jon83 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sometimes I get the impression here that there are more people moving from Oz, than to! Anyway, best of luck on your move back :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Wow! And they say lightning never strikes twice! In your case it seems it struck many times! That's amazing, you should have bought some lottery tickets too!! I also managed to move from IT contract work in London to a permanent role in Scotland just before the post 9/11 impact on the IT market had a lot of my friends in London out of work for several months, sold my house there for a decent price and bought in Scotland just before a housing boom. People then thought I'd been smart but again it was driven by personal rather than financial decisions. I guess though I'm a glass half full kind of person, it could easily tell different stories...like buying my first house in 1989 and my OH losing his job in 1991 by which time the market had crashed and we had £12k negative equity - the banks advice was for us to claim benefits, not what a 26 year graduate wants to do!

BacktoDemocracy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Just riding my luck at barrow island... going to get laid off... hope i can get another 5/6 swings, i was always going home.. glad i picked up the last 4 years of the boom. Missed the uk recession, going to miss this one here too .....just .. Just think about the exchange rate we got out at the top but we sold up in advance and moved into rented so that we could take advantage, the pound will be weakened by the election here for a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Helz980 with the move back, wishing you lots of happiness back in Blighty. And to you too Paul all the best, we too are going back in just under 12 weeks time after 7 years so there are a few of us making the return home.

Guest Guest55385 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Good luck Helz980 with the move back, wishing you lots of happiness back in Blighty. And to you too Paul all the best, we too are going back in just under 12 weeks time after 7 years so there are a few of us making the return home. Yup, us too. Just looking for flights but aiming for June 14th. We just found out that the company will repatriate us and cover our flights and half of the costs of a half container. It's about $3k, so we're not complaining lol. Having a holiday first and giving the kids another 3/4 term at school. We will home school them until Sep - just an hour or so a day to keep the continuity. Otherwise they'll have missed nearly a whole academic year. As I said before, bitter sweet, but we're embracing the changes Good luck to everyone going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
