Are you thinking of moving to Cyprus?

We have just returned from living in Paphos for nearly 5 years. I could write a book on 'How not to do it'.

Due to the total **** ups we made we have returned to the UK nearly penniless.

To save anyone else losing money and of course all the stress we went through drop me a line and we're see if I can guide you in the right direction. No promises though.

How did you end up losing all your money? Do you have any general tips for everyone?

Thankyou, we are flying out this Wed and staying in a villa to see what its like there, someone said you rather love it or hate right away. We shall see. I was at a party the other night and the amount of people there that had been and loved it makes me think i will too. (still the phobia of spiders and snakes though) regards Jan

Jan, I too am terrified of snakes. We have a house is Cyprus and in all the times we have been there I've not seen one snake - apart from a couple of dead ones by the side of the road. They are about tho as I know other people who have had them in their gardens. You can get snake repellent to put round your garden boundaries that keeps the snakes out.

I know there are a couple at the bottom of our garden where we haven't started phase 2 of the rennovations - but I clomp about a lot and stomp my feet to frighten them off . . . .

Good luck
Nicola
