Get over it for FFS. I wound you up, you've had your tantrum and youve said your piece, but now youre behaving like a big girl.
Dust yourself down and put your dummy back in. Youre not some kind of 'God of the forum' where only your opinion counts and you don't really have the right to abuse people because they have a different opinion than yours. You just think you do. Agreed, maybe I shouldn't have been a bit tw@tty with OzzieEagle (who's posts I see do contain a lot of maturity and reflection) but get a grip mate. Lets ALL move on and get back to posting some valid comments on here ...... |
Re: is it worth it
Can we please all just grow up here? Stop the name calling, stop the insults or stop posting. Your choice.

It wouldn't be so bad if some of them explained why they are unhappy instead of posting shite, or waffling on about cash. I think some of them have adopted their own role as 'the fun police'.

So less than 25% makes for a 'huge proportion' ?
What school did you go to ?

Big deal. Youve got some whinging POM mates on a few forums. That hardly qualifies your statement regarding 'a huge proportion of people that would find the UK as a much better and therefore far more worthwhile country for them'.
Have you actually got any facts, or are you really just trying to pass off your negative views as such ?

Sounds like a great plan Kapri. A year in OZ, test the waters. I wish we had done that instead of giving everything up in UK. Are you selling your house or renting it?

The plan is to rent it out and take a years sabbatical from my job. I would have sold up and moved completely but OH doesn't want to. This is our compromise :D

Re: is it worth it
Four years down the line and it's still definitely worth it for us. Ask again in another four years and who knows what the answer will be. Nothing's cut and dried in life, go with the flow, change things if you want to and are able, otherwise just work with the good stuff and avoid the crap as much as you can.

Marriage/new homes/ kids etc etc. He was 14 when I left, he is 44 now. I've seen him 3 times in 30 years. We get along really well considering, and he did a fantastic job of looking after my Daughter for us, when she started off in the UK.

From my own perspective, the whole saying hello\goodbye thing at airports was also a bit of a killer, and also the first time that it made me seriously reflect on what I had left behind. Saying your goodbye's isn't easy, and maybe if your a bit borderline on your whole emigration experience, or worse still, having a rough time, then I can see it really getting some people down. But, aside from a few weeks of fairly mild 'winter homesickness' which I seem to touch on every year, all things considered, my emigration experience remains a very positive one. |
