I never had one specially fitted before the wife arrived, I just happen to have quite a big bathroom and the bidet was installed when the bathroom was originally fitted out many years ago. I must say, it used to be more like an ornament before the wife and step-daughter arrived here, but now it has become indespensible. It appears to be the height of luxury for a Filipina.Originally Posted by pennybarry
Yes Aposhark, hubby said he'll buy for a bidet for mebut I don't know when.
Iain.
I've longed to have a bidet for many years. At last I have one ... it's sitting next to me, still in the cardboard box - hopefully the new house will soon be ready and it will be fitted!
Bidets are fantastic!
Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

yahh....i agree with you......a lot of people in our country from the Philippines think we have such a wonderful lives here in UK.........me as a new here in UK i've been adjusting everything the moods of my husband to be we sometimes have ups and downs......but glad we're coping it to have a great relationship and we have both working it to make work and last.......if i feel stressed or sad just have my walks in the street here to make me feel relax.......we all know here that it will takes time for us to adjust the culture here....especially the accent of thier english language.......a lot of learnings to make to adopt the cultures here.........Mabuhay to all PInay's here.......
Maybe the Filipina wives living in England should consider moving north of the Border, as - with a few exceptions [e.g. the pure Doric] - the dialect up here is, by and large, clearer and much easier to comprehend than the many different regional accents to be found in the south. And possibly one of the main reasons for this is because we tend to speak slower. But then, I'm probably biased ... as well as being a trifle hard of hearing.
Watch out for the "mumblers" though!!!
oh boy! this is what my bf told me... i better get rid of my maid then and get used to doing things on my own (again)... hayyy... and I will definitely bring tabo/kabo with me when I get there.. and walis tingting and walis tambo... LOL...
Watch out for the "mumblers" though!!!
lol... we are from the South West of England... lol and my husband mumbles a lot... it took me quite sometime to get used to it... i was like need to look/read his lips while talking, now I can perfectly understand him (even not looking at him) hahaha... LAZY TALKING as they say..
oh so yes... if you are very comfortable living there in the PI and you have got "friends": driver, maid, yaya, cook, labandera etc... hay dito wala... lol sariling kayod hehehe...
but you will love the independence and you will learn to trust your own skills, be independent and the "Just Me & U" thing with your fiance/husband...
P.S.
But you will miss your loyal "friends" when you are here
I've been here for about 5 months already. i hit the cold weather so its not really nice. I cant go out of the house when my hubby isn't with me coz i'm scared. MY hubby bought a measuring cup(big one) for me to use coz i still can't use loo roll to wipe my bum lol, I use it to wash my other thing too
.At the moment i'm still adjusting to everything.
We are not rich too, but i didn't have problem with it coz i am not materialistic. i am happy with what i've got which is an amazing and loving hubby and a sweet little boy
Mark, Cristina & Raffy
LMAO
Its a serious subject, but it did make me laugh.
Any upheaval is always difficult, but moving 1/2 way around the world is going to be pretty tough for anyone. My gf moved from Phils to Israel and she said one of the strange things was that (outsiide of the filipino community) no one knew each other. People dont knw their next door neighbours, let alone who lives down the street. We're just not quite as social in many ways.
Personally I think that links with the weather - we spend less time outside so we're isolated in our own little houses and dont get to interact with those around us. Shame really.
its juz a matter of adjustments,be flexible wherever you go
Yep but easy to say than done...
You will be "taken" away from your comfort zone (our good PI)
Sitting next to it, ain't gonna do any good...
Our bidet is right next to the toilet, so sitting next to it always does me a power of good.Sitting next to it, ain't gonna do any good...
as the saying goes "Theres no place like home"its been a struggle for me in adjusting here until now.
It's the weather that i can't cope as i can't keep the heater on 24/7 as the bill we go rocket high
No relatives,friends and family
Too expensive:
and loads of tax
but at the end of the day you're here for one lovely reason and that is to be with the person who you promise to live with for the rest of your life(your british husband)
Filipina a born survivor!
These post makes me apprehensive in coming to UK girls... we got our own comfort zones and its hard to simply get out of it.. is there a positive from these pains? what it is to gain?
There's free healthcare and no earthquakes and no typhoons and no mosquitoes and ....... well there must be other things ...... if only I could think of some.
Iain.
it depends, what are ur reasons in coming here in the UK?
most of us comes here in the UK to be together with our family and loved ones, some to study, some to visit..
whatever choices and decisions we made there is always sacrifices that comes with it..
Goodluck with ur visa application..
Aww how nice being together with loved ones. Nothing to do with simple economics then.
am still here sa pinas.i will buy bidet later.i dont want to experience itchy ass.thanks for the info guys.
What is it to gain? Simple, YOU GET TO BE WITH THE MAN YOU LOVE. There's no better gain than that
No WowoweeThere's free healthcare and no earthquakes and no typhoons and no mosquitoes and ....... well there must be other things ...... if only I could think of some.
Iain.
one member here say its not free,she said we pay it by tax,well...cant argue to her as she have 2 babies in here now
What is it to gain? Simple, YOU GET TO BE WITH THE MAN YOU LOVE. There's no better gain than that
Spot on SOPHIE!!!

Re: Filipina's adjusting
Hi all,
Can I ask about bed covering most Filipina's need when they come to the UK.
I want to buy a new bed before my wife arrives, and was wondering what thickness the duvet should be?
Do most prefer a thick one in the UKs colder weather?
I realise not all would like the thicker one but am just trying to get a suitable one.
Thanks,
Mick.
I guess that electric under- or over- blanket would be the best and maybe thinner blanket then Mick....Hi all,
