Thanks quoll That's a great positive reply! Just what I needed I see your in Cambridge, I'm from lowestoft.

Hi everyone, we have been living in oz for 5 years now & have decided to move back to uk, mainly because of my oh homesickness. My mum lives here too & has been diffult for me tell her that we are leaving with my 2 small children. She has been telling every negative thing possible about moving home, I know it's because she doesn't want me to go. Now that we can go back I'm getting cold feet, not sure if I'm ready to move back & if it's the right decision as my children are settled here now & I have made lots of new friends. I was thinking of coming home for 12 months to see how I feel. Has anyone tried that? My oh is so excited to go & I haven't said anything yet as I know how much he wants to go home! :arghh: To all those in uk already, has the cost of living gone up for families & how did your children find moving back, starting a new school etc?

Hello everyone, I'm new on here & is looking for advice or just someone to talk to! Myself, partner & daughter moved to qld 4 years ago, since then we have had a son, they are now 5 & 3 years old. My mum also lives down the road which is great. My situation is that myself & partner have been homesick on & off since we have been here, felt very lonely & missed everything back home. It got so bad that my partner has become so depressed, he seems to hate it here & doesn't want to go out anywhere with us & is very negative about all aspects of Ozzie life. We decided to move back to uk 2013 Easter that way we can save up etc that was 6months ago. Now it's getting closer to the new year I'm starting to feel scared about the move, I feel deep down that I will regret it once I'm back, I've felt really settled & happy these past 6 months it's taking along time to feel that way. Our daughter is about to start prep in jan & both c.hildren are happy with there life, have lots of friends & are busy bees. My mum lives here to, we are very close & we see her everyday. I haven't mentioned any of this to her as I know she's going to to be heartbroken. Im not sure if I'm getting cold feet or my gut instinct is telling me I'm silly to go home again. I haven't spoke to my partner yet as I know how depressed he is & how much he can't wait to get home. Has anyone else been in this situation? We did go back to uk for hols last year & it was great to be home :xmas23:
