I presume one issue you will have to address is where to move back to as I imagine that council houses in Putney are worth their weight in gold so it may be very hard to resettle near to where you were before. Are you flexible about locations when you return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know that area is not possible,will have to relocate in new area and buy new place out of London,and start new garden co.but will just be easier to see family .

kiwiathome Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Can you please clarify, when you say go back in March do you mean all your family including your wife? Is she happy to go back? Also you say before you daughter turns 11, which is two years. But you are talking about March which is 9 months.? Do you have a good relationship with your eldest daughter back in England? Do you get on with the mother of your child in England as obviously you will be in a lot more contact with her over there than here? How would you family here fit back into the family dynamic back in England? That is assuming your wife wishes to return also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you family here fit back into the family dynamic back in England? That is assuming your wife wishes to return also. I think the OP means that if he moves back he would want to do it before his Daughter turns 11 (I would presume she is now 9), and that he doesn't plan to move until after March once he's done his Citizenship. OP - please remember also that Citizenship takes months to complete (possibly 6-12), so this would leave being able to move back until after at least October 2016. Good luck with your decision, we are all here to try and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry we can get citizenship in March and we are all over in uk in January,my daughter is here in a week for a hols.i found moving from family,friends quite tough and out of London,we are In safety bay,although we thought about moving more central like Freemantle or Perth? yes it's hard,not sure what it would be like living back there,but I am sure we would fit in some place. things and feelings may change over next year?who knows.:twitcy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
