Good for you!! Gotta have a few life experiences when your young!! Parents reaction probably worry and the thought of not seeing you.

One step nearer. My mum's reaction to our move wasn't good at all, but she admitted that she has got used to us not being there and is coming over for Xmas. I think that parent's negative reactions are just because they are going to miss you and can't imagine what life without you there is going to be like

I would agree with this too!

Lots of luck with the final visa steps

My Mother-in-law was adament we werent going and would make our life hell for us not to go. She told everyone. Came out to oz with us, at my suggestion for a holiday - and fell out with me. Didnt speak to me for a couple of weeks - and I couldnt do enough for her, but she was adament that we were not going and hoped we werent. Threatened us in many ways, and even told us we would go 'over her dead body'. Taking this into account, we still had to think about us - I was ill a few years ago and felt I got a second chance in life. Could have died with 2 very young children - life is so short - go for for it. You make of your life what you can.

Unfortunately, in the equation my mother-in-law got stomach cancer and died, very sad for us, but didnt hate her for the way she went on, she would have missed us, but we have to think of us and our children.

My dad is still alive, he is the only one left here, but he has always said to make the most of our lives and do what we want to do. So thats good.

God its a hard decision, but as I have said before 'Life is Short, you only get one chance at it'.

Thanks for the advise Best4ever..... i know its a much used saying but, its so true, life is very short. I have three daughters under 7, We all want the best for our kids, i feel that Skegness aint got it. But how do you answer relatives saying "yes , but do you have to go to the other side of the world?" X0

Well we did consider the east coast (Brisbane) but after much consideration, (i am lucky enough to have a brother and sister in law in Perth) i think it makes sense to be within a cars journey (or shouting distance, lol) of them. Think you will agree that makes sense.

We're moving then
