Hey, Quiet Out There!
So yesterday, on my way into the office there was a large chuck of Leicester Square blocked off by barricade and a large crane was behind it hanging a sign on the front of the Empire building. Now I guess I should tell you a bit about Leicester Square so you understand what I am talking…

Oh I, I will survive…
Please allow me to introduce you to my new friend, Gina! Â Since my sister couldn’t come with me to London, she sent a sista, aka Gina McSasspants, to look after me. Â I hope you are all looking forward to the upcoming “Dang, Gina!” moments. Now, as you may already know, the FedEx outpost in…

The Huddlestons Have Landed
So after thirteen hours of travel, Jen and I finally made it to the flat. We think we got pretty lucky with TM putting us in the same location as our previous visit because this time we will already be a little familiar with the locale. We had a little issue with shipping a few…

Sleep. Not so much.
This simple girl is having a hard time dealing with the weight of liquidating a household full of stuff. Â Drew is much cooler. Â We are running on fumes, though, and there isn’t any gas in the cars either. I must apologize for the delay in the release of precious details since our last post; I…

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program…
Thanks to our collective faith, positive attitude, and willful visualization of that “SOLD” sign, there will soon be a “SOLD” sign in our yard! What an amazing feeling–if I weren’t so excited, I might be scared out of my shoes. Everyone breathe a sigh of relief and get some good sleep tonight. There will be…

The Epic Tale Continues…
So this week my work permit arrived from the UK office. One would like to think that was the end of, what has become, the epic process of entering the UK, but one would be wrong. Apparently, while I can now legally work in the UK, I still have to be approved to ENTER the…

The Roller Coaster
Updates- We now expect to board a plane for London on October 4th. We are being fingerprinted on Friday, 29 August. We send our paperwork to be processed to Chicago as soon as our fingerprints (and other biometrics) are on file. We have shown our house to the same buyer twice–and she likes the snacks.…
