Dog had his rabies jab today - 1 month until his blood test and then all being well 6 months from then we can go home!

I'm about a month ahead of you, now just need to find a job.

I'll post anything I find out, or PM you re: the dog stuff, as you'll be just behind me in the process.

Latest I posted was concern that the Yanks put the date backward (mm/dd/yyyy) on all documentation, and I was worried that would be a problem. Seems it definitely would for the PETs certificate (you get that shortly before you are ready to leave), but not the other (rabies cert, blood test, etc.), but I'm emailing DEFRA just to be sure.

so looks like this year is for both of you guys....

How exciting....

dunroving where are you coming back too?

well, we're all at it at the moment!!!
long heart to heart (seem to have a lot of them when unsettled migrant!) and planning now to be home this Easter

we really must all have a get together in Blighty, what gang would we call ourselves? there seem to be so many at the mo
im taking dog too.

best of luck amanda and paul and dunroving - you sound like you've wanted this for some time

fingers crossed!
love c x

My oh finally resigned friday, we should be back by the summer. Now all we need are jobs. Oh yes and I really must get on with the pet passport thingy for the scatty catty.

Wherever the job is. I'm pretty restricted, to places with a university, that has a department matching my area of specialism, in a place where houses are reasonably priced.

Best bets right now are Glasgow/Stirling/Edinburgh area, Manchester, Sheffield, and S. Wales. Some other possibilities, but all have drawbacks (expensive housing, research interests very different or nonexistent, etc.) I'm waiting on a possible interview at the U. of Glamorgan right now.

What is your academic field, dunroving?

Regards

T.

What about Belfast ??
Anyway I didn't realise that you were actually moving back - just thought you were talking about it.
Fair play, and good luck to you

Health-related, exercise science (often called sport science in the UK, but I'm interested in the health aspects, not competitive sport performance)

I can top that..I only have 4 months to go we will move end of May, beginning of June..yuppiduppiduuuu

mmm not bad...

...6th March for us! Everyone should try www.orbitz.com we got LAX to LHR on Virgin for $590 for both of us one way! That's half of BA's price! More money left over for proper he hehe

Also our dog's Vet Certificate came back from USDA all signed and stamped. All Vet Cert dates were dd/mm/yyyy and everything else was mm/dd/yyyy....no problems at all. It only took them 3 days from when it arrived to approve it and send it back, plus it only costs $24!

We live in Belgium and only need a ferry ticket

ahhh....touche!

Ah, the good old U. of Glamorgan - or Polytechnic of Wales (PoW) as it was called when I graduated. The memories come flooding back. The campus has changed a lot since my days there from what I've seen on the web site. I think the last time I went back for a visit was around 97 or so.

Good luck with the interview. And say hi to Ponty for me when you get there.

Good luck Amanda and Paul! We are returning to Bournemouth inituially then possible Fordingbridge/New Forest. The best part of the country and the environment that I've been happiest with. We'll be back in late April and can't wait. Once the decision is *finally* made, it is an exciting time.
