For those that have recently moved to the UK...

Well, I have officially made it over! YAY! Nothing to report so far since I haven't even been here for a week...

But I'm really stoked about all the advice and stories everyone gave.  And I can't wait til I have some to share with others that are moving.

Welcome home!  Glad you decided to join us on this side of the pond.

Thanks! I'm quite happy too!!! Only thing I wish for right now is some furniture.... damn Argos and DFS and the weeks upon weeks delivery!!!  Hahaha.  Going to IKEA this weekend for some other furniture... wish I had something more to sit on than hubby's bean bag and our dining room chairs.  LOL.  However, I guess if this is my biggest complaint than we're doing very well.

Hehe... we waited 16 weeks to get our furniture from DFS. So annoying! We had to borrow this tiny love seat from a friend of the family and we could barely both fit on it if we sat straight up, forget lounging or trying to cuddle... lol. I feel your pain! The good news is, once you do finally get your furniture, it's something to be very excited about! I think you appreciate it more! 
Have fun getting new stuff for the house and getting all settled in. If you need anything, just give me a shout!

YAY!!! I love new furniture

16 weeks? I'll have to remember that when I gripe about having to wait 5 weeks...My MIL offered one of her sofas out of her lounge but I would feel really terrible about taking it.  And I'll definitely let you know if I need anything, but so far so good.

YAY!!! I love new furniture

Me too!!!!

I've been here a year now, and it's a different outlook than I had after first moving here.    My biggest problem was meeting people - I tried everything. I didn't think it would be that hard, but one year later, I can finally say I've started to make friends.  It's different for everyone, some people make friends right away, others take a while.
