So much going on, need advice
 
Hi guys

Got our visa, our house completes in two weeks.
Sadly not for the money we had planned for, but decided to it was best to take offer than maybe not sell it..
So we were going to live with family, until after summer, then head to Melbourne in Sept ?
Was staying here to let kids finish school, my college, have summer here etc etc..
Hubby is working a 60 hour week for £17, 000 a year, was made laid off in November had to put food on table. But today he has got a call to work in Wales, new job, very good money.
Except I need to stay here, with his family and he comes home at weekends. :thumbdown:
Happy to stay with his family, but feel really sad about him being away...
Really it is to try and get more money for OZ this extra money in 3 months will pay flights and container..
Or and this is the big question!!!! Do we just go now ?, book flights and head out, but container not even booked !!!
Or accept that this job will give a bit extra money for our move and stay...
Any thoughts guys ???xx

Yeah get on with his family, but im wondering maybe we should go with him and see how we feel being away from family etc..
Just priced basic hotel for him , flights, food, car parking at airport. £1600 a month !! but will still have couple grand left over a month after this outgoing..
I will still have food, petrol and a lot of it cause i now have a 70 mile trip a day between where his family lives and school..plus gas / elec etc..

Maybe we should all go...
