Hi Julia Here
I have just spotted this diary thing and thought i would write something....
Tony and i got married in 2006 and have both been married before and we have been renting a house in Stockton-on-tees
He has always wanted to live abroad as long as i have known him anyway. Earlier this year we thought if we don't emigrate now we never will as we are always talking about it.
So we have put the plan into action. Firstly i sold stuff on ebay. Then for weeks i have been doing car boot sales. This has helped pay for storage of stuff with Britannia. They came round and you can buy used boxes off them for £1.00 each. I packed the boxes and they wrapped the furniture in protective foam stuff, and took away about 29 boxes of belongings i am keeping. The other furniture cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, settee, fire, wardrobes the new tenants bought them off us.
Last of all we took the remainder of the bootsale stuff that didnt sell to several charity shops and i feel liberated and clutter free.
The van we advertised at the last bootsale we did!! and someone bought it. We have been living at my mums for the past two weeks. Tony is just surviving as my mum angry with him for taking me away
Its quite funny as she slams his cup of tea in front of him!! Our flights are booked for this sunday!!! Its scary but we have done it now
I feel emotional, up and down, but i will see my family again 
I never saw a lot of them anyway! my daughter is at university for the next 3 years in london and my son said he will visit me whos 24 so thats the story so far...........
Just get on that plane tomorrow, and set off for your new life in the sun. The pace of life here is much slower, although it can be a little frustrating, but just chill and remember the Cypriot mantra . . . . . . siga siga . . . . . . slowly slowly. I'm sure you'll both be very happy here, so enjoy your flight and call me when you get here.
