Kinda overwhelmed by this company tbh. I worked for them in the UK six years ago but just had a call from my bosses boss literally to check I was ok, ask how I felt about the move, tell me how excited they all are that I’m here and whether there’s anything else they can do, do I need anymore help with Boggle etc etc.

The level of warmth and how sincere it feels is unreal, I’ve never felt so valued by a company in my life!

I am so pleased you are getting a lovely reception from your work - it will make it so much easier to get off the ground iykwim! Once you are reunited with Boggle, the fun can really start too! :) Good luck Boggle overland now. :) :)

Thanks! It makes moving across the pond so much easier. And I guess for them it was a big investment (more than Boggles transport) re visa but it’s nice to feel like they genuinely care. Even things like the temporary healthcare issue, I had a call from the HR director to say should any be required the company would pay the bill and not to worry (whilst they sorted it, which took a day or two).

Of course if I don’t hit my sales number it could all change ? but incredibly impressed so far.

Eeeeek please set Bog free into the USA this morning quarantine people.

Oh and kinda funny, he’s laying over in Las Vegas. He’s going to have travelled to cooler USA places than me already ?

So glad the company is treating you so well

Me too! I feel like I got here and America has put an arm around my shoulders! Also struck gold renting an air b and b space from a colleague who I immediately clicked with so I'm essentially sharing a house with two great people, but have my own space. Definitely going to wait until spring before I sign my life away on a proper house rental as this is perfect.

Having so much drama paying the shipper though, paypal hasn't cleared the funds and nothing is instant, argh! More stress!

Your shipper let's you pay via PayPal? I'm jealous ?

I've been doing wire and/or bank transfers. Wanted to put one on the credit card (to pay off right away) for some major rewards, but not for a 3% fee!

I'm also so jealous of your location. Colorado is toward the top of our list for our next move (we might actually have more of a choice this time!) and we've been eyeing the Denver area for quite awhile, so I'll definitely be paying attention and asking some questions. Just have to suffer through 2 years or so here first.

Boggle will be on his way to you soon!

He didn't know his swift number or IBAN to do bank transfer... I tried to pay by card but that wouldn't work either. It's been a nightmare tbh. I am on the phone to the bank shortly to see if they can let me withdraw more cash per day.

Yay! Well I'm loving it so far for sure! We can both become hunter jumpers... ha ha ha..

Apparently the ski season will open soon but my skis and ski clothes are all in Switzerland, so I'm going to need to invest a fair whack in some new stuff which is annoying. I am haemorrhaging cash at the moment but it's ok because this still doesn't feel like real life, lol.

Same re the cash.


Americans don't have IBAN, but you might be able to wire transfer? Usually it's just an account number and routing number that they have. Your bank should be able to sort it out, I hope!

Yeah although even expedited with the £15 fee my bank says it can take 24 hours! I have currently got half the money hanging in the air with paypal so if I can up the limit on cash withdrawel I can sort the other half hopefully

I thought a swift number was still needed re wire?

That's really brilliant. I guess some things just fall right - imo it couldn't happen to a cooler person. Current company has a supplier in Chandler, AZ and the small amount of dealings I've had with them have always been great, I just love how unreserved and warm they were to deal with (plus I find being called m'am kind of endearing)

Transport sounds like a frickin nightmare (for you and CC!). But suppose you needed something to balance out positive

A week on and Bear is still standing at the gate looking sad when he's turned out :( How long until horses get over that kind of thing? Can't believe it, Bog didn't even notice when Bear went away last summer.

I think this is what I’m loving most about Colorado views. The colours of autumn are so intense and deep it’s utterly magical! This is a park just next to where I’m living.

Making me miss my dog though ?

Those are stunning pictures, the kind you get from a pro photographer. Hope you will be with your boy as soon as possible

Oh this is too much. ? It took Peggy Sue maybe 3-4 days to accept Flo passing but she’s always been quite independent. Is he turned out with anyone else?

I’m so glad your enjoying Colorado so far. C’mon Bog, we just need you to arrive now!
