Return to the UK in over a month.
 
Hi Everyone

Everyone thinks we are returning at the end of October but unknown to them, we will be surprising them all in August. I even had to tell a white lie to my parents this morning saying its October and they are soooo excited that we will be home soon.

We have sold our house, cars and some of our contents. We have our furniture in the UK in storage waiting for our return. The dog has had her 1st visit to the vet and the final visit is on 27th Aug. We are currently obtaining dental and medical records.

I have even brought a car from a friends garage as Mrs Smith and he has no idea its me so he's going to be gobsmacked when I pick up the car.

It will be so good to see their faces, my Canadian friends are sworn to silence on facebook. lol

I hope they all take the shock well.:)

I love the idea of the surprise! :-) Perhaps that is something I should do in the coming years...

Yep and they still have no idea and I am loving every minute of it knowing that I am going to make everyone's day.

Good luck with your move.

You too! Mine won't be for some years yet - I was hoping 5 years or so, but might have to be longer thanks to those wonderful new requirements by the UKBA for foreign spouses. *Grumble*
