Chris,

Things to think about:-

Health Insurance - Compulsary

UK TV - Blue Win Versus Sky - If Sky don't tell sky that you are here. See threads.

Half Tax card for Train - Half price travel in CH, plus discounts on Ski lifts
Good value if you want to explore CH.

TV licence

Internet Phone - Just set up a virtual UK landline in CH here, useful for friends and family, as they dial a UK local number. See thread http://www.englishforum.ch/tv-intern...e-here-ch.html Works well impressed.

Contents insurance for the flat.

Bring a few passport type photographs of yourself with you.
(Expensive here and you never have them when you want them)

Bring some UK extention sockets if you have lots of UK electrical equipment.

A slow cooker is good, decent meals cooking while you are working.

Tea bags, marmite etc
