Hi all,was at work today feeling very confused about this whole Oz thing.I lived there for 30 years,and feel torn in two.I love living here but my PR visa expires in 2010,and if I don't return by then,I'll have no choice (maybe thats better right?It would save the torture I put myself through everyday)No easy answer in my case,my kids (grown up now)love living in the UK,so if I go to Oz???Then again I could stay here,lose my PR,my kids change their minds and I am stuck here alone?I am slowly going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I must admit, I am having ups and downs about this whole thing at the moment, not sure if it all the waiting for the next stage etc or what, I know I really want to go we have been talking about doing this for the last 6 years, but the more I think about taking my girls out of school I wonder if I am really doing the right thing by them. But then again, I don't want to be looking back in 30 years or so, not given it a try and sitting in my rocking chair saying "what if".
So I suppose they only way I will know is to give it a try, there is always a flight back if it does not work out, but would like to give it my best shot and be able to say "I done it".

I have an excited 'Australia' week followed by a bad move 'England' week!
Sometimes I worry that we will get sick of the heat after a while. Then I worry that I won't make any friends and people won't get my sense of humor. Then I worry that we will end up having **** jobs and never see each other. I worry my kids won't make friends. I worry that we'll get bitten by a snake or spider. I worry about missing home (because England will always be 'a' home to me).
But then I worry that I won't be granted a visa. And that freaks me out more than anything!!!!!
It's a toughy!

I have doubts too. But I know 100% I will have regrets if I don't go. Rather have doubts then regrets.......
Anyway, I truly believe England has gone to the dogs, the thought of retiring here in 30 years time sends shivers down my spine. It's over crowded, every bit of available grass land is being built upon, and it only pay's to live here if you are well off or on benefits.
If I don't like Australia (which I know I will) I would rather move to another part of the world then come back here.
