Discouraged

Like surprise arrival to the UK?!?!?

Yeah, but the more I think about it, the more I think it may not be a good idea. What are your thoughts?

My package is in New Jersey and I have a huge pit in my stomach. This is farrr worse than the month and a half leading up to this moment...

Oh my goodness. Don't tell me that because last night I was thinking about all of this and felt like I was going to throw up. And I've still got a good 35-40 BD ahead of me!!!

Got my fingers crossed for you!!!

For me the first 30 business days were tolerable. It’s the beginning and end that are most nerve wracking!

Thank you! I’ve got mine crossed for you as well

OMG!
Yeah....I was curled up on my couch smothered in blankets all day reading and popping my head up at the window everytime I heard a car on Monday.

I hope you don't wait until 7:30PM!

DECISION HAS BEEN MADE!!! JUST GOT THE EMAIL!!!!! I'm not telling my husband because I'm trying to surprise him...

CONGRATS!

You. Got. This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TeamTollie and I have been talking (uh oh!), and we have made some very tentative/loose plans, and now we'd like to open it up to the rest of this Blizzard.  We don't know where everybody will be, but from what we do know, we came up with this really rough map:



We would like to propose a meetup at the end of September.  This should give people just getting their decision made emails time to get their visas and get over here and settle in a bit.  Plus, it's my birthday week, so my husband will be off work!

Based on our map, we decided on Bristol for the location, which should give us plenty of options for a venue, and it appears to be fairly accessible and centrally located (for the non-Scottish contingent, at least... please come down if you're interested!) for the Welsh and English contingents.

Summary:

When:  September 29th (or we can consider different dates if this is a problem for someone who really wants to be there)
Where:  Somewhere in Bristol (tbd)
Who:  UKY members, and spouses/families if they want to join in

I’m pretty much doing the same! Except I’m watching Love Island and refreshing UPS. I would look out for the truck but I live in an apartment building and they deliver everything to the mail room I called to have them deliver it to my front door but who knows with them!!

I hope not too!!! I can’t imagine how you felt all day. It’s only 10:50 here and I’m already anxious beyond belief

I love that you've located 'everyone else not in Scotland', south of Wokingham!

Even though I'm still waiting and not yet living in Scotland, I feel a responsibility to say, "whit's wrong wi' scootlund?!"
