Re: Would you do it all again?
Definitely.
Of all the bizarre decisions I've made in my life, this one has turned out the best (thus far) |
Re: Would you do it all again?
Yes, but at least 2 years earlier.
|
Re: Would you do it all again?
Yes for sure! but i would have done it 4 years earlier when my eldest son was at an age where he wouldnt have been at Uni and decided to stay in UK! :( Coming to Australia is the one crazy thing I have done in life which I have no regrets over:thumbsup:

Re: Would you do it all again?
Yes. To both times. :)
|
Re: Would you do it all again?
Nope - would of liked to come home after the 4 years planned on 457 but got carried away and husband wanted to stay.

Re: Would you do it all again?
No, economics don't make sense now plus the kids are all 8 years older and it's not fair to move them.

Emigration for us is a success, into our 5th year so think it's safe to say that. Would I emigrate somewhere else though? No. No. No. |
Re: Would you do it all again?
6 years in, yes, regardless of any prevailing mood/conditions.

Yes to the country and the job and lifestyle for me and the son but no to the rest. Had I been aware of all factors before i emmigrated I'd have stayed at home with supportive family and friends. Personally, I find a lot of the people you meet here or just not of the calibre of the ones you left behind. But, as i'd gave up a good job in UK that I can't return to and sold a house I would never get back at the price I paid for it, I'm stuck here making the most of it so just as well it's a nice country with plenty of things to do.

Re: Would you do it all again?
Nope, not knowing what I know now, absobloodylutely not.

Re: Would you do it all again?
No, on balance I feel as though I have lost more than I have gained by moving here - I am talking emotionally and spiritually rather than financially. I came to Australia when I was younger to please my now ex husband which with the benefit of hindsight and maturity was not the right thing to do.
Having said that; I don't hate the place - I make the best of the life I have here but it has never been 'home'. |
Re: Would you do it all again?
Definitely yes, the right decision, just wish I'd done it 5 years ago, then again I'd not have met my OH so it's been the right time for us both. :thumbsup:
Since moving here I have never felt so free in all of my life - free from the politics of a very messed up country, from a family situation which was incredibly unhealthy for all involved, and from a work situation that was, in the end, going to drive me insane, LITERALLY! :blink: And no, before anyone jumps in, I didn't move to Australia to run away from all of these things, I made a huge amount of sacrifice too, some of the things I gave up I'll never ever forget. :unsure: However, I feel I'm in a much better place emotionally, geographically and financially, than I have been for a long time. God Bless Australia :wub: |
