[@Katiesfloridalife]

Thank you ❤️ I really feel like I’ve settled in quickly. I miss it already and only been in the UK a few days x

[@Tammy_meka]

Have fun 🤩 at home back in the UK Katie …. Enjoy your time being with your family . Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you xx

I've been loving your vlogs. Especially as I am a Brit living in the USA. We are in South Carolina. You seem to have settled really well which is great. I must say we have found the transition pretty tough . Hope you have a great time back home.

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Oh no I hope you manage to settle in the future, how long have you lived there? I think it’s because I’m used to living abroad so that has helped me a lot x

[@k_a_t_h_r_y_n_dx1140]

@@Katiesfloridalife . I'm sure you are right about it being easier having already lived abroad. We've been here 2 years this month. We are going home for good next month after our Disney trip. We had to complete our eldest daughter's senior year . Our 12 year old should slot back in quite easily.

The blinds and curtains look really lovely.

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Thank you, I’m pleased with them x

Another great vlog, really enjoying them thank you ❤ I recommended to my parents who have a place in Haines City (but live in Stockton) and they're loving them too, we managed to watch this week's together as I've been up visiting them. Enjoy your trip home, already looking forward to next week 😊 x

[@susanorford7689]

Thanks for another vlog... really envy you guys ... in a nice way . Wish it was me living florid life. Saying that ... to be kept awake by thunder storm ALL NIGHT ... Didn't realise you still have your uk home ❤, thought you would of sold it , it's ALWAYS nice to come home, wouldn't miss UK weather thoe,it's shocking here atm 😢 Blinds look ace but ... yup agree long wait when you have paid that price,glad to see there up now . Xxx ❤🎉❤🎉

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Thanks for watching again. Yes we’ve always kept it as a holiday home but I think it’s time we just rent it out as we won’t come home as much now we live in Florida. I’m glad you agree it was a long wait for blinds and it’s not just me being unreasonable 😂 xx

[@gilscot100]

Yay. You made it home. Lovely seeing all the greenery out of the train windows. I have lived away from home (Scotland) for almost 30 years and it always makes we emotional when the plane touches down…. and when I get my first cup of tea 😄. When we first moved here ready made curtains (drapes) were not available. I finally found a small selection at JCPenney. Everything was made to measure and of course $$$$$. I would say 3-6 weeks is more reasonable for made to measure blinds but really since Covid things just take longer. I have friends who get their contacts from Costco. I get spare pairs of glasses from Costco - take in my prescription and they are ready in a week. Have a wonderful time in England.

[@Katiesfloridalife]

I’ve always appreciated the greenery in England since living in Qatar as the place is so dead and beige 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yes I think 3-6 weeks is a more reasonable time frame too, but never mind they’re done now!! I haven’t been in a Costco yet so I’ll maybe check out when I get back, it’s my own fault for leaving it late all the time 😂 thanks for watching xx

[@codekat6515]

I've really been enjoying your vlogs! I love the updates each week on the progress after you moved in. So glad you got your blinds installed before your trip. I would love to have new blinds but unfortunately I rent my home.

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Ah that’s a shame can you not persuade your landlord to replace them? 🤨 it is an expensive job but makes the room look much nicer. Thank you for watching xx

[@ultanwoods]

Another great Vlog ❤

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Thank you for watching xx

[@lovegoodmusic10]

Aww. My nephew and I were at Epcot on the 10th as well. We had a long wait for our Guardians ride. We are back in the UK now. Miss Orlando so much. We have been going to Orlando since the 90's as we have family there. Would love to move, but I know it's not easy. For now, I have to be content with once or twice a year visit lol. Love watching your vlogs. I love that they are almost real time! Enjoy your UK visit. Take care

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Aw were you, shame you didn’t bump into me but we did only stay a few hours. Next time maybe. Thank you for watching xx

[@Sarahsparkles83]

Great vlog 😊

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Thank you xx

[@elaineroom6358]

Oh I really miss the shopping over there, love Target and B&BW., bought some hand wash in Next a couple of weeks ago, almost £10 ! The blinds look great and I love your Friends tee shirt.

[@Katiesfloridalife]

The shopping is so much better isn’t it! B&BW in England is stupid prices I wouldn’t pay it. Friends is my fave tv show ever… watched series 7 on the plane for the millionth time 😂 thanks for watching x

[@Chrissyhappy]

Blinds….I rang Monday morning. They came Monday 5pm and measured up. Fitted them Wednesday. That was my whole house 😂.UK .

[@Chrissyhappy]

Maxine picked up bedding in the UK as she said USA so expensive😂👍

[@jmillertime]

Hi Katie, what type of camera are you using for your vlogs. Enjoy your videos, living in Michigan hoping to move to FL some day.

[@Katiesfloridalife]

Hi. I’m using a DJI pocket 2, it’s really easy to use and lightweight. Hope you get to move to FL. Thanks for watching xx

[@julesvlogs2222]

Having lived here almost 20 years, 9 weeks is too long to wait for blinds. I would have been annoyed with that too. lol. I’ve definitely adapted to the American way of not wanting to wait and making it known when I don’t like something (or maybe that’s a getting older thing?)

[@Katiesfloridalife]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that!! But yeh sometimes I do think I’m just getting to be an old whinging woman 😂
