Thanks Joetrac!!
I would appreciate you sending me some companys re removals. I wonder why it is so much more for certain things here, ie flights to Uk, removals etc. I didnt realise just how expensive it can be here, even though i thoroughly did my homework on the place. The biggest expense i think is housing!! We originally thought comi g here we could get a smallish mortgage and a big house!! Couldnt believe it when we looked into buying (just for curiosity) we would be ending up with a 30 year mortgage with an interest rate of 8.99% and still paying more than we were in the Uk. That was quite a shock!! Living where we are at the minute is also quite expensive as it is supposed to be an up and coming place!!! If we did end up staying i would not put my kids through moving again so would end up paying the prices here!
Dont know wether i am coming or going
