hi

so itâ€™s looking increasingly likely that we will move back this summer with me traveling a few months before hubby and child. Itâ€™s all seeming like rather an enormous task so I have questions, so many questions. Is there a step-by-step wiki-type page about the whole process or is it easier just to ask a (likely very) long list of separate questions please? Some of these are how we deal with me traveling before rest of family, can I take the cats at that time, what about our goods to follow with my hubby once weâ€™ve sold the house and school is out? Sorry itâ€™s all a bit vague but I guess I need to start somewhere? Links to website etc with info would be much appreciated if itâ€™s easier!

Re: Where to start

Are you all UK citizens or does anybody need a visa?

Re: Where to start

Is your husband a British citizen?

Make sure you all have visas (if required) somewhere to stay when you first arrive (I stayed with my dad), I then arranged a rental.
It might seem daunting but you will receive great help from this site. Good luck

Re: Where to start

We are all British citizens

Re: Where to start

Thank you all. Yes, we are all British citizens so no problem from that side. We got loads of great help and support from this site when we moved to Canada back in 2010 so I know itâ€™s a great resource. Guess I was feeling a bit overwhelmed as the reality of the move is getting very real now and I know weâ€™ll be fine, just need to get stuck in! Happy St. Patrickâ€™s day to all

Re: Where to start

You will be fine eventually so far thatâ€™s what you really want. The reality can be overwhelming. I see the house sale as most important. If thatâ€™s off the list. Take every other thing as a step at a time. All the best! Lots of others to follow soon!

thanks Elnino05. Lots of lists to make but house sale is definitely high on the agenda.
