Im just curious, of course :o :D

kinda us - we had to go back for other reasons too (sell house, sort jobs out and get a proper visa)! I wouldn't say we were homesick, just the area we were in wasn't for us and we felt our little suffolk village was better!

I know a few people like that, but I hope it won't ever be me. It's too darn expensive. :o I don't know how people do it but kudos to those who do ping pom... brave people.

You know when I came back I missed Oz and aussie hubby couldn't have given 2 hoots about Oz. Now 2years on I feel settled but we have discussed possibly going back later on in life, certainly not yet.

Tell that hubby of yours to slow down and chill a bit, you don't need to be getting into a state when you are preggers. Do you have a time limit left on getting back to Oz?

No having c-section due to oblique/transverse little mite....in english terms....breech and angled..!! ekkkk alien tummy...!!

Yep hubby will get the 2 brick watery eyes treatment after this..!! :)
