Jackboots Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 a year ago i wrote a thread on here about living in limbo and it being our last xmas in blighty, well a year later were still here , we have our visa and were still living a limbo of sorts, went to buy our xmas presents for our daughter yesterday, not any thing spectacular as she is only 2 and i don;t really think she cares if its a big expensive toy , or a box filled with ballons , as long as were there and she is loved why shouldn't she? this makes me realize she is a lucky girl that first and foremost is loved , as some are not out there.. im asking every day if we are doing the right thing in taking her away from her family as she is just at the age that she knows where granparents live etc, i know she will never see one of them again unless we come back for a holiday,( elderly). we have a very comfy life and hopefully our health which is the main thing, 2 good jobs , soooo why am i at our age going to live the other side of the world , i say its for our daughters sake family time and outdoor lifestyle , i hope any way, there are lots of things that i dislike about this country of ours , and there are many i do like, thats another thread! so what im wondering is with flights booked , family eager to see us over there, why? am i doubting this every day, is this normal?? i know we have to b'cause its life and its not a dress rehearsal, and its not like we can't come back is it? am i normal? or is this part of the stressfull journey down under? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WARDStoOZ Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi Sharon, sorry to hear that you're feeling this way... I'm sure it's all perfectly normal though and you will be thankful that you've done it once you're there...! Like you say, it's not as if you're being catapulted off to Mars never to return... you could always come back for a holiday or permanently...! I'm sure you're doing the right thing but only you can decide...! Good Luck!!! Regards, Dan xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest17301 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yes Sharon you are quite normal, you know everyone has doubts and it's all part and parcel of what we're doing. You answered your own question...life is not a dress rehearsal..please seize your chance while you can and remember you are in charge of your own destiny. If it doesn't work theres always a way back. I'm sure you will be feeling more positive soon. Big hugs xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaniaColin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi Sharon sorry to hear you have mixed emotions at the moment, i suppose it is the build up of Christmas which is stressful in itself, and also the worry of an op. I felt the same when we accepted the offer on our house thinking what and if, but then after a day or two on reflecting about the situation, i felt in control again. I would just look forward to Christmas, my youngest is two and i can' t wait to get the Christmas tree up, just so i can see his face. Keep your chin up and i hope you feel better about things Tania X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunseekers Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi Guys We got an email from our agent out of the blue to say they are expecting our visa to be granted very shortly for us to please have our passports ready. This email has come like a bolt out of the blue. Tonight we have been looking at flights for the end of Dec and for the first time in 12 months of it being my life getting there it hit me and i feel like i dont want to go,i honestly have no idea where this feeling has sprung from or how to deal with it, iv not said anything to hubby as he is on cloud nine with his beers...dont know what to do x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackboots Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 :hug:its a nightmare isn't it? they should be made to go through with it once an offer has been made , or pay a fee!! hope after xmas it gets better , all the best tania.
