a wise decision reached I hope..
based on the current economic climate, we have decided to wait a while. Our business is on the market, but we don't anticipate it to sell for a while yet. We have decided that probably going the LMO, TWP route may well be risky at the moment with 4 children. We are still selling the business, we are still coming to canada in July but now more of a holiday. We will get my eldest lad (14) through his GCSE's first, and I will return to College/Uni for one year to gain another Business/Finance Law qualification so I get more points for education as at the moment we are very borderline on them, So sigh, why then after making such a sensible grown up decision do I feel so miserable........

Re: a wise decision reached I hope..
I can completely sympathise with how you feel. We were all set to embark on immigration as I am on the List and we seem to have enough points and we are feeling desperate to go and now, well, one of our closest friends died at the weekend, leaving his wife a widow at 47 and we need to be there for her as well as get over our own loss and she doesnt know yet about our plans. Also, my dad, also doesnt yet know, has gone into hospital with manic depression and so now it seems that the dream is that bit more out of reach. And of course the age old dilemma about leaving the people you love.
And the econcomy,......
So now, what to do?! I still want to do our reccie in July but do we still continue to fill in the paperwork when all feels upside down with emotion.

Ha ha, yes, and don't even get me started on the telling my mother bit..
We will just plod on and hopefully at some point in the next 2/3 years it will all work out.
You just get over excited don't you when you think it is all going smoothly.

Sounds sensible to me which coming from me is unheard of!
You are miserable cos it prob seems an anti-climax and like it will never happen, but it will, you obviously have your heads screwed on unlike some airy fairies I have seen posting here
Good Luck & where are you thinking of heading, for I am a nosey b*****d!

Leaving people you love isn't easy under any circumstance, no point in even going there.
Good luck to you too with however you proceed.
It sounds as if you need a holiday anyway so maybe the reccy trip isn't such a bad idea?

You need to do what feels right and as the old saying goes.....what will be will be.
Good luck with whatever decisions you make. I'm sure either way will be a tough one to make. One thing you also need to do is live YOUR life.

Sometimes these decisions we have to make are so difficult aren't they, especially when they involve the people we love. Take that lovely holiday in July and complete the paperwork when you feel ready.
