Wow, what is your degree in? Florida is quite different to Essex I bet! Do you miss it at all? The degree is BA in Anthropology, specializing in archaeology. Back in England I was in college for a short while, majoring in archaeology, it was under the department of history. Here archaeology is unde...

Hello everyone, I came to see how you're all doing after receiving Louise's message, too. Don't know if anyone remembers me, it's been a while. I'm still in Florida, but now in north Florida, Jacksonville. So, definitely not an Essex mum now ... although my son was born in Essex so I'll always remai...

Hello again, we're still in Florida. The hurricane season starts today. I'm wishing there was an active mums community over here like there is in Essex.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Cody! Glad all is well! You sound happy with your house and things! Congratulations on managing 3 months with the in-laws! I can only just managed a day! LOL! What is the school system like over there? o you need to get Cody in somewhere yet? We still have a long time b...

Hi all, how is everyone? It's been a while! We finally have our own home in Florida, staying with the in-laws for nearly 3 months was too stressful, I hope we never have to do it again. Got a nice little house with a back yard and a mango tree, the weather is beautiful and Cody gets to play outside ...

Going great, thanks I'll make a separate post so I don't hijack this thread.

Happy Birthday, Essex Mums, and hope you have a great party! I won't be there, we're still on the other side of the ocean.

How are you settling? I was just about to reply to Shany saying I didn't think you were local anymore! How is Cody doing in a new place? It's hard to get used to the climate, a bit of a shock going from really cold winter to what would be hot summer in England. I have to keep in mind that it's wint...

Hello from across the pond. Just wanted to say that I'm not an Essex mum anymore. Lovely hot weather here! *ducks*

Sorry but I'm in the USA already!

weezypops wrote:Wow, are you more excited or nervous?

For some reason I'm not nervous at all, I'm mostly frustrated because so little time and so much to do, I still have to get rid of a lot of things and I feel like taking them outside and building a big fire.

Evening! I had a crazy day, had to leave house just after 5 am to get to the US embassy in London by 7:30, we were late anyway, got in at 8, had to wait around 2.5 hours total. We saw Jamie Oliver! He totally flirted with the security lady and jumped the queue :shock: While there, Cody was running a...

Good luck, Louise, hope it's all sorted soon one way or another.

I had doubts at one point too but I read up all about it and decided that it was safe, so Cody had all vaccinations and didn't have any trouble with them, now it sounds like he'll need another one once we're in the US, they vaccinate against chicken pox over there and it's not available in the UK. B...
