My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Dilemma, not sure what to do

Well operation oz is not going to plan that is sure.

One of the jobs that V was going for with Thales is a no go, but he did apply for 2 more with them so fingers crossed that something comes of them.

We now have to think what we are going to do if we cant get to oz in April when V is officially out of the army and we are homeless.

1 Stay with my parents, not ideal although a 5 bedroom house it is very cluttered and i feel claustrophobic there.

2 Stay with V's parents on Arran, plenty of places for the kids to play but only a 3 bed house and Benji would be a problem as Tinker is living there now and their last encounter when we lived in the UK saw Benji try to eat Tinker.

3 Kick our tennents out and move back to our home which could be for a month or a year (we just dont know) then we may have problems getting a tennent to move back in.

4 Look for a rental for ourselves not sure where or for how long

5 try and get a house in Germany and stay here till we move, however the kids would have to go to a German school and we would not get the army perks we have now.

6 Pray that some how an employer will sponsor V and we can move to oz ASAP.

My brain is hurting with trying to decide what we should do.

V is applying for his assessment with engineers Australia and is doing the CDR in the hope he gets Mechanical Engineer. But even that wont allow us to get to oz by April.

So im praying and hoping that our plans suddenly start to work the way we want it to.

Can't offer any helpful advice I'm afraid

Had to live with both parents at some stage during international moves and waiting, etc. I would advise not living with family if you can help it. You need to be pretty strong and have a focused, clear mind to endure that kind of torture, and with all the stress you've been experiencing, may not be the best environment for you. Only you know though how much you can take. Its a testing time for you and your family, but I hope it all comes together soon for you. Keep battling!! You'll get your pay off soon!
