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!
G/Luck there is always a welcome .

Its ok to be scared. We all get scared at times, if we are honest.
Be happy.

That's because half of your audience was tucked up in bed in Australia when you posted. Thanks again for the original thread, stick tickles me, and good luck second time round. (You buying a return?)

All the best, i really hope it all works out for you. Take no notice of what anyone says i think its one of the hardest things anyone will ever do. Going over is the easy bit its making a success of it thats the reality, but if you make it your aim to succeed and do your best you wont fail. Just remember people will always try to shoot you down no matter where you are in the world, the only way to deal with them is to smile and forget them. We can choose to let things bother us or choose not to. Life is so much easier when we make the right decisions which are right for ourselves don't worry about what anyone thinks, because those that matter will be there for you those that don't wont and that alone will make life a lot sweeter
Good luck to you and your family

Good for you for giving it another go!.....All I can say about Australia is that it has the same problems as anywhere else in the world and we class it as an experience to be here whether that be for 6 months or 6 six years. And as you know now, you can always go back!

Good luck!

I just re-read the original thread and I was far from being the harshest poster on that thread regarding your original flying visit. In fact three pages in I said "If you read his post history - the bottom line is - he never should have gone in the first place. With an Australian partner he probably qualified for a spouse visa rather than a dependent's one, which are piss easy to get hold of - so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. It's all cost him a lot of money, disrupted his life and proved that he's a home bunny. I suspect he'll be back 'home' soon enough, scratching his head, and wondering what the **** he was thinking." So I guess I was right. The simple fact that you've had a change of heart would also suggest that most people's incredulity at your week-long emigration was on the money too.

good luck Toryglen

Wishing you lots of happiness for your return. You don't have to justify anything to anyone on here ok. Sometimes we need to take a step back to be able to go forward again. You were brave to come back and post again, I saw the stick you got from some people on here.....

Have a good time back in Oz and just take from it as many happy experiences as you can.
