Thanks for the replies guys, it's nice to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. Hopefully we can settle in quickly and start as we mean to go on. I'm hoping there is a small Filipino community within the Nottingham/East Midlands area.

Give us a shout, we are in the East Mids also. Same age too. Ok, it may say 55 on my passport, but I feel 30 every day.
