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.

Brilliant. 
But you know you'll get home to find they all went on holiday to Spain and no ones there!
