Re: 4 Months in (Nearly!)
Good luck to you as a family, you sound solid, supportive and there for your other half, well done you!
If you made a pact before you went that you all needed to be happy then you've stuck by it!
We have said the same to eachother, if one wants to return, we all return! It helps and is security as a family! Just think the boot could be on the other foot (as my mum says!)
Good luck to you all, it will have been a journey and an experience and thats priceless!

The experience has been priceless just unfortunately we haven't had enough time to do all the things we thought we would.

Re: 4 Months in (Nearly!)
Just seen your thread Lynne.....Really sorry it hasn't worked out for Mick.
It's really good that he has got your support.
I know this sounds a bit selfish, but I don't know that I would be the same. Even though I feel a little unsettled right now, I know it has taken me a lot of time, stress and money to get here, and don't know if I could cope going through all that again so soon.
Anyway, good luck with everything, keep your chin up, and you never know, you may end up being a ping pong pom
Keep in touch,

The time and effort to get here was stressful and no doubt will be going the other way but hey thats life. These things are sent to try us.
At least we came here and got the T shirt so to speak
Please keep in touch as it would be good to see how things are going with you as well.

Hi Lynne
I'm very sorry it didn't work out for you but this sort of things happen.. I trust you may wish to consider keeping your options wide open by visiting Oz when possible, hence intact your chances of gaining citizenship someday.

Re: 4 Months in (Nearly!)
We arrived on the 8th February to beautiful sunshine. Drove down to Mandurah where we were staying for a couple of weeks until we got rental sorted.
All the important things done and dusted. The usual list, Medicare, TFN, cars and job.
Eventually got a rental where we wanted and moved in 2nd March. Girls started school the following week and seemed to have settled very well.
OH started work and seemed ok for a few weeks but then I started to realise he wasn't so happy. Anyway to cut a long story short he has now changed jobs but still not happy. Works the same hours here as he did in the UK but can't accept that theres very little to do on an evening. He used to be out and about most nights if not tinkering in the garage then down a mates having a beer or out with me and the kids. Really don't know what I can do to help him get over this but whatever we both decide will be the right choice. Unfortunately for me I love it here and seemed to have settled into the way of life. I think its because I have met some really nice people here and can chat as and when I need to.
We both decided when we left that should either of us be unhappy or unsettled we would do whatever the other wanted no matter what. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Re: 4 Months in (Nearly!)
Thanks Ange. I would like to think he would be as supportive of me if the shoe was on the other foot. I think he would be but to be honest it doesn't make any difference now.
