Hi there! I'm a Pom who's just moved here with my husband who's Australian and my little boy who's 16 months. We live in Melbourne. We decided to give aus a o after living in London for most of my life and finding the uk increasingly difficult and with Brexit looming, thought we would give this a go for an adventure and new experiences while the bub is little. Oh and I found out that I'm pregnant! So that's quite crazy too. This is the thing....... I'm waaaaaaay more homesick than I ever imagined possible. I keep having these feeling that I've buggered up my life moving here and that I'm never going to find my real friends here like I have in London. I'm finding getting work harder than I anticipated, and I'm really worried about money and life here. My son is loving it, which is great, and my husband is too. It's just me and I can't shake it. I feel so stupid for thinking it was going to be easier than it is, and I just pine to go home on pretty much a daily basis. I'm so worried that I'm going to spend my life trying to settle..... So, any advice? I've been here 4 months. Does it get easier? And poms out there who can reassure me? Or say that they have had similar experiences? I really want to try and be positive. Melbourne is an awesome city and I just want to e joy it. It just all seems too hard. I will welcome any slagging off of London to help me see that we've made the right choice for now as well! Ha!! Thanks very much. Hope this is the right forum for this. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz
