I always find myself apologising for butting in, so sorry. BUT
Well done for deciding to return, it cant have been an easy decision to leave in the first place i dont know but i do know how hard it is to swallow yer pride and take a second chance. i wish you every luck in the world and hope its all you hope for and more!

Anyway, i am not here to moan. I am here to say i am going back, and this time, i am going back with my eyes open. I start a job with IBM as soon as i get there, and my other half has the house and car all arranged, with the funds i left her. This time i really am looking forward to going, and just to getting my head down and getting on with. And after having talked to her for hours on the phone everday (you dont wanna see my phone bill) everything is good our world, and its time to take the next step, i am scared, but we can face our fears together.
whay am i posting this you might add? well basically, those who took the michael out of me, can go blow it our thier /\ss, and you know who you are.
flying out with Emirates on Saturday from Heathrow .... again !
see you on the other side!

Good luck to you, arriving back with the second time may well work, you probably havent wound yourself up to expect too much which is the most common pitfall. As you say, eyes wide open,
Best of luck to you
And I like your style, most dont post when they go back let alone if they ping pong, great attitude.

Yeyyyy, d'you know I was actually wondering where you'd got to and what had happened to you just a few days ago. Weird.
Anyway, wow - what an amazing time of it you've had. I'm so pleased your going back to at least try it again. You've got nothing to lose.
You've obviously been through the mill of emotions and thoughts since you came back so fair play to you for giving it another go.
Let us know how it all goes. Go with no expectations and make all things good happen for you!!!! It can be what you want it to be.
BEST OF LUCK MATE and stay in touch.

We are in same boat as you. Went in December 1997 came back March 1998. Don't laugh friends/family say it was a holiday, bloody expensive one. Going again September. Good luck second time around, feel more nervous this time than the last.
Safe flight and go for it!!!!!!

Goodlucky to you hun, i remember your last thread, but don't remember it getting closed. But from what i can remember you were asking for a bit of a ribbing, weren't you there a week or something
Move on and don't let these things bother you on here, it goes with the trerritory, and remember its cyber land.If this post is genuine, then i admire you, but i find it a wee bit hard to believe after the last thread
but again goodluck in whatever you do

Good on you mate for re-examining things!
You've got tons of bottle for deciding to give it another go, not many folk would.
Just remember if you feel homesick at any point to come on here and let loose, there are plenty of us on here in the same boat. There are also a lot of people on here who should know better than to slag someone off who is obviously not feeling great at that point in time.
All the best.

p.s. What part of Oz are you off to?
