Does anyone find themselves drifting off and finding themselves in tears over thoughts of what we about to do or are doing? I just found myself looking out the window at the planes overhead and thinking 'I'll be on one of those soon' and then bang my eyes have leaked again. I am stunned daily by the fact that not a day has gone by, and it has been just over a year now, since we returned from Melbourne, when I do not have atl east one thought about Oz such is the power of the place. It must have been something they put in the wine!
If this is what the mood swings are like during the menopause, I'm want my prescription for HRT now!

Hi Gail, OH and I went out to visit my sister and celebrate her marriage last year. When we came back we both started looking into migrating without telling eachother. I think it was about six weeks alter we both said are you thinking what I'm thinking and the answer was yes! (How spookey was that?)
I blame my sister totally, as if we hadn't of gone to Melbourne we wouldn't be going through this trauma!!!

Hi Mother of 2....
Dont think your the only one , I think it gets us all like that!

My eyes leaked this morning too, as I watched & cheered the half marathon runners go past my door, as they do every March and thought this would probably be the last time I would be doing this. Its the silly little things that get me.....

So Look out Oz coz it sounds like there will be loads of menopausal women heading their way.......
p.s. Best not to mention our emotional state when we have our meds, eh!!????

i've definitely got 'leaky-eye-syndrome'! And it can only get worse as the months slip by towards actually leaving

It goes without saying that I'm going to be heartbroken leaving my family and close friends and then I suddenly think about how I'm going to have to say goodbye to the kids in my class who I've known for 3 years and the two little boys I've childminded for the past 7 years - which will be like saying goodbye to two of my own children - and I find myself totally choked up:redface:

It wont be easy, that's for damn sure *sigh*

My eyes are leaky today and my nose then gets leaky too..not nice!

The thing is,you all sound SO sure of it all.
I feel like a silly moo who can't make the right decision.Is it wrong to decide to go without dreaming of it for ages first?Cos that's what we're doing..just saw the possibilities and WHAM..!..had sent skills assessment off.

I know we can hold back on the visa & give ourselves more thinking time.
I know only we can decide,but I am worried about going and worried about not going.
Is this country really going to the dogs?
Will taking ourselves away from loving family be detremental on our girls or will a better lifestyle make up for it?

As I write this I think..DON'T POST IT ..you sound like a right dozy mare who can't decide for herself.
Well,maybe I am,
...........just needed to say it,that's all....& thanks for listening.
