Default Never give up on your dreams

Hi all,

I've been in hiding since OH declared that - after months of work preparing for our move to Adelaide - that he was turning down the Oz job in favour of a job in Denmark - go figure! - so we can't go. Well, I was gutted to say the least and I've been too depressed to come on here and face all the 'Australia chat'.

Well it turns out that OH is still negotiating the deal with Halliburton, so there's a slim chance we may still go but i'm not very hopeful.

However, I refuse to give up. We will get to Oz one day (I hope) - watch this space!

Nic

I wondered what had happened, I remember you posting it. You'll have to keep tapping a way at him. Us women have ways and means of getting what we want in the end

Money and a promotion Wendy - He's an ARSE - and i'm soooo not talking to him at the moment, I was relly nervous about the move, but also totally excited about it. Now I just feel flat - whinge over. You found a house yet?

PMSL That's made me smile, you sound so like me

Fingers crossed we have. Won't know for a few days though cos they have an open house on Sunday so they're waiting until after that to decide.

OMG, can't believe he would do that!!! Do you not get a say at all in this?! After all, money isn't everything. Does he not care if you are unhappy? Would it work to try and persuade him to give the Oz job a go to make you happy, and if it turns out after a few months that the Oz job is really crap then you would agree to another move? (Hopefully, once he is in Oz and enjoys the life there, thoughts of other jobs go out the window.)
