Hi, yes we have thought about that - why give up a perfectly decent lift here. when i say decent, as i mentioned before we have jobs and a secure income but in regards to friends, that was slightly exagerated, more like aquaintencses and also, with the prices of homes in decent areas, it will prob take us year to be able to save up for the deposit! we are considering going home to the UK when my daughter will be 3 so that gives us a bit of time to see if the UK works out but if not, come back to Aus and my daughter would be young enough not to be too affected by the move. decisions decision! help !!!
