So I’m moving house soon and taking my lovely cat with me. She’s obviously used to our area and knows her away round here however I’m worried to let her out in the garden in my new house as she won’t be used to the area and may get lost. How quickly do cats learn to become familiar with their surroundings and is there any way I can help her? For example carry her around the garden or even around the area so she gets a feel for it?

Any tips? Thank you!

You don’t need to do anything. It’s instinctual. My mom had loads of cats and we moved many times. The only concern is that there are no highways around or drivers that don’t care whether they run something over. I’d say that’s the only concern really. They get used to new surrounding very easily. Exceptions of course is if there are other animals in the area that could be of threat (e.i, neighbor’s dogs, other cats..)

I move to America to be rich but I not make anough money. People are always discriminatory against me. I now have to move back and live with parents who now alos live here. I thinking of going to college? Is 26 to old to live with parents? How I live on with this shame?

Theres no shame, at least you gave it a go. Now if you were 26 and still living with your parents since birth….you suck!

Australians on WHV or HSMP.

Are you thinking of moving home and not working towards UK/EU citizenship?

I bought xbox live which lasts for a year, but i’m moving in 2 months. I heard that if you plug a different internet connection into the xbox your account can be banned…Will my xbox live be affected when I move to the new house? Should I change my address on my account, will this help?

Thanks

nope that shouldnt affect it. I always bring my xbox over to my cousin’s house on holidays and played over their internet. I think it only affect it if it’s a different HardDrive on your xbox cos all the info is saved in there. So by switching to a different HardDrive, your account wont be recognizable

Please read before answering. The contract on my current flat comes to an end on the 23rd September, however I will be moving out early into my new property on the 11th September. What date do I give to utility companies and council tax as my move out date? The 11th or 23rd September.

p.s. I privately rent, if that makes any difference.

11th September. Don’t forget to take meter readings. I expect your Landlord will require you to pay the Council tax until the 23rd. After that it’s up to him or a new tenant.

we own small property in Galveston county Texas , have found a house that could be moved for about 10,000$ about 20 miles . need to know what steps i need to take to move it and what hidden expenses should i expect

If you find a house moving company they will help you arrange this. It will be very expensive. They will need to get permission from every county and community you will go thru and schedule the time of day and arrange the lifting of any wires and such.

You will also need to work with the planning and zoning of Galveston to get permission to put the house on the property and of course to get permits to hook up to utilities.

But again, the house moving companies will help you line all this up.

Hi, im Irish, and im currently working at the moment. I am considering moving to America for a while, maybe a year, to work, or possibly get a visa for studying over there, i would like to practise Veterinary Nursing.
I don’t exactly know where to start to research these options!
Does anybody have any tips or good websites on moving to America to study/work?
Thank you!

To get a work visa and a student visa are two different things.
To apply for a temporary worker’s visa to the US under the H1B category, you need to hold a specialty degree for a profession that is in demand in the US like healthcare (nursing/therapy jobs). The official visa information page of the US Dept. of State is http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1275.html
You need a sponsor to get your H1 B visa approved. But if you want to go to the US as a student, you can look for information here http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html#4
The US is very strict, students are not allowed to work, unless for minimum-wage on-campus jobs. You need to pass the consular interview in your nearest US embassy in order to secure a student visa.
