Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
They struck me as a bit too fussy! I missed the beginning of the programme, but hubby told me they had emigrated to Oz before?
What was the point of them being on the programme then ?

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
they emigrated over 3 years ago but came back as she was pregnant and missing her family.
they had then decided it was time to think about it again as where they lived was getting a bit rough hmm
just thought it was an awful lot they wanted and didnt find but then again couldnt believe it when they chose oz at the end?

I thought it was a bit strange, they seemed to like the UK better at almost everything, and yet seemed to enthusiastically turn the oh-so-important laminate card to oz each time . . .
Didn't realise how much perth has gone up since a couple of years ago when I first started looking!

Hi Gracie,
Hope it all goes well for you, if you dont try you could live to regret. We are moving in June, sold the house etc... etc.... and hopefully will love it and enjoy life in Aus. We are not so naive to believe that all will be fabulous but at least are hoping for a better/ different lifestyle.
Good luck to you, there will always be those who criticise, but its your life!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes J and J
Been here over a decade now, been back to south east of England recently, most of my family are there. Love it!
I also hope that you don't go through some of the awful pangs of homesickness, lonliness and feelings of not belonging that some go through.QUOTE
yOU say most of your family are in the south of uk,soundslike you got family to miss then.............I dont have any !!!...yes itis lovley, and damn expensive to live here, and work!!!!!
I WONT get any pangs i have lived here 32 years of my life i want to move, wont miss it and wont miss anyone no one to miss.

Perhaps if any of the families dare to choose the Uk overall, they have to pay back their expenses to the BBC

The dentist guy looked quite frightened when he was put on the spot to employ the dad . . . I thought they'd have chose the UK houses at least . . . they didn't find anything they wanted!
