Hey,, I am a midwife and I worked in a private hospital but I've had both my babies in a public hospital with no pain relief normal deliveries and the best care. So I'd rather spend my hard earned money on something that's gonna help me post delivery than going private. BUT it depend on your preferences and what you want out of the experience. I didn't need frills but I wanted up to date and best care for me and that's exactly what I got. So good luck with your decision. As long and both you and baby are healthy at the end of the day money does not count.

Thanks for all the input. Since posting I've been thinking a lot about this nervousness and when reading the posts here I think it's probably more fear than nervous. I want it to work as I don't want regrets and although we won't be living in our families pockets I just love the idea of having family dinners and social gatherings. With my parents getting older and I see the time, love and enjoyment they get out of my nieces and nephews and I guess I want my 2 to have this. I did grow up with cousins etc and most of my younger days photos I'm with some cousin or another. I am fearful as this is my family and my hubby's family are not close but he's assured me he loves the closeness we have. He recently told me he thought I'd only last the year !! I'm glad we came here and I'm glad our children can choose to come back when older etc but I also think that you have to go on gut feeling and I know deep down (somewhere!!) that this will be ok. Oz to France that's what I call an adventure..... My friends did similar move to south France and loved it and only recently moved back home.

Probably not till next may as we have lots to tie up here and we also have family visiting at Xmas and we will see out the summer her and head home next spring. Better than 2 winters!! We have made great friends and I do like it here but it's just not home. We have a rented property at home but were not going to live there as that would be too strange and it would not fit our family now!! Have you decided when your heading MRSlZB??

Thanks everyone I'm glad I'm not alone!! It's just the unknown as we have a pretty good life here but I feel I'd like to be near family and let my children have the full advantage of extended family etc. my husband supports me but I think deep down he'd be as happy staying here but he assures me that he understands where I'm coming from and he's happy if we're all happy. But like most I'm afraid that I'm seeing the grass greener so to speak. Either way I know I don't want to be this far way from them. It will be strange for us as we left as carefree see how it goes whereas now I want roots.....

Can you pm me your e mail and pics etc can't pm you. Thanks

Hi message got lost there. I'm wondering if those returning back home more anxious/nervous about the return journey than the initial journey out? I'm here 4 years with hubby and 2 kids (born here) and were thinking about going home for family reasons but I just can't believe how nervous I am. I do want to go home I like it here but I've always known I'd return. Anyone similar??

Hi.

Does that mean all sold or the outdoor set? ​
