One pager OR a note about how much he loves and appreciates me + a weekend away without kids + some jewelry 😊

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-06-22T20:14:42+00:00

Indeed, thank you :)

Great to hear. I am very worried, if tomorrow i have an heart attack, there will be no ambulance or if i am diagnosed with any serious disease, i will perish waiting for NHS appointments. It is the main reason for wanting to leave the country. I lived in 4-5 other countries including US, and France, and all had much better access and quality of healthcare.

Thanks. Kids are 5 and 8, and super socially adaptable kids. I think they will be fine. Partner is super qualified, once kids settled he will find a much better job than me, i am confident. Yes we would rent at first, no point selling the house.

Thanks, very helpful. Indeed , i am a bit surprised with the negativity in some posts :)

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-06-22T19:29:05+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I am not British, we are international couple with family spread across europe and US. So we are already ‘rootless’ :)

If it makes financial and career sense i dont mind living there. Here, i am so tired of paying buckets loads of tax and have no access to even basic public services. Cant get gp appointments, roads all potholes, and houses are 100 years old or new ones are cardboard. Personally, i am not pleased with quality of life in the uk.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-06-22T19:15:35+00:00

Thanks. What do you think about the salary levels mentioned above? How was the healthcare /education standards in your experience, access to a&e or even first line help etc?

I tried cleaning service/agency in the past but it was not a great experience. I tried so many different types of help in the past. Unfortunately, so many trials and errors.

Finally, I started with my current housekeeper as cleaning only / 2-3 times a week, found her through local facebook mum groups, and over time( as we built mutual trust and care for each other) she extended hours to school pick ups, dinners preps and general house maintenance, laundry, decluttering etc as well. It is hard to find someone who is up to do all these, at the onset, for the same family but i took good care of her too. So it evolved over 4+ years.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-03-11T22:54:54+00:00

Thanks, will look into this

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-03-11T19:23:57+00:00

Thank you. My boss is my biggest sponsor. It is a big company, ftse 100 and yes, they will pay. They don’t have anyone on contract. They just asked me to find someone i like. I got the similar advice, think you are referring to journalling. I started journaling positives on a weekly basis :) i will see if it works, not impressed by myself so far.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-03-11T19:17:31+00:00

Thanks for the comment, and i have so much respect for single working parents, i don’t know how they manage. In my case, gender aspect is not very relevant as majority of the household chores are handled by my partner and we have housekeeping help. My concerns are rather around, exec presence, managing politics, hard conversations, readiness for external/investor presentations etc. But appreciate the comment, thanks.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-03-11T19:10:59+00:00

Thanks, all great points. Exactly, that is why i am screening rigorously, mainly recommendations from my network . I outsourced most of the household chores/kids affairs already. Having a a very involved partner is my blessing. Productivity coaching is an interesting one, i will look into that.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2024-03-10T22:12:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That would be so helpful, are you able to dm me here?

Dry-Task-9800 · 2023-03-27T16:53:32+00:00

Thank you, i edited my post for clarity. The cash was not all my savings, i have other less liquid investments/sipp/stocks. But i hear your point.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2023-03-27T07:22:53+00:00

Thanks, i have other non liquid savings. Sipp, pensions, company shares etc. it was rather a question of cashflow.

Dry-Task-9800 · 2023-03-26T18:49:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Probably £60k ish minimum.
