Guest The Stobbarts down under Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Wow sounds like us 18months ago, we moved out to Oz and stayed for a year didn't like it didn't make any friends and were really miserable so decided to move back. 2 months after returning back to the Uk thought **** what had we done and realised just how good our life was out there, did a lot of soul searching and planning and decided you only live once so back to Oz we flew and got here april and can honestly say haven't looked back since. Kids are really settled the few friends we did make are still really good friends and in fact we actually had made more than we thought. So really all i'm trying to say is remember the reasons you originally came out here and why you wanted to leave the UK cause they haven't changed. If your visa is going to expire after you leave it may be worth getting citizenship at least that way if you do decide to come back even after a few years you don't have to go thru all that visa application again. Good luck with the move and really hope all works out well for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joetrac Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thank you for your kind wishes I am still on a High.My 3 year old says that she will not leave her toy room because she doesn't want to go live in the computer with gran and grandad. Kelli I know what your saying about Ping Ponging but we didnt leave the Uk for any other reason than we could...Our sponsership fell on our lap so we tried it out...its not worked so we are moving back...I loved my life in Scotland so Its easy for me to move back. I have been lucky to meet alot of friends since I have been here so I can always come back when I need a Holiday!! At least I will never think "What If" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Wow, you lucky things!!! Have been home 3 weeks now on holiday and it is blissful! So much variety, people talking to you and having a laugh, the green green grass that gives under your feet, it's absolutely brilliant! (You will all hear the screaming as they drag me on the plane back to the gulag!) I hope your move home goes well and you will be gearing up for a proper Christmas in no time at all!

Jo&Rich Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My 3 year old says that she will not leave her toy room because she doesn't want to go live in the computer with gran and grandad. That's so funny! At least you know that after no time at all she'll be loving it, all the attention from her grandparents and family. Will she be starting nursery this year? That will help her settle back too, making loads of new friends. All the best, Jo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She goes 1 day per week here to give her a chance to meet some friends and it costs me $160 per month. I cant wait to have some baby sitters so me and hubby can have some me time again.This was something we never really though about when we came over.

I really hate not having my parents to babysit:arghh:. If I went back, that would be a factor, just having time to ourselves. My daughter would be starting nursery in september too, and my (just turned) 5 year old doesn't start prep here until January, so they're at kindy too just to socialise, whilst I'm sat at home cos I can't find a job!
