Guest guest17301 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 If I only had 100 days left in WA I would be devastated. Poor you, I hope the UK is everything you remember and more. Some of us are happy here in WA...more than happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy123 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Counting down the days....... bad move (even though we all do it...LOL) Minutes seem like hours, hours like days, days like weeks etc, etc, etc. Now you have what you want get out and enjoy your last days in Australia make the most of your time left and before you know it you'll be off on that big bird to the country you love. I hope your life will be as good as you remember it to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest17301 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Try looking at it as part of your life sooveroz..part of life that can be enjoyed/explored/investigated.....could be a lot worse..not quite a sentence...? If I was in UK wouldnt call it a sentence more like time to make the most of given it's short nature. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in UK wouldnt call it a sentence more like time to make the most of given it's short nature. Enjoy. thanks. i do actually think like that normally. been all over oz and also to asia, and tassie. but its just things been happening back home that i need to be there for and we have such awful neighbours at the moment that it does feel like a sentence. i am literally crossing the days off the calendar. s'pose its just that feeling when your mind is made up and you are not happy with your circumstances, you just want to get on with it. we've done everything that was on my 'to do' list so it has been good but now its time to move on.

Guest RooRoo Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 29 days to go!!!!:jiggy::laugh: Or if you want me to be really anal, 703.5 hours. Been here since October 2008 and have been counting down the days since February, can't believe that our parole date is so close now. I remember the countdown from 100 and it really doesn't take long we've actually found that it seems to go more quickly once you hit the 100 mark. Before you know it you'll soon be on that big bird home. Good luck for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barab Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Don't worry many people feel the same way you do, A lot of people have burnt bridges and can't come home here to a better place. If you have realised early on that Australia isn't the place that it says in the websites and brochures then count yourself lucky. It is not the best place on the planet like it sounds on this forum. Get back here to a real life as soon as you can. All the best with your decision. Barab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Good luck with your journey home, life is too short to be somewhere you don't want to be. However, some people would love to have the choice of living in another country for a while and embrace it, warts and all. I lived in a filthy, dirty, damp, noisy, overpriced hellhole of a flat on a railway line in the backside of London for several years, I missed my family, became sick with the dampness, hardly could afford to eat, and knew nobody. I managed to make a life though, and look back on it with fondness. Maybe take it as experience, not a 'sentence'? (For a real experience of a sentence, ask some of the descendants of the convicts what a real sentence was to their families ). Be happy then, good luck with it.

Quoll Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 LOL, I got a life sentence by the looks of it. I would have got less for murder! (maybe that is an alternative I could consider:biglaugh:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoanneHattersley Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 As long as you are happy it doesnt matter where you live!

Be happy then, good luck with it. sounds like your previous experiences would set you up well to live in the rental I am currently in!! I think on the whole I have embraced the experience - have travelled widely and seen loads both in Australia and further afield. And not forgetting that i got here in the first place as my skills were needed and by god, they have got their money's worth out of me! But now that I have lived the experience and had a chance to reflect, its time to go back home to those I love and who love me. good luck to all whether staying or going!!

Guest sooveroz Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Bit harsh, just because you do not like Oz does not mean other people do not love it.:dull: lighten up - its just a bit of fun on a forum aimed at peeps returning to the UK!! if you think that is harsh then lucky you - you've obviously never been on the receiving end of some proper verbal abuse! lost of people love it in oz - thats great for them - but i wouldnt expect many of them to be wasting their time on this forum - so hopefully it won't offend too many. and its not that i don't like oz - there are many things i love about australia just as there are many things about the UK that i hate. but i just cant wait to get back there and am getting more excited by the day:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasia Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Could be around 100 days for me too - or after yesterday when a couple looked at my house - loved it and wanted to know how quickly I could move out - then it could be 6 weeks or so..... house only went on market yesterday too.... how good is that.

fantasia Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have horrible neighbours too - really horrible - it makes life quite uncomfortable - I try and stay in as much as possible to avoid them ... going to feel bad when prospective buyers of my house ask what neighbours are like - what do I say - "oh they're lovely - very quiet" or shall I tell them about loud mouthed Maori thugs, rude arrogant fijian indians, gossipy rough westie aussies... should I mention the street parties - drunken tatooed yobs ... music and loud voices and foul language until 3am......and you can't complain as most of the cul de sac are there and there would be repercusions probably .......are your neighbours Aussies or from some other country originally?
