's the stuff here that needs to go about 6 weeks before we leave. Oh the joys of being an Army wife!!!!

Just thought I'd update you all on my move......

We are flying back on 10th July, our last day at school and work is the 8th, going to be very emotional. So far the preferred and cheapest plan to move the cats is that I contacted a company in the UK very popular with military families in Cyprus who will book their flight with Thomas Cook to fly on the 6th. They will then meet them at Gatwick, take them to their cattery in Surrey overnight and then transport them to the cattery in Colchester that I used to use, there they will stay for 6 days until I collect them after the removals have been. In total including vet checks it's going to cost about £1300.

One of the other options was to leave them behind for a week and then meet them at the airport but I'd rather they go ahead so at least then I know they're already there instead of leaving them behind.

I have schools sorted for the girls, was easier than I thought it would be, both very good schools so very happy. We are now just waiting for a house to be allocated then we can book removals. Our car is scheduled to go on the ship next month. Once we have an address, I shall be booking my Sky

Weather set to get hot, so my tan starts this weekend, only 3 months to go.

Hi Marie,

I found your post through google and was wondeirng if you could help...I currently live in West Yorkshire with my Bengal - Eddison. He doesn't really go out as yet but is starting to get an intrest.

I am looking at moving over to Cyprus with him and was wondering if you could advise on if he would be okay. The best company to use for the move and getting the documents in order and how your Bengals were in Cyprus as I know there are alot of stray cats and cats aren't really seen as pets and was just wondering how you got along?

Thanks alot and hope your moving preparations are going smoothly!

Well today is the day my bengal babies fly back to the UK, I am extremely sad about them going and worried that they are going to be okay.

I have got the husband to take them to the airport this afternoon as I couldn't bear saying goodbye to them there. They fly with Thomas Cook into Gatwick and then Ladyhaye will collect them and take them to their premises for an overnight stay before taking them to the cattery that I used to use in Colchester where they will stay until next Wednesday.

When I took them to the Vets to have their pre-flight treatments Jasper tried to bite me as I put him in the crate and got very stressed but calmed down after about 5 minutes, he then hissed at the vet but did allow him to trim his claws which I didn't think he would let him do.

I have got the cattery emailing me tomorrow to let me know they have arrived and are okay.
