Can you not do the same?
Sorry I dont mean to sound negative, but have you thought of this option?

I will admit though that I sometimes would like to jump off this crazy roller coaster and get back to living a normal life. My hubby says it's just fear...I don't know so much.....

Cee I was borne and bred and buttered ere under the shadews of the clay tips that emmits call mountuns.
Spent many a day as a lad toboganin down them in an old car mudguard. Could ave gone into a granite boulder anytime and gone A over T, or wuss. Danedrus as hell but we wus feerless and that wus the fun.
In actual fact old boy I live in a town called St. Austell which is in
mid Cornwall on the south coast. It's close to the Eden Project and the Carlyon Bay multi million pound beach development and Charlestown where many a film has been made.
In fact our German friend runs a B&B at the old fishing village of Charlestown if anyones interested !!
Why do u ask JD ?

We would still go and the money would provide the final piece of the jigsaw, ie; a personal man-servant to deal with all the bugs, poisonous beasties etc!!

Would be on our way even sooner! Life would certainly be a lot easier staying or going but particularly going
Same as Paul&Ann-Marie we need all the pennies we can muster at the moment, an extra million quid would ease things somewhat!!
I do know we won't be winning , as we live in Guernsey and Lotto tickets aren't sold over here.......have to try the NZ lotto when we get there

Where theres a will theres a way. The new points thing that was done this week will calm down to a realistic level soon. If you have set your hearts on it, get a working holiday visa and go over and have some fun. Then apply for a longer stay when your sorted
You will do it

We would still go. The money would just make things a little easier. We are going for many reasons, the main one being quality of life. I work quite sensible hours compared to Andrew, he works 12 hour days 7 days a week. I want him to take things a bit easier, I might get to see him more often then.
