After the worse week ever we decided to stay. It was the hardest decision but we have agreed we will stay were we are. We are considering an extended holiday to aus in the future then if we like it maybe reconsider. Thanks for all your comments

Yes we are planning on going at he same time, we have to let the prospective employer know by Monday if we want to give it a try then formalities will be discussed in terms of WHV they are aware we are coming together and they have said this is not a problem andwill discuss what we need to do. It just making the decision or do we go or not. Thanks for the useful advice learning a lot. :biggrin:

Thanks for the info, I think i will give the lender a ring to see what the terms and conditions are. There is just must to think about and consider.

I can take a work break for a minimum of 12months max of 3 years but not supposed to take any other paid employment whilst i am off, this is not an option for my OH who would have to leave his job. I have maybe suggested we say no this time go for a holiday to Aus then make a more informed choice one we have experienced it.

We currently have a mortgage on our home so would rent our home out if possible, but then if we returned after the 6 months we would have to secure good jobs again to take our mortgage back over i know this isn't the end of the world but i work in finance so is always on my mind! I have changed my mind about 40 times already today! :frown:

If we both like it and have settled apply to stay, if not come home which is the gamble. My family were ok with the idea but now ithas actually happened they are not behind us at all and think it is too much of a risk. I am still on the fence and time is ticking before a decision is needed.

Yes it is a 12 month WHV he will be going on, we have a mortgaged home which would be a struggle for me to pay on one wage alone if he was to go alone for a while. We are 26 & 28 years old with no kids at the minute but have been together for over 8 years. Part of me would like to risk it all to give him the opportunity and who knows i might really like it when i get there but i think the risks and stresses are very high if we only stay for 6 months. I was aware he was applying but it has happened very fast and reality has hit home. Thanks for all your views its nice to hear some outsider opinions. :biggrin:

We think it would be a better standard of living, an excellent opportunity and beats he british weather at the minute. I think it would be a good experience but I also think there is a lot of risks involved if we don't like it decisions decisions! I would have liked to come just for a holiday for a few weeks just to test the waters but things have happened really fast.

Thanks for the comments, the job is as a mechanic for a bmw and we would be going on a 12 months working visa, Nick is very keen to go but he will be working were as i have not got a job to go to when we first get there so feel this would not help with the home sickness. I don't want to let Nick down by not wanting to go but i can't help thinking i will really struggle when we get there. I am so confused on what to do we really need to decide before Monday as well :confused:

Hi everyone my parter has been offered a job in Brisbane, this has happened very quickly. We now have the dilemma of whether to go or stay. He really wants to go but i am not so sure we both have good jobs now and a home with a mortgage and life is not bad at all. It will be a big risk to go and not like it as there is no guarantee that if we go on a 6 month visa then decide to return we would be able to return to our good lifestyle. Also my family are very strongly opposed to the move and thing it is too much of a risk in he current economic climate! I am so confused! I really would miss my family and get really homesick any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance :biggrin:
