there are no guarantees but if you dont go through with it you will always wonder how it would have turned out, so hold your breath and jump in the deep end

If you've already PINGed, the worst that can happen this time is PONG!

Of course you can do it (isn't that what you need to hear? )

You cant be sure can you it'll 'work' this time can you.
If you are heading back though just come with a really positive attitude (obviously).
I know how you feel as I pinged back too
Good luck, hope it works our for you

Is the reason you came back the first time still there ?

I'm sure it will be fine for you, as you are going with fresh eyes and a new perspective and know what to expect this time round.

We're on a mission to ping back there too so I know how you feel

Good luck

I did the ping back, came back to Oz, about 2 move back to UK.
I know everyones situs are v different etc but although I knew what to expect and felt back at home here straight away. for me the reasons I left Oz 1st time are the same ones this time.
Not trying to put a dampner on any pingers enthusiasm but thats the way it was for me...
Good luck

You can't, but you can't be sure that you won't get hit by a car tommorrow either!

Probably you will have thought long and hard about this already, and came to the conclusion that it is the right thing. So when it gets a bit tough trust that, decisions made later under stress or distress are quite likely to be irrational.

And you'll be fine I've been back now for 7 months, settling in the second time is so much easier. Like coming home!

Second time round for us! But you have to have a go otherwise you'd always wonder.

For us the feelings of loneliness etc. are still there but nothing like the first time around. We feel a bit more at home than before.

I'd say "go for it" but only you know how you feel now and, when you get here, like many other people, you may feel a lot more settled than the 1st time around.

I remember reading a post about someone who has pingponged 4 times!

Good luck.

Jin

Default Re: Can I do this again ....... gulp! Pingponging that is

Hey guys, feel a bit more positive today, just had the wobbles that's all!

We are now heading to the gold coast instead of cairns but that could change

At least we know what to expect this time round. Trouble is you can't be sure can you? I am really excited about going though.

We arn't going until we have sold the house this time round so that's a bonus and it means we won't have the same added pressure as last time.
