:confused: good question!!!!:rofl:


Rooksie - you've been before and want to go back - this time it will be for good i'm sure.

Don't feel daft for your ifs and buts - Truth be told I don't think there is anyone who doesn't have the doubt in their mind - they just don't like to say it. It sound like you are a bit like me!:blink: You just have to spill your guts so you can deal with it all:)

That the best bit about BE

You're absolutely right - its a tonic!! :thumbsup:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Tradies are doing it hard here with compliance...Workers Comp. Contract work , GST , big companies are now dictating the terms and the small family companies are disappearing. Lots of competition in Sydney , Yellow Pages are full of tradies and most are just earning a nice wage but the costs are catching up with everyone. Then again I dont want to scare you but the Asians and Indians have worked out for a PR it far quicker to be a tradie than a IT pro and they are coming in droves...

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

:lol: Love that smiley. i might keep it for people who upset me!

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

I think having doubts and mild panic attacks are par for the course when emigrating :blink:
Hope it works out for you Rooksie.
Just out of interest why are you keen to go back? Do you think it was just the hormones last time?

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

i was seriously ill mate and had to go into hospital. i had severe hyperemesis. didnt have the support network in australia to deal with it at the time. so yeah, you could say hormones! :D

got to go back and start over now :unsure:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Ive just been reading your old posts and its almost a year since you last went.

Time goes so quickly - unless you're waiting for your visa that is.

Can you believe the journey you've been on Rooksie? New baby, lived abroad - all in a year.:thumbsup:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

yes mate, landed in brisbane on 1 april (you couldnt make it up :o ) only to discover i was pregnant. all my dreams had come true and i was the happiest person alive :D . 4 weeks later and i felt like sh*t :rolleyes:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Nobody can say you lead a boring life :lol:
Good luck Hon :)

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

And all done and dusted with baby Eve and you are about to go back.

Do you remember the house price crash site or whatever it was, they came on here and started all sorts.

God it seems like yesterday.

I feel like im being left behind.

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

God good, woman! That wasn't an auspicious start was it! Try and pick a more sensible date this time around and it'll all slot into place. ;)

Glad to hear you're feeling positive again.

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

positive but sodding knackered mate. dont suppose sleep deprivation puts you in the right frame of mind either. god id give anything for a snooze :blink:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

is there nothing you can do mate?? have you just got to wait indefinitely?? :confused:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Nope, not a thing.

And if they dont get any other applications to process, then yes it is indefinite. :(

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

That's shit Sam, sorry to hear you're still waiting:frown:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

agreed, that is shit :mad:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Hello sweetheart, long time no chat:)

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

i know mate :o sorry if ive neglected you ;)

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

I was so pleased Nev got his visa this morning, but admittedly - jealous too.:o

You do get to the point where in your mind, you accept it might not happen, although about 1percent still hopes for 'that phone call'.

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Hows things with you fraser?

Would you say you feel totally at home now?

It seems like you have been there years.

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

How very dare you;)

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Well the inlaws have left so i'm basking in a 12000 mile buffer zone and it sure is sweet:rofl:

Yeah we feel totally at home, but always have done.

We're still trying to get our arses into gear to sell the house just not sure what to do:blink:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Hows the work situation?

Hasnt your house just been built? :confused:

Tell me fraser, have you got an aussie accent yet?;)

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

The work situation is about the same and I've stopped looking for something permanant as we'll be moving too far away.

No Aussie accent here, Henry has one.
The odd word will come out but no still a cockney;)

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Where do you reckon you will head for Fraser?

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

The other side of town is the plan at the moment, but who knows things may change by the time we get the sell. It could be a while.

We can't make up our mind about agents the ones we should go with who have all the properties around here just don't feel right.

The one who we like that feels right has none round here.

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

come to cairns!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Reckon you'll have any probs selling your house?

Hopefully the work situation will be better wherever you move to.:thumbup:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Mate that'd be like emigrating all over again, who'd be mad enough to do that...........:p

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

nearly choked on my pitta bread then!! :rofl:

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

It depends on what we can get for it we've had $340k- $410k values but we wont know until we get an offer or two.

We're going to need at least $365k to make it feasible.

Re: Having second thoughts (AGAIN!!)
 

Talking of pitta bread, I must go and see whats in the fridge for lunch.
