Virtually everyone has doubts as some point, some people have doubts from start to finish, its a normal reaction when you are planning something so huge.. but it is also very exciting

Whether it was the right or the wrong thing to do, to allay any doubts I had about the move, I put in the back of my mind that it was something I really wanted and I was going to do it but we agreed that if any of us werent happy within the first 6 months then we would turn straight back round and come home. I dont think I ever had any intention of coming back but I felt that we had a 'get out' clause albeit an expensive one, and this gave me the confidence to do it and knock back those niggly little doubts.

Definitely and it's usually little stupid things that set you off. I was packing all the kids winter clothes into a bag for charity the other week. There was loads of stuff - jumpers, cardis, coats etc. I was fine til I got to my 7 yr olds hat and scarf set - then I lost it. Started imagining not having a proper winter.Escalated to having no friends, not getting a job. I finally sat there thinking "I can't do this- I can't get on that plane" clutching a pink bobble hat

I called a friend, had a brew and 10 minutes later I would have swam to oz.

I think it must be perfectly normal but then again how many mad people actually think they're insane

Lee - I think we are on a parallel emigration trip
Our house is going on the market next week. When we bought the house 18 months ago OH wouldn't consider emigration so we thought we were in this house for the long haul. So We got a lovely 5 year fixed rate deal.
found out yesterday we have to pay £7000 exit fee
OH now doubting we are doing the right thing.

Thanks Julia

Its not that ive never had doubts,god knows i've had loads of them,its just the suddenness and the strength of the doubts that have scared me a bit.Maybe its the realisation of putting the house on the market next week thats getting to me a bit
