Hi Patsy

grab another ciggy!

you will be fine! Honestly, we have all been there and it certainly is a rollercoast ride. There will be times when you are here that you feel this way. Not trying to put you off only being honest about the resettlement process.

It is a big change in anyones life and to say that it will all be perfect is wrong of me. I am a realistic and that is the best way to be.

We are a good bunch and we will all be here for you. These guys have been a great support for me as i have been there too. I am sure i will be again in the future as well.

Good luck and may all your dreams come true

Go for it, Patsy. We've been here only two weeks, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. My Canadian wife said, as we left our beautiful house in the Brecon Beacons for the last time, "Look forward, don't look back." My Mum was happy for us to leave the UK, all my British workmates are green with envy, my son can't wait for his and his girlfreind's first visit. My new workmates are very welcoming, and all are offering any assistance we need - in and out of the office.
Yes, I know it's very early days for Lou and myself. But I think it's the bst thing I've done in years!

Its normal , ive been in the application merry-go-round for 3 and a bit years ... had my life on hold for most of that , went to canada for a bit before xmas and came back thinking "yay ,ill be coming back for good soon" and now ive got a few months of frenzied trying to get things organised before i go and every day is a mix of excitement and panic.

Just a really big move to make but sometimes the only way to progress is to move far out of your comfort zone ... plus the UK will always be there

When I left the UK in January, I don't think I'd ever been as scared of anything as I had that day.

For the first few weeks here, things were weird. Having said that, I've never once in the last four months regretted moving out here.

It's very natural to be scared of the unknown. I was so stressed out for the first week I was at work here, I nearly walked out of the job. Needless to say, I'm really glad that I didn't.

Autumn before I left had lots of ups and downs. I think I questioned my choices on an almost daily basis. Now I can't imagine ever going back to the UK to live

Patsy!

After reading this again i want you to know that you should fight for what you believe in! I did the opposite. I took the first job i was offered and now i have to put up with it until my 2 years are up in august. At least in the UK you will have support of friends and family to pass the time. Here it can be lonely at times when you are trying to get by(do your time).
i am not trying to be flippant just trying to place some possitive vibes your way. 2 years is nothing really believe me. There are many people here that rushed and regret rushing!

I just trying to help you see that things can turn out and before you know it you will be here and helping others going through the process!

good luck and follow your dreams
