With Laura having been here last week she was a great source of motivation for me. I mentioned previously how I had gotten my room in order, well I also got some more important things squared away as well. I had made a list of things that I needed to do and needed to get and the only thing left on that list is a laundry bag or basket. The 2 most important things on that list were 1. open a bank account and 2. get a UK cell mobile phone and I did just that. Right now the phone I have as my mobile is a temporary phone that is a pay as you go plan but once I get my bank card in the mail I can go back and have my number transferred over to a contract plan. Im a little lost without my iPhone right now though. I haven't been able to unlock it to be able to use it over here yet, but I have been told by my friend Jay that the government just made unlocking legal so I should be able to have that all taken care of...I hope sooner rather than later. If I can't unlock my phone I need to figure out what type of phone to get...do I get a Blackberry again? Do I get some fancy new thing they have over here? Oh the possibilities!
That being said, I am feeling like I am getting quite a bit accomplished already. Now onto the job...

Hi Jeannie!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're getting settled in and feeling at home! I wish I could come and play! Sooo jealous! And I've been dying to get to the Globe this season, it looks amazing! Let me know how Anne Boleyn is!
MB and I are planning to visit London next summer. We'd love to see ya! Have a great birthday and good luck job hunting.
Not sure what you're looking for, but we have a friend, Linda Hinsa who works for State Street. She isn't in the banking end, but manages the setting up of office spaces. She transfered to London a few years ago and lives in Greenwich. I just lost my contacts (thanks yahoo) but I can get her email for you if you're interested.
Take care-
Letitia
Hey Jeannie!
ReplyDeleteHow was living in the UK? Right now, I have plans of migrating to another country and get a better job. But I'm afraid that I may not be able to use my phone! LOL! No but seriously, you did a great job on your 'starting again process.' Best of luck!
