Default What did I miss ...Out good ?

Hi Guys,

Not been on here for a while been on a bit of a rollacoaster for the past 12Mths unable to get off !!

Anything good been happening ?

Also change in my circumstances and the visa thing seems to back in my face and very real again now have a thread here also

Hopefully all the old faces are still lingering around here I'll have to have a mosey on around now and have a look for myself

Cheers

Dougie

Hopefully I will ...eventually ! Thanks SC

The boys are really good thanks, the split was messy to begin with ( but theyno nowt about that) but all good now she has remarried (11 months after meeting him (real nice lad thou couldnt have picked a better one for the boys myself, If only I could warn him !!) )

And I have not mentioned the Oz thing to them cause they will only pass on to her and then she will think I am trying to do a runner with them or summit !!

But like I have mentioned in the other thread just in a right pickle at the minute as I have opened this mail off the COlate and its all come flooding back about the move !

Dont wanna give up on all the hard work but in the same breath canny see be being in a position to actually move for a few years yet !


How goes you anyhoo ? Hope all is well ?

Ok, so you won't leave your children behind, is there a chance they'll go with you and leave their mum?

Because even if you got your PR it's only valid for 5 years and if you want another one you have to show that you're comitted to living in Australia.

And the better life aspect, would it really be a better life if a) your kids are 12000 miles away missing you and you missing them or b) you've brought them and they miss their mum.

Tricky one that's for sure.
