    Done and dusted several weeks back. She finishes work on 18 September, so she will have time to stay with mum and dad on Leyte for a few weeks. Vignette is valid from 15 October so she will return to Cebu around that data to get the CFO stamp and spend a few days in Cebu saying goodbye to friends and brother, before flying for UK on 21 October - that was the only day with a cheapish flight to the local airport, that did not have ridiculous airport waiting times.

    I think your cat is cute. Siamese I think. Mine is half-Siamese but my wife does not like cats.

    @Bootsonground @Markham Many thanks for your responses - the reality is finally beginning to hit home for me. My wife is still on cloud 9 of course. I hope she adjusts to life in the UK

    I saw that coming a mile away :lol:

    Like you I am a cat person Howerd, not so keen on dogs indeed I have basically told them over there that if they ever get a dog it's goodbye, I will be living somewhere else.

    My sister usually has about 4 cats at any one time :)

    Your wife's experience of cats may have been of the scrawny poor starved felines that often roam the streets over there, we have a nice cat that has adopted us part time in Manila she comes and goes as she pleases :)

    You understand my sense of humour and I already knew of our joint love of cats. Maybe I should have married a Russian?

    Thanks for that. I guess you are still busy moving to the UK?

    We arrived a week ago and have been running around trying to get things sorted out... Everyone thought it was freezing cold and we had to go buy large coats. Picking up the BRP at the local post office went smoothly. Bit of an adjustment phase suddenly having house full of people compared to living on my own.. Today is first day back at work .. :)

    @ChoiAndJohn My wife has already asked me to buy her a coat before I pick her up at the airport but I told her I will just let her wear one of mine and we will go shopping once she gets here. The wardrobe already has space cleared!
