Property For Sale in Calis Beach & Turkey => Moving To Turkey => Topic started by: Linda1953 on December 23, 2005, 11:52:20 AM

I'm trying to plot my exodus for a few months to Turkey. I'll be getting rid of all my furniture and probably just having a suitcase full of admin, my cat and me with some clothes going over there.
I need to get my passport renewed which is what I will immediately be doing after Jan 6th (can't do it before).
I'm having problems co-ordinating it all as I have to have vacated my premises by 6th January 2006, not having anywhere planned directly to stay beforehand, as I don't want to get tied up in any flat 6 month contracts, so to be honest I am in dire straits over accommodation before I get off to Turkey, then there is the cat to see to in preparation and then getting my backside over there provided I can fit all my worldly goods(what is left of them)into two large suitcases!
Any suggestions apart from hitting the Raki LOL!

Maybe a small cheap guest house is worth checking or tell the council you are homeless.
Dunno, have you no friends to put you up or relatives if you only need a bed and will only be carrying two suitcases. Apart from that ring CAB.

it will be no good going to the council,they will say you have made yourself homeless.
all the guest houses are full this time of year dont you know that.if i was you i would go to argos and get yourself a nice warm sleeping bag for that stable you are going to end up in.dont get to worried if you wake in the night with three wierd blokes with beards standing over you .lol
seriously though i hope all works out for you.

I've checked out a B&B locally today and I will probably be in there until I get sorted. :D
There is a woman's resource centre who said I am quite welcome to go there if all else fails me as they know of my circumstances. :)and they are not straightforward but I don't want to go into it here.
Yes Marcus you are quite right about the council, but they still have a duty to put you up for 28 days even if you do make yourself intentionally homeless, it's the by law. Have a look on the Shelter site. :)

Hi Linda
If you have friends/relatives who will be visiting you in the future maybe you could leave some bits and pieces with them to bring over when they come - just a thought.
Hope all goes well.

Thanks for all your good wishes and I'll keep you posted up to 1st Jan, after that I'll be offline until I get organised as I have to shut everything down for moving.
I've been static in this house for 10 years of my life and as some of you might know desperately trying to get out of it for the last 18 months. (The same houses around me are still up for sale and there are no signs of moving for them). I'm over 50 and I'm grabbing what's left of the last half of my life - adventure and a new life here I come! There are people in the world with far less than me, and far less opportunity than I have had!
A very good friend of mine has contacted me and is putting me up in Leicester while I make the transition from UK to Turkey as I there are still things to be decided such as my business and done before I go.
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE ON CALIS BEACH AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY MOANS AND GROANS AND HYSTERICS! LINDA! XXXX

Good for you Linda, I am pleased someone has come to your aid.
Go for it and grab life, like you say. (Life isn't a rehearsal, it's now)
Best Wishes

They're not histerics, they're genuine concerns that MUST be worked out. Get your ducks in a row and you'll be able to enjoy Calis Beach even more without anthing hanging over you.
Good wishes from us to you.
Jealous of Ramsgate.

Update on this thread is I've been here since Jan 26th 2006 and am settled, renting apartment, made many good reliable friends, been quite a few places, from feeling the initial fear of getting my first Dolmus on my own - now I'm wizzing around the country on various buses to various destinations! So it all worked out in the end. Glad I did what I did and have no regrets! Although I still have thoughts of OMG what have I done? when I get up in paradise look out of my apartment at that big beautiful mountain just over the way I forget the struggle I had to get here!
-
Linda, our bedroom balcony looks at that same beautiful mountain, there is nothing like having your morning cuppa while looking over that way. Whatever happens, you have done the right thing, it's cold, grey and wet here today, imagine yourself walking up Wavertree road, past lots of boarded up shops or walkning down to the bridge. The choice is yours!!
Look forward, not back, and good luck.
