Thanks for all of the help and advice guys, it really is appreciated. Sorry I've taken a while to get back to you but it's been a busy month end so far trying to prep stuff for when I'm in holiday in a week and with the usual busy life!!

I think the lifestyle thing is a big factor to consider, so thank you for reminding me of that. And thank you for the other points about leave and being an accountant moving over!

My best mate who emigrated to Australia a couple of years ago is back over today for a month and we have plenty to discuss about all of this!

Thanks again everyone!
