Re: Ahhhhh memories for those 40+

Thanks for this FFF. I've just spent 30 minutes surfing youtube for all the other clips they listed on the page (two little boys, etc). So much fun.

Re: Has anyone us BA World Cargo to tranport their pet back to the UK from the USA?

Used Virgin to fly my two cats from Dulles to London. No problems and great service - would definitely use them again.

Re: Rental market UK (esp with animals)

Something to be aware of when you're looking . . . many places you see online will say no pets but are actually more flexible than they make out, especially if you're looking for unfurnished, so it's...

Re: Hello you lot!

So glad you're feeling good about being home - and that it's worked out for your family as well. I've been back over a year now - and with the exception of not having my OH over here - it's been...

Re: Flying pet back to UK.

Just to let you know, since you're only coming from Canada, you may just be able to do the pet transport piece yourself and not use a company. The companies are very expensive, and taking care of...

Re: Want to move back to UK from USA

According to what we've been told, when you leave the US without moving to another state, the state in which you've been residing then continues to tax your income until the day you die. So we've...

Re: Got a job

I'm wishing you luck for your plans. It took me over 20 years to get back, so I understand what you're going through. It's hard to think of giving up the security for something unknown. Coming...

Re: Got a job

Gosh, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to do that.

Thanks to both you and Mrs. Best for suggestions. I'm writing them all down. This is going to be the quickest move ever. I've only got three weeks to...

Re: Got a job

Thanks very much for this. I keep hearing about Camberley so will definitely be looking up there as well. Since we do want to buy next year, I'm going to try and keep my rental costs as low as...

Re: Got a job

Thanks. It has been a long haul (not quite as long as yours, I know), but hopefully it will all be worth it. The job has a six months probation period, so I know it will be at least that long before...

Re: Got a job

Quite a bit bigger now, and that's for sure. It's a bit of a concrete jungle, so I'm definitely planning to live outside, hopefully somewhere quite rural. The job comes with a car allowance, so I'm...

Re: Got a job

Thanks so much. I just feel as though the last year of being on my own, away from OH, etc., is finally starting to be worth it - it's lovely when a plan comes together. After 20 years of scheming to...

Re: Want to move back to UK from USA

I'm not worried about the federal taxes, as I know that we need to pay those for ever and ever. What we're wondering about is state tax, which can add considerably to your total bill. We're in...

Thanks for all the replies to this. I'm definitely going to do some more digging on this and figure out the best thing for OH and I to do. I think he's just going to stay with his US Soc Sec., as...

Re: Question about HSBC Bank

I'm curious about the currency transfer companies. Have you used them before? If so, are there things to look out for? How do you pick the right one, etc? Are there hidden costs we should be aware...

Re: Help with locating UK National Insurance Numbers please

Question on this, how does the social security agreement between countries work in terms of the prorating? I thought (and I could well be wrong), that if there is an agreement in place between the UK...

In response to this question, yes. I took out a Federal Stafford loan to pay for grad school in the UK. With no credit in the UK and good credit in the US, it seemed the best way to go. It wasn't...
