to ask has your life changed since brexit ?

[mrsfuzzy]

seems months ago since it all kicked off but only a few weeks in reality, wider society aside, has brexit changed your life a/ perhaps you've moved/in process of, changed work etc. for us nothing has changed but i'm interested in other mners [don't want to cause a punch up over the remains and leaves - that's been, gone and tired].

Yes, not as bad as the poster in Norway, but I paid my recently deceased aunt's solicitor's bill (she lived in the U.S.) and lost £300 when sterling tanked.

cinnamon 'bun' fight reference - my faves ! [has lost point of thread] .

No change at all. It is too early to make a judgement on things like this.

mad but posters here are seeing different things happening that's what i was getting at, as i said before worded title slightly wrong.

Some of my colleagues, with work visas and hopes to apply to stay, are worried about losing their jobs and homes and racism towards their DCs. It is a time of limbo.

Yes, I know three people who have lost their jobs as a direct result. They work for an International College. The parents/overseas schools prefer to send their teens to a country perceived as less racist/xenophobic, and the number of contracts that have been pulled has led to redundancies already.

Yes, my holiday cost more due to the pound crashing against the Euro.

Also friends and acquaintances are experiencing racism more often. As someone said upthread it's made me more politically active.

And it also makes me feel worried that the country is so divided and that problems which I put down to Conservatism others put down to the EU. That was a real surprise.

Mainly Eu funded trips to mainland Europe for children in our very disadvantaged secondary school will no longer happen......they were a real window on the world for children who, if they had any experience of the world at all it was a package holiday to Spain.

Migrant here (Polish/S.African), with migrant husband (Russian). My salary is paid in part in US$, so I've had a pay rise. I have started to apply for indefinite leave to remain so that I can have a British passport if I need one. DP is a bit ahead of me and will take citizenship in August.

He's been offered a few jobs elsewhere but former bosses in Europe and the States (he's a very experienced software developer). We've cooled down on the house-hunting, as even though prices seem to be dipping a bit we're not sure we'll be here long enough to justify a "family home".

I'm also shouting at the TV a lot more .

My husband is on a key worker contract. He had gone from having more hours than were doable to being sent home from work after an hour because there was nothing for him to do.
Some big contracts have been massively reduced because company cars are not a necessity and they are tightening their belts due to uncertainty.
This started a week after the vote. We may not have left yet but it is already having an impact.

Yes, things have changed - DH and I have had to shelve our plans of moving up North from London, as no-one is buying at the moment due to uncertainty in the housing market caused by the vote.

It's very annoying, DC1 is due in March and we wanted to have moved before then. Ho hum.

Not much of an impact yet.

Obviously we spent more on holiday last week thanks to the poorer exchange rates. Fortunately for us, we'd already paid for our accommodation and board before the pound crashed, so not a major issue.

My employer is very worried about the likely impact of Brexit, and I definitely have less job security as a result. Even if my own job is ok, it seems increasingly likely that I will have to cut staff within my team, and that makes me anxious and sad.

My DH (non-EU immigrant) feels much less welcome in this country than before and we are both shocked at how much racism and xenophobia there is, lurking just beneath the surface. Shocked too by some of the voting decisions of people we thought we knew. I guess I will now trust people a little less than I did before.

I'm not being paid this month .... Small business with two key markets. One is directly impacted btpy the current currency issues so is over cautious about investing in our services. The other relates to having a growth market in Germany. I may lose my job if things stay thus slow as it is I am lucky I can afford to delay being paid.

Ive found out several friends who voted to leave have very bitter regrets.
I've found out at least one person who voted leave has no actual idea what they were voting for.
I've found out everyone I know who voted to leave,to a person, are all complaining about the increased cost to their holidays.

Oh and the value of some of my investments have nosedived. I don't have much so cannot afford for that to happen.

Of course there are impacts already, our bank funding has been pulled, so I need to try and find another funder which is bound to be more expensive. No one else at work is aware, but jobs are now at risk.

Yes, I've been directly affected. I'm a Brit living in the eurozone, I'm paid in sterling and all my outgoings are in euros. Thanks to the pound tanking after the vote, I've suffered an effective 17% increase in the cost of living since this time last year. I was mid way through a house renovation which is now on hold because I have 17% less money to do it than I thought I did.

My husband runs a small business in the building trade. Just before the vote I found out I was pregnant unexpectedly with our fourth child. Now his business, which had been doing brilliantly for three years, has been virtually destroyed overnight and we have no clue how we're going to fund this fourth child through my mat leave. I'll probably have to go back to work after six weeks which is going to make breastfeeding impossible and make me feel like the world's worst mother.

My Indian by heritage, born in UK to UK born parents nephews have experienced more obvious racism ie: shouting in the street etc in that last few weeks than in their previous 16 years.

Me as a actual immigrant and an economical one at that, haven't had any of that. But then I am white……

nothing huge yet.
Holiday money.
Frosty relationship with mother and a leaver friend.
A general sense of gloom and despondency.

a lot of knee jerk 'worlds gonna end' responses initially

There were also a of of "world's gonna end" kneejerk responses on the Leave side too, but some some reason only Leave was called "Project Fear". Remember all that rhetoric about how millions of people from Turkey were just going to move here? How is that not Project Fear?

As for me, definitely seen more xenophobia around (not directed at me) and one of my colleagues, from Norway, who travels a lot on business is never sure if she'll be let back in the country. She's also desperate to become a British citizen now (which costs thousands) as otherwise she may lose her job.

Sorry, correction - only REMAIN was called "Project Fear"

Two friends of mine are now suffering uncertainty in their jobs. One in university science research- predominantly EU funded and the whole department is in question now.
The other works in a consultancy/research role with a lot of EU clients and contracts are drying up.
Personally my vacation is more expensive now due to the weakened pound.

So those stating no impacts yet as it hasn't happened are perhaps just fortunate enough to not have been faced with any impact. The impacts are being felt currently and are very real.

opening responses on here were a bit dismissive but there are changes happening and not all for good either. it's worrying for a lot of people esp. those who have moved here from e.u.

Absolutely nothing has changed.

We are benefiting from it as husband is paid in euros so we are about £300 a month better off. We aren't sure how it will all work out though and if he can still carry on working there. Also my job is in a uni and depends on grants funded by the EU. So not sure what will happen when my current contract runs out.
I still voted remain though as I thought that was best for the country.
