Stay or go

Hi, We are in leeds and contemplating a move next year. I'd be interested in a chat/drink! Where in leeds are you?

Hi all, I could do with some advice, I am new here. so...my husband has been offered a job in melbourne. The salary is good, we get a free company car, all flights and shipping is covered, and visas will be sorted (and paid for) for us. We are currently in the uk, own a lovely family home (albeit not in the best areas for schools) and have two young children, 3 and 9months. We have family fairly close by, although don't see them that much and don't receive any help with childcare etc. i am completely torn, and have no idea what to do. The job is initially for two years but apparently we could return after 6 months if we don't settle, or stay longer if we do. this is not really something we have ever considered so has all come out of the blue and i am totally confused. Would we be crazy not to try it, or is it a massive upheaval for a short period of I time (I wouldn't want to stay more than two years)? Our eldest would have to start school while there although would only be there for a year before we returned home, he's a sensitive chap and I know he would struggle to adapt initially. Help..........!
