Another Moving Diary

[Uk-Scots]

Good Morning All x

Now down to 7wks to go and only 3 wks to the packers arriving. Been in contact with the shipment company and we have all decided to bring the container to us, which is a win win situation all round as for us we do not have to try deliver the car with an empty fuel tank and we also get to see the container being sealed, also less chance of anything getting lost. Also makes it a lot easier for the packers to load up here. Decided to take out our own Marine Transit Insurance through another company, who have been very helpful so far and are at quarter the price. Makes me feel better knowing everything is insured, one less thing to worry about.
Had a lot of interest in the house so hopefully a buyer will come along soon. Still awaiting the flight details for the dog, which hopefully comes soon.
So now at a little stand still for the next 2wks until I can start getting ready for the packers, which will be where the fun starts!

Hope everyone is well x

There is nothing more heartbreaking than losing all your family photos, memories etc which cannot be replaced.

Veronica how apt that you took the words out of my mouth, some friends just used a local company for an overseas move and they had so many items broken smashed damaged and more !!! ( cant say any more as I believe there is a police / court case and investigation taking place as we speak ) so the importance of your really personal and important things being kept safe is paramount for sure

Hi Peter,

I think due to our so called summer of never ending rain, it's no wonder why we and our fellow scots are moving to Cyprus!
Looks like we are moving over about the same time, we only have 6wks to go. Where in Scotland are you?

yeah i couldn't agree more with that especially with the last month or so, I live in Glasgow just now, born and bred here and my wife Yana is from Belarus but I think the the time has definitely come to seek pastures new, you only live once eh

Very true, yes we only live once so why not give it a shot :-) We are in Fife and can't wait for the move.
Best of luck to you both and hope it all works it for you.

Very good news, after only 6wks of our house been on the market, it is now Under Offer and in the process of concluding the missives!!! Couldnt have come a Better time, just before everything is due to be packed up.
It's been a busy week! Spent all weekend preparing for the packers arriving yesterday. Boy can they pack lol, everything packed in a day and a half and put into the container, tied in then putting the car in which was very eventful!!! It was a very strange feeling seeing the container driving away today then walking back into an empty house, full of mixed emotions at the moment. Can't believe it is all really happening now. It as come round so quickly. So now staying between both parents houses.
Also the dog now has her flight in place, our flights are booked and airport hotel booked. Bring on the 29th August to begin the next exciting chapter of our lives :-)

It's quite a strange feeling watching your wordly goods being driven off and thinking the next time you see them will be 'on the other side'.

I hope it all turns out as planned.
