Re: Kinda scared tbh ...
thanks for the welcome spouse of scouse
what is worrying me is I am a plumber and have worked as such for 20 years here in Denmark, but as I did my apprenticeship here I'm not sure how to proceed in the Uk.
also my safety net (job seeking Benefits) from Dk are only good for three months so I need to find employment before they expire, then I'm confused where I would stand if I have not managed to find a job
I can stay with a very good friend to get me started so accommodation is not an issue

Welcome to BE, best thing would be to ask the members in the Moving Back to UK section http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=61
sure someone on there has been through the whole transferring skills from one country to another and will be able to guide you

Hi and welcome to the forum
Yes, all moves are scarey but can be exciting too.... new beginnings. I guess look at it that way.
Just another thought, do you actually need to go back to UK. It sounds like you are very much "in the system" in Denmark. Is staying there an option? Maybe a different part of the country? There's a Scandinavia section within the Europe section on here if you want to chat with others in the region.
