International move ✅

Ever plan something but when it actually happens you freak out?

I’ve been planning and looking forward to moving from the US back home to the UK for a long time. But when it really happened, I was kind of in disbelief. Sitting in my empty house having packed everything, and thinking… omfg, this is IT! I’m never going to live here again!

It all happened so fast and before I knew it, I was in my new house with almost no furniture and so. much. decorating to do. Me and my kiddo slept on a mattress on the floor until our new beds arrived, and ate our meals on a picnic blanket in the middle of the empty living room. Those empty house days are some of the best memories we’ve created in recent times. We needed a fresh start, and that felt like exactly how I imagine the beginning of a new chapter.

I still can’t believe we actually did it, and a few months earlier than I’d planned. The different school calendars mean my kid has finished school in the US only to start here in the UK with 6 weeks left until summer, but she doesn’t mind one bit!

So goodbye Florida… hello Cornwall. Here’s to our new home 🏡

Congrats on moving! You obviously didn't care about the struggle that moving countries and houses brings bcz you r longing to feel at home.

Yes, i wanted to work in a pub so bad. Few months ago on a Saturday i called a pub recruiting waiters and they asked me to come the same day. I only worked there for that night and quit 😂 The owner was a shitty crazy alcoholic and i can't stand that.
I decided that i don't want to work and I'll be focusing on my studies. It's okk i can still afford to eat and i don't need to work my ass off for something that won't even help me buy a house for example. Not worth it.
I was so relaxed that i didn't go on Sunday.
Days off r the best😝😝😝😝😝😂😂😂

@Hassan Lol, the reality of it was not what you expected 😂 I agree, days off are the best. Hope you’ve enjoyed all of the days off since then 😝 I put myself on maternity leave and I can tell you, some of the days off were the stuff of dreams. Highly recommend 😅
