And for those who read through previous posts and seen fit to judge me, shame on you. Just because its not for me, doesnt mean to say i am loser, or a timewaster
And for those of you who are angry that i got there while you didnt, there is no point in being p!ssed off at me, speak to the DIMIA
I just didnt like it. But i had to come to see what it was like,its true that maybe i should have came here for a holiday before going for it. I could have been here a day, or 10 years, i just knew within a short time, it wasnt for me. But thats just me.
Mods, can this thread be deleted or locked? i am not impressed at people jsut searching for any posts i have made, and then sprawling it accross a thread. I can appreciate this is a public forum, and whatever i post is up for discussion, but some people have made this rather personal, and i dont like it.

If it's not for you and you know immediately that's fine - your life afterall. Obviously getting a spouse visa is a great deal easier than the skilled ones so maybe the pressure is not on you to make it work, you don't have to.
I think if I were you, I would either have made that statement and elaborated or not posted at all, just gone back but horses for courses.
Good luck to you.

I cant see how you know in weeks, the first few weeks is a blur to me.

Preston is encapsulated beautifully by the song, "Reaching out from here" by the Boo Radleys. The guy who wrote it, hated living there.

I have not read your previous post, i just think a week is not long, but only because from my own experience the first few weeks i can not remember, so much to do.
Maybe this should have been on the "going back " forum.
Good luck anyway.

On an unrelated note, what's the deal with your username?
Might as well call yourself "I Like Violent Young Scottish Thugs Who Go Around Beating Up Innocent People" and be done with it.
