half your life in Aus
My boy turns 19 this year and we emigrated when he was 9 and a half (ish). So as a bit of fun I worked out that on the 22nd of June he will have spent 3452 days of his life living in England, and 3452 living in Aus. My daughter is Christmas day 2020, my wife is 10th August 2045, and I'm 12th October 2047. Awesome

I'd spent half my life in the UK and half in Oz up until 4 years ago, now Australia is in the lead.

Quite a wierd feeling, we've decided to celebrate each date as it happens, I just hope I'm around for mine I'll be 79 lol. It's especially depressing when you break it down into days haha

However when you physically emigrated you left UK residency on the day you flew but didn't take up Aus residency until you landed.
Therefore the transit days in between those days you were not a resident of either country so those days should be deducted from your calculation.
So you were nobodies for some days
I think

If you ever travelled abroad on holidays you would officially have still been a UK resident for the duration.

I haven't deducted the days lost through alcohol abuse either, else I'd be celebrating in 2137 haha.
