Dawny Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 To say those 4 little words..... We are going home! Doesn't seem like yesterday i posted to say how well everything was going, and how much we seemed to have settled, But sadly not, It has been a very hard decision to come to, Lots of talking and tears, But thats the path we have chosen to follow, The kids have never really wanted to be here, and we as parents think we knew best, sadly not, You go through all the normal things to say, "Oh it will be better when the shipping comes, better when the dogs come home" Um no!! That just made it worse, So we are heading home, on the 18th August, Been a nightmare to sort every thing out, far more complicated to go home than it was to come here, But i think now its all sorted, we have someone to take over the lease on the house, shipping is booked, and the dogs have their boarding pass all sorted! All is left to do for the next few weeks is to enjoy Australia, even the kids are back to their normal self! Before you ask, yes we did consider another state, but the answer always comes back to the same thing, if your not happy and really can not settle then changing state will not make any difference, Also the fact that we have not given our selves long enough, Well to be honest, i think anyone knows how they really feel in the first few months, so why put your self through any more upset by staying longer, just incase it should improve! We do still have plans for Australia, but they have just been put on hold, see how things go for us as a family over the next couple of years, Thats all we can do, Never say never!! :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Very sorry to see you go Dawny,I was hoping that you would be happy here in Australia but if you are unhappy and being here is causing you and your family stress then you have to return to where you really feel at home. I do hope that you have some happy memories of Australia to take with you. Alll the best for the future. Cheers Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wish you a very safe journey home and back to familiarities. Hope you will be happy back in UK. Good Luck Caz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Best of Luck. I was born in Bournemouth, where you are from. Actually in West Parley, close to the Parleycross which I use as my moniker here. I left there when I was 13 so I now consider myself more Aussie than Pom. Good Luck with the move back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartertucker Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Wow Dawny...I never thought i'd be reading this post from you :shocked: But I understand your reasons & really do wish you and your family all the very best with the move back to the Uk :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Dawny Well done on making this brave decision. So often people are really unhappy and think things will improve over time and keep putting off that decision. Eventually they may find their family settles and the kids are happy in school and they get to a point where they are pretty much stuck here. Good luck with your move back to the UK and I hope you are really happy with your life back there. Love Rudi x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
