Hi Amanda,
Thanks for the reply.
My OH and I have done alot of talking over the weekend, and alot of pricing for us to come over, and we have come to the conclusion that is will be really expensive, and not sure if 3 weeks would have been enough!! If money was not an issue at this stage then we would definately want to come over, but with all the outlays in trying to get our visa, and the difficulties we have had along the way we can not make the sums work out. Also with everything that has been going on, we have been going through this journey as a family, and I felt bad leaving the girls behind, and there was no way we could have afforded to take them too, so we have decided to go on a well earned family holiday instead so we can spend valuable time with the girls, and it is ALOT cheaper!!!
Thanks again for taking the time to reply, and if you do not mind, I would be interested in what you have to say about where you are, as you can imagine I hope, that not being able to afford to come over and have a look, we are really just going by word of mouth, and what people kindly tell us on this site.
We are a family of four, our daughter's are 8 and 4, so would be looking for good school, and a place that was good for families. We are not wishing to live in the middle of nowhere, ideally we would love to be in a small community type place where the girls can go out and play with other kids, something like a cul-de-sac estate if possible, as here in Scotland we live on the main road and have no front garden, so the girls are stuck in our back garden all the time and we have to watch what they do out the front when going out the front door. OH is a carpenter/joiner so would need to find him work also.
Look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.
Take care, and thanks.
Andi.
