Hello Karen. There's no need to shout even though we are twelve thousand miles away (hee hee...please turn off the Caps Lock on your keyboard. All that capitalisation is the internet equivalent of shouting).

Anyway, life isn't that much different here. It's a workaday world here as well and most struggle to keep up with the bills as well. However, the scenery is awful nice here and a lot of life's joys are free if you are into the outdoor life.

Welcome, and if you need any help with the immigration side of things, crank up that computer and post away on here. Someone will be bound to know the answer to any questions you may have.

Welcome to the forum
As happynz said, still have to pay the bills and get up for work in the mornings
BUT: there is such a sense of satisfaction about being here and having made the choice to move
Happy posting,
Karen

Hi there,

Hope you get through the process with not too much hassle, it can seem very daunting at first. By the way, I love Blackpool..
