Guest MSTO Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Yeah my husband flew out to the UK last week for an interview.....best 2000 ever spent he got the job!!! Yay we had already sold our house and were planning going back anyway but obviously with the current job market were a bit apprehensive about job prospects...luckly for us its all go. I was worried my OH wouldnt like being in the UK (it was me that wanted to go back) and you know he loves it.... So UK here we come...cant wait:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcatania Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Yes all the best, hope it all works out for you. I was on the very brink of returning as I think you probably know, but was offered a job in Melbourne which I took. Many times I have caught myself wishing I had booked the flight instead.

Guest gratom Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 don't take any notice of the doom merchants;you've made the right decision[family members who returned say they don't regret it one iota]--much more settled,kids much happier and financially now back on their feet.Said they don't even miss the sun.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MSTO Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hi How long have you been out here then? What was your reason for returning to the UK? Good Luck anyway Hi Caz We have been out here for 5 years....biggest reason for returning is family... We have to young boys 3 and 1 and we want them to grow up with lots of loving family around them...My parents came over in Jan and the difference in my 3 year old was great. We understand Australia could give them a good lifestyle but I do believe we can also give them a good lifestyle in the UK ok not the same but different but with lots of family around them I cant wait for it....my family means so much more than big houses, swimming pools and sunxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SophieKin Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 What fantastic news about the job. I have read a lot of your posts and wish you and your family the best of luck in the UK. It is so encouraging to hear that your husband managed to find work and it must be nice knowing that you will have a job to go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck for your future and wish you all the best! Hi Spacegirl, It is hard one when its just one of you that wants to go home. We had been here before on a WHV so we knew what it was like. My husband always wanted to move back I wasn't fussed but I did not want to regret now doing it, for him especially. He has been great though and very supportive, he would live anywhere in the world if it made me happy as he hated seeing me so unhappy....which I am not normally like. I have found it increasingly difficult being here with young kids and no family, it just seems weird the boys not knowing their grandparents, cousins, Aunts and Uncles etc....and as good as Skype is they still dont get who these people actually are. I hope everything works out for you and you both come to a decision soon:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi SophieKin It is so less stressful knowing he has a job to go to but still none the less we are still stressed about it....I think it has been harder organising the move back for some reason than what it was to come here. Maybe because it was just us then and we didnt have the children also I think I want to get back more than I wanted to come here:biggrin: I have read a few of your posts, have you come to a decision on moving back yet? I think once the decision is made its such a relief from the umming and ahhing...although it has took us nearly year to be going back since making that decision. Good luck to you too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
