Lightbulb stay or go?

hi.
just wanted to know if anyone else has had second thoughts about going to Aus?
We seemed to to be all for it untill xmas and now not sure. Hope it is just a stage we are going through because deep down we do want to go.
Cant stop thinking about the pros and cons of going. Australia wins
every time.
thanks jane

Hi

Try reading out story!! haha...we are on our way back....but I would say GO!! Try it, we did and it's not for us, but I don't regret one minute of the experience...even the horrible bit about trying to decide whether to come back home or not.

There are many great things about the place, and even if it doesn't work for you on a permanent basis, you will gain worthwhile experience.

We are coming home in 15 days..and counting..hehehe..but I would do it all again given the same set of circumstances.

What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger so they say...well it didn't kill us, so we must be world strongest family..hehehe..pass the atlas stones please!!

Good luck with the decision, whatever you decide I hope it works out well for you.

Nicky.x

What makes you think about going back? I am really interested to know as I am the complete opposite and settled almost immediatly. I have been here three years now!

Hi Deb

I just wondered what your reasons were for coming in the first place? I am the last person to give advice on staying or going really...look at me, no room to talk whatsoever..hehe...but I just wondered if they are still the same?

I know that when we were trying to make our decision about staying or going, we sat down and wrote lists of for and against for both countries and both lifestyles etc. It helps to get things clear in your mind, as mine was a complete mess...actually not much has changed..hehehe..just kidding!!

I also think it's vital that you and your oh talk about all this, even the not so nice bits. From our experience, i even had one member of my family telling me I was a coward, and that I was lucky Brendan didn't keep the boys and tell me to go back on my own if that's what I wanted. Of course I thanked him for his kind words..hehe...c'est la vie..luckily it's my life and not his..phew!

It will come to you eventually, until then it's a killer, but once it does, and the decision is made one way or another, you will feel better and the pressure will be off a bit.

If there's anything at all, that you think I can help with, please let me know. I've had enormous support on here, and I'm more than willing to help if I can.

My thoughts are with you, good luck with the decision.

Nicky.x
